The WAN Juggler option ensures persistent connectivity by automatically choosing between your designated primary and secondary data services.

WAN Juggler automatically detects WAN service failure by monitoring a known IP address. When a failure is detected, the Junxion Box will automatically route all traffic to the secondary service. It will continue to monitor the primary service and will switch back when the connection is restored. If the Junxion Box on-board VPN client is being used when the primary service is lost, the VPN tunnel will not be restored on the secondary service. It will be restored when the primary service is available again. If a persistent VPN tunnel is desired, an administrator can go into the Device Manager when the connection is lost and reconnect the VPN. The VPN concentrator will need to be configured to accept the connection from the data card.

To setup WAN Juggler:

  1. Go to the WAN page of the Junxion Box Device Manager.

  2. Click on the radio button for 'WAN Juggler' in the Select Backhaul section.

    3. Several sections will appear that require more information.

  3. Fill in the Ethernet Backhaul fields with the appropriate information for the Ethernet WAN connection that will be plugged into port 2 of the Junxion Box.

  4. Select the Primary Interface as either Ethernet or PC Card. The primary interface should be the more reliable of the two connections.

  5. The primary route IP is a known reliable IP address that is regularly checked (pinged) to determine Internet connectivity. The default is Junxion's public web site. It can be changed to another IP address as needed. The interval is in seconds and determines how often the IP address is checked. Usually the default settings are the best.

When you have finished, click on Apply. Connect the WAN Ethernet cable to port 2 if you have not already.
