Configuring the modem interface
All FortiGate-50 series and FortiGate-60 series modules include modem support.
You can use the modem as either a backup interface or a standalone interface in
NAT/Route mode.
• In redundant (backup) mode, the modem interface automatically takes over
from a selected ethernet interface when that ethernet interface is unavailable.
• In standalone mode, the modem interface is the connection from the FortiGate
unit to the Internet.
