Backup Considerations

Most businesses consider the internet connection to be of such vital importance that

additional hardware and communications services are installed to serve as a backup, but

slower, link to the internet if the primary communications path should ever be disrupted.

If the DWx000 is the sites primary access to the internet considerations should be given

to a backup alternative. Direcway offers a dial backup capable DW6000 model called the

DW6002. This model is only available for non-residential users. It has an additional

POTS RJ11 port on the rear panel to allow the connection of the DW6002 to a modular

phone jack. The commercial DW7700 also has allowance for a dial backup in reference

to their VPN offering.

Other than the DW6002 or DW7700 another method is through the use of more

sophisticated, and expensive, communications hardware that create “multi-homed

networks”. A multi-homed network is multiple connection paths to the internet through

more than one service provider. All connections are routed through a device that either

parcels out traffic among all connections, spreading out traffic and aggregating

bandwidth, or providing the hard failover if a single internet connection link were to be

severed. Such services are performed without disrupting the users on an internal intranet.
