OoB broadband access
To ensure high availability IM/IMG4000 gateways have a second Ethernet (Network 2) port that can be configured for alternate and OoB (out-of-band) broadband access.
With two active broadband access paths to the IM4200, in the event you are unable to access through the primary management network (Network 1) you can still access it through the alternate broadband path (e.g. a T1 link) on Network 2. To set this up ensure when configuring the principal Network 1 Settings (eth0) connection, the Failover field is set to None. Then configure Network 2 Settings (eth1) with the IP settings that relate to the alternate link
SDTConnector can also then be set up to connect to the IM/IMG4200 remote gateway out-of-band using this alternate broadband path. This access is configured by providing the secondary IP address of the gateway, then telling SDTConnector how to start and stop the OoB connection by adding and closing the alternate route to the gateway.
