== Setting up 3G Fallback ==
If you have an AA data SIM, the FireBrick can configured to use this as a backup connection, by using a 3G dongle plugged into the USB port. Any routed legacy IP blocks will continue to work across this link, but so far IPv6 isn't supported. The FireBrick is known to support the ZTE MF112 Dongle and some Huawei dongles. Others may work too.
The basic config is:
<syntaxhighlight>
<usb>
<dongle username="startup_user@startup_domain" password=""/>
</usb>
</syntaxhighlight>
Provided you use your AA username and password, then that's all you need to get the dongle configured. If your main broadband connection goes down, the FireBrick will automatically switch to use the 3G connection, then back again once your main connection is back.
