Enabling/Disabling the Internet Connection
You can temporarily disable an Internet connection. This is useful if, for example, you are going on
vacation and do not want to leave your computer connected to the Internet. If you have two Internet
connections, you can force the IP60 appliance to use a particular connection, by disabling the other
connection.
The Internet connection's Enabled/Disabled status is persistent through IP60 appliance reboots.

The IP60 appliance then connects to the Internet if the connection is enabled. For information on enabling

You can configure both a primary and a secondary Internet connection. The secondary connection acts as a
backup, so that if the primary connection fails, the IP60 appliance remains connected to the Internet.
You have full flexibility in deciding which port to use for each Internet connection. You can assign the
primary connection to use any of the following ports:
