= 3G based on profiles =▼
Sometimes we don't want the dongle to be online 24x7 as it's not clear whether the dongle has got into a strange state or not. It's also not clear whether some of these devices are designed to be left connected all of the time.▼
This example brings the dongle online for quick fallback during office hours, and leaves it powered up but disconnected. Fallback still works out of office hours but takes a few seconds longer to set up.▼
Note that both <usb> and <dongle> elements can be based on profiles. Leaving <usb> active but disabling <dongle> will leave the dongle powered up but disconnected. Disabling <usb> will physically turn off the USB port and therefore also the dongle. Cold starts take a lot longer!▼

This example is taken from a site which has 2 ADSL lines - hence the No_PPP profile being based on ADSL1 and ADSL2 being up.▼
The 3G profile is then active during the Working hours, but it will become active if both of the ADSL lines are down out of hours.▼
= Ping test example of falling back =
<pre>set command log level debug</pre>
-there will be lots of info coming out!
