SPECIFICATIONS
Important Note
Should the local network lose Internet access due to a power outage or
interruption, the Go!Bridge IP Communicator is not equipped with a
backup battery system. To best prepare for power failures and to ensure
the security system maintains Internet access with the monitoring
service for life‐safety communications during power failures, the local
network must have a dedicated Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) or
backup battery solution from a third‐party manufacturer in place.
Linear LLC does not supply, provide, recommend, or test the Go!Bridge
with any UPS or battery backup solution. It is also assumed that owner’s
Internet Service Provider (ISP) maintains a backup battery (or power
generator) for their remote network equipment.
