Re: Lobenn TCP/IP backup transmission device - RHC

Ok, I'm no tech expert, but here goes.

The device is simultaneously connected to both the internet AND the phone
line. So if the phone line is cut your IP connection is also gone assuming
you're using DSL. If the polling rate is set sufficiently short (and I
understand this is totally adjustable), the lack of a connection shows up on
the server in the station in that time frame, and would generate action at
the station end. However, if your cable carries the internet connection,
then there would also be a normal signal received at the station of loss of
connection on the phone line.
