ISDN Backup without ISDN Line

Hello,
I have big problem. My client has to have ISDN back-up but there is no possibility to get ISDN line to my client location. Router has WIC 1B S/T and should call in to the another router with PRI interface when there is a problem with main line (FR).
How can I resolve this problem?? Where can I plug ISDN line?
Best regards,
Jarek

Hi Jarek,
If there is no ISDN service where the remote site is then you will have to forget about using ISDN backup from that particular site.
Your best way to get dial backup would be to use something like a WIC-1AM or WIC-2AM (analog modem WICs) at the remote site, connected to normal POTS phone lines. You would then need to install some digital modems into the router with the PRI (NM-6DM etc). In this way the analog modems can dial into the PRI, whereby the PRI router will direct the call internally to the digital modems.
This won't give as good a performance as a BRI ISDN circuit, but it will at least allow you to implement a dial backup solution.
Hope that helps.

  • ISDN backup for ADSL connected sites using separate router

    In our set-up we have a central site with a large number of remote sites connected.
    We have moved a number of remote sites from ISDN connections to ADSL connections. However, we would like to keep the ISDN and use it for backup.
    The problem I have is - how do I implement ISDN backup with our current set-up? From the documentation, I can see how to do this for more "straightforward" set-ups but not for the set-up we have! Let me explain:
    At the central site, we have a Cisco 7206 router. The ISDN connected sites connect directly to this router (which is configured with a large number of dialer map statements for each site)
    The 7206 connects to a PIX515E firewall. The ADSL connected sites connect over the public internet using IPSEC with the tunnels terminating on the PIX.
    The 7206 router contains static routes for the ADSL connected sites, pointing to the firewall.
    At the remote sites, we have a Cisco 837 router for the ADSL connection.
    This is connected (via ethernet) to the router we want to use for ISDN backup - a Cisco 800. The 837 and 800 are configured with HSRP.
    However, at the moment, if the 837 or the ADSL link was to go down, there would be no means to connect to the central site. How can we configure this to use the 2nd router for ISDN backup, given our set-up?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    (incidentally, I have only recently joined this company and have taken this over, without any information to go on as to why things are set up as they are !)

    Hello again,
    I think you can pretty much ignore my last message. I've done a bit more digging and I think I have a better idea of what you mean now!
    Lets see if I've got this about right. To recap:
    I need to set up a GRE tunnel between the remote site and 7206 router at head office, which in turn would be using IPSEC tunnel between remote router and PIX.
    So, steps required:
    1) set up IPSec tunnel to to PIX (this is the way it is already currenly configured - am I right in thinking no further configuration would be required as far as the PIX is concerned, for the new set-up?)
    2) set up GRE tunnel between remote ADSL router and 7206 - requires tunnel interface on both router with start point and end point configured. Use GRE keepalive to enable the line protocol to be brought down if the far end cannot be reached.
    3) Add static routes on ADSL router to reach head office network via tunnel interface
    4) Add static route on 7206 router to reach remote network via tunnel interface
    5) Configure ISDN map statement on 7206 mapping remote network to ISDN number
    6) Configure "floating" static routes on 7206 to use ISDN to reach remote network
    7) Configure HSRP on ADSL and ISDN routers with tracking of tunnel interface. If tunnel interface goes down, then ISDN router takes over as active.
    8) Configure static routes on ISDN router to point to head office network using BRI0 interface.
    So, under normal operation, traffic between head office and remote office will be routed across the GRE tunnel using the ADSL link.
    If the ADSL link was to go down then the GRE tunnel would also go down. So, the 7206 would then use the floating static routes to reach the remote network via the ISDN connection.
    The ISDN router would take over as active at the remote site since the tunnel interface would have gone down, forcing the HSRP to failover.
    Does that all sound about right? Is there anything I've missed?
    I'll start trying to put some configurations together when I get the chance - but, if its ok, I'll probably run these past you too, just to make sure they seem correct!
    Thanks,
    Neil

  • X.25 ISDN backup

    Hello,
    we have an ISDN backup line between a client (having unfortunatelly motorola router) and our main site. This isdn backs up a leased line of 128 Kbps and the encapsulation used is x25. In fact the whole network is x25 (it is used to carry SNA data).
    The main site has a PRI controller that backs up about 9 clients, so we have defined about 9 dialer profiles.
    On one of them we want to have bandwidth of 128 Kbps (so, not only one "serial" to be bound to the dialer profile but two).
    Is there a way to accomplish this having in mind we only use x25 encap between the sites?
    The connection works fine, this is not a problem of non connectivity. It is a matter of upgrading the isdn to 128 Kbps on a PRI controller when x25 encap is used.

    Just a tip. Instead of using X25encap on the link, you might consider using a GRE tunnel. You could then switch the X25 traffic over the GRE tunnel?
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk827/tk369/tk287/tsd_technology_support_sub-protocol_home.html
    This is one of the issues that GRE was originally developed for.

  • Failover ISDN backup link

    I have situation where half of my network is connected with one central location and other half with second central location. Every router is connected with primary frame-relay link and ISDN as backup link (floating static route conf).
    I need to configure that in case backup link can't manage to connect with one central location start connection with second central location. Failover ISDN backup link. Any sugestions? Thanks

    Configure the two numbers under dialer interface. These will be tried in sequence, and in fact if things are configured properly it will be no problem if some branches are connected to primary hub and some to secondary.
    Hope this helps, please rate post if it does!

  • How i can make a backup without separate hdd?

