-there will be lots of info coming out!
==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!
<pre> <usb>
<dongle name="Backup" username="example@a.3" password="password" nat="false" graph="3G" profile="3G"/>
</usb>
<profile name="Working_hours" comment="Office working times">
<time days="Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri" start="08:00:00" stop="18:00:00"/>
</profile>
<profile name="No_PPP" ppp="ADSL1 ADSL2" invert="true"/>
<profile name="3G" or="Working_hours No_PPP" comment="Backup active during the working day, or if there's no PPP at night"/></pre>
