If you are using an external modem for failover

If failover occurs, the Edge can find a remote secondary host for
sending traffic with a modem. We support these modems:
• Hayes 56K V.90 serial fax modem
• Zoom FaxModem 56K model 2949
• U.S. Robotics 5686 external modem
• Creative Modem Blaster V.92 serial modem
• MultiTech 56K Data/Fax Modem International
Use these steps to set up your external modem for failover:
1
From the drop-down list on the WAN Failover page, select
Modem (serial port).
2
Below Dial Up Account Settings, use the drop-down list to
select your ISP. We support these ISPs: Standard PPP, AT&T
Worldnet, CompuServe 4.0, EarthLink, and MSN.
3
Type the telephone number of your ISP and your account name
in the relevant fields. If you have an alternate telephone
number, you can enter that below the telephone number.

If you log in to your account with a domain name (such as
msn.com), enter it in Account Domain.
5 Type the account password.
