APN Backup
This feature enables you to configure a backup APN to be used as a backup network connection mechanism, only if the
primary APN is not available. When it is enabled, the gateway connects to the backup APN only if it is unable to connect
to the primary APN.
Note: Switching to the backup APN can take five minutes or more, depending on the gateway. If the gateway is always
connecting to the backup APN, check the primary APN to ensure that it is configured correctly.
Note: Do not configure a backup APN for gateways on the Sprint network. For more information, contact Sprint.
