None - If Ethernet communication is not available, the terminal cannot process transactions (default)

Auto Backup - If Ethernet communication is not available, the terminal will display "IP Connection Failed" then automatically attempt to use the dial line to communicate with the Moneris host.

Prompt Backup - If Ethernet communication is not available, the terminal will display "Use Backup Com Confirm". Select Yes to have the terminal attempt to use the dial line to communicate with the Moneris host OR select No to cancel the transaction.
