You can connect a modem to the FortiGate unit and use it as either a backup interface
or standalone interface.
• In backup mode, the modem interface automatically takes over from a selected
ethernet interface when that ethernet interface is unavailable.
• In standalone mode, the modem interface is the connection from the FortiGate unit
to the Internet.
