Fallback Configuration

The Vivi devices have a feature that allows a Fallback Configuration to be configured for the vivi devices. If the primary connection of the vivi disconnects, such as a router or modem loses power, the Vivi device can keep running using the Fallback Network that was configured for it.

When you first receive the device it wont have a fallback configuration and is added to the vivi device when it is set up for wifi the first time. A wifi device will have its Fallback configuration automatically set to the ethernet connection that was applied to it. To allow Wi-Fi as the devices Fallback Connection you will need to do the follow:
