Configuring USB Modems for Dial Backup

You can configure your device to “fail over” to a USB modem connection when the primary Internet connection experiences interruption.

Note: Low-latency traffic such as VoIP traffic is not supported over USB modem connections.

Note: We recommend using a US Robotics USB 56k V.92 Modem, model number USR Model 5637.

You use either the J-Web configuration editor or CLI configuration editor to configure the USB modem for dial backup.

For information about which devices support the features documented in this chapter, see the JUNOS Software Feature Support Reference for SRX Series and J Series Devices.
