2 CONFIGURATION 2.1 Configure PPP 1 (ADSL) This PPP interface should already be configured for use with the ISP. You should confirm that you have a working ADSL connection before proceeding with this configuration. The PPP 1 interface needs to be configured to be “always on”. The inactivity timer should be set to 0. Configuration - Interfaces > PPP > PPP 0 - 4 > PPP 1 > Standard Parameter Setting Description Always on mode ON Configures interface as always on Inactivity timeout (s): 0

2.2 Configure PPP 4 (PSTN) It will be necessary to configure PPP 4 as an outbound interface as the default is for the interface to accept incoming calls. Then ISP configuration will be added. Navigate to the following location: Configuration - Interfaces > PPP > PPP 0 - 4 > PPP 4 > Standard Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Load dialling defaults”. The PPP 4 configuration needs to be configured to be “always on” and have a power up delay of 60 seconds to allow the ADSL c

Click OK Configuration - Interfaces > PPP > PPP 0 - 4 > PPP 4 > Advanced The PSTN interface needs to be configured so that if PPP 1 (ADSL) is up and in service (i.e. passing data) then this interface is not allowed to initiate a connection. Parameter Setting Description Inhibit auto-activation when these Inhibit auto-activation of PPP 4 when PPP 1 PPPs are active 1 is active Inhibit if other PPP is Inhibit mode Only inhibit if PPP 1 is passing data active and not OOS 7

Click OK 2.3 Configure the Default Routes It is necessary to configure two default routes, one for PPP 1 and one for PPP 4. The PPP 1 default route needs to be set so PPP 4 is deactivated when PPP 1 returns to service after a successful recovery. Configuration - Routing > Default Route 0 Parameter Setting Description Interface PPP Default route 0 is via PPP 1 Interface # 1 Deactivate interface PPP PPP 4 will be deactivated when this route comes back into service after an outa

Click OK 2.4 Configure the Firewall The firewall should be configured to monitor the ICMP requests generated by PPP 1. If the firewall detects that 3 consecutive ICMP echo requests have failed, it will take PPP 1 out of service and deactivated thus allowing PPP 4 to come up. The IP address in the firewall rule must be the IP address that PPP 1 is sending pings to. The recovery code will then test the ADSL connection before bringing it back into service. When the recovery is suc

inspect-state – monitor the pings for echo replies and allow them back in oos 10 t=3 c=3 d=3 – if 3 consecutive pings fail, deactivate PPP 1 and start recovery procedures after 10 seconds. This 10 second timer could be increased (by editing the firewall rule) to prevent the Digi Transport from switching rapdily between PPP 1 and PPP 4 in the case where PPP 1 works intermitantly. This “oos 10” can be thought of as a de-bounce timer in the context of this application note. r=ping,10,5 rd

3 TESTING 3.1 Simulate a failure To test the fail over and recovery you will need to configure the PPP interface to ping a IP address that you can easily stop responding to ICMP requests (either through the use of a firewall or by physically disconnecting it from the network). You will also need to alter the firewall rule so it monitors the same IP address that PPP 1 is pinging. Once you have the IP address configured and the Digi Transport router is up on the main WAN link, remove your