    How i can make a backup without seperate hdd?

    how i can partition the hd? please step by step...
    today it's my first apple-day ... i was 18 years windows user
    While I agree with everyone else, get a second disk and backup to that disk, I will point you in the directory of partitioning.
    Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
    Disk Utility may or may not be able to carve a new partition out of your existing partition, depending on whether the end of the current partition is unused so the current partition can be reduced in size and a new partition added.
    It may be necessary to use an external disk, clone your internal disk using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner (both free to use when creating a full clone), then partition your internal disk, and finally restore the external clone to the internal disk again using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If you do not want to get a 2nd disk, then consider using an on-line service such as CrashPlan, Carbonite, Mozy, etc... for the files you absolutely cannot aford to loose.

  • How to make a backup without password

    I have tried to create new backups, but every time as they are with a lock on. have deleted itunes on pc n without help. bought a new computer without help. my problem is that I have two girls who have switched phones, the mobile phone that owned the first desired content into the new. Now that it has acquired the old iphone ready and ruin the iphone and I wish to make a backup of it on the new iphone her but each time the backup is locked with a code. there is none of them have made some code!!!!!! only code code they have had is a code to open the phone. we have gone in between all the codes they have used but there is no acting. I've talked with apple suport on several occasions and they say that it is only making a backup without code.
    So my question is how the **** do I do it?

    You will have to delete ALL of your existing backups. Under preferences in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows), Devices, delet any and all backups that are listed. Connect your 3GS, right click in the device pane & select backup. You should be able to restore that backup to your iphone 4.

  • I backed up my iphone to iCloud and sold my iphone how can I get my pictures from the backup without another iphone ?

    Hi there I backed up my iPhone 4s to iCloud then sold my phone
    if I go on my ipad and go into iCloud-manage storage the back up is there
    But how do I get all the pictures from my iphone backup without another iphone ore using the ipad
    I need the pictures on my PC/windows phone

    1. Create a backup of your iPad to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud
    2. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
    3. Erase the iPad and restore the iPhone's iCloud backup to the device.
    4. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
    5. Restore the iPad backup you reated in step #1 back to the iPad.

  • Ow can I use my time capsule as a time machine backup without using it wirelessly and not as a wireless router?

    It is better to have the TC as part of the main network in bridge. You do not need to run wireless.
    If you want to use the TC plugged in by ethernet and still use wireless for internet, that is possible but the setup is rather more complicated.. the computer must not get confused about which device to use as a gateway or dns server.
    See info in this thread on setting this up.

    I need to add.. a USB drive would be cheaper, faster and more reliable. It is really poor use of a TC.

  • How can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data

    how can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data. unfortunately i have deleted few of my old photos and restored them from my old backup. i got the deleted photos but lost my recent data and photos. how can i get those too.

    You cannot. However, if your back up is through iTunes on your computer and you do an internet search for something like "iPhone BackUpExtractor", I believe there is software that will help you access the SQL database that is your back up. You may be able to pull out what you need.
    Once you restore from a back up, any data that was on the phone is gone.

    Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

    Answer is no.
    If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
    The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
    It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
    Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
    Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
    You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
    Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
    Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
    If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
    Succes, Lex

  • IOS8 is too slow on iPad3! Can I restore to my 7.1.2 backup without resetting to factory defaults?

    IOS8 is too slow on iPad3! Can I restore to my 7.1.2 backup without having to reset to factory defaults? I have both iCloud and iTunes backups....

    No.
    Apple has no support or provision for reverting to a previous iOS version.
    Try a reset of your iPad by holding down the power button and hone button simultaneously until your iPad screen goes black and the Apple Logo reappears on screen, then let go of the buttons.

    I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup. (which I now know was wrong). However, when time machine tried to restore it said there was not enough room to do a backup. It seems that it did a half backup because some essential  files such as system profiler are now missing. Can I undo this restore...? What can I do to fix this

    You need to do a full system restore, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14.

  • How to restore time machine backup without disturbing already installed app

    Hi!
    My school recently reconfigured/reformatted my macbook and install the school image. Now it is filled with applications that the school help us installed. Now how do i restore the backup that my time machine backups last time? Migration assistant or what? I did not change my mac, it is just that my hard disk got reconfigured. How do i restore backup without disturbing the apps my school installs?
    Please help thanks!

    I'm not sure what you mean by that. Is your user account still there?
    If not, and if you have either Time Machine backups or a "clone" as backups, yes, use Migration Assistant. See [Using Migration Assistant|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Migrate.html]. Note that you must be logged-on with a user account that's named differently from any of the accounts you want to transfer, or else be prepared to rename the duplicate.
    If your backups aren't either Time Machine backups or a "clone," you'll have to drag and drop or restore using the app that made them.

  • How to restore my iPhone 3G, ios 3.1.3, from backup without updating.

    How do I restore my iPhone 3G, ios 3.1.3, from a backup without updating.  I need to restore my ical entries and they are wiped out on both my main and backup drive and mobile me.  My phone is also wiped out and I think my back up may be my only hope of getting that info back.  Every time I try to restore using itunes 5.1 itunes only shows me th option to restore and update.  Not just restore.  Will the option to just restore from the last backup present itself in the process or do I need to shift click or something?  Thanks for your help...

    Can't I fake it out so it just leaves my ios as it is but restores files and settings?  ios 4 doesn't really work well with the 3G models.  They get slow and buggy.  Isn't there some way to just put the ipsw file somewhere and point to it?  Or, is there a way to just rip the ical info outof the backup files.  That would work to.
