If the internet goes down
Search keeps working without the internet.
- On the Spec computer itself, search and sign-in keep working with no internet at all.
- Phones reach Spec over the Spec computer’s internet line, so that line matters when you’re away from the office.
- Spec connects out, so a backup line such as Starlink works with no settings to change.
If the office internet goes down
- Switch the Spec computer to its backup line, such as Starlink.
- Wait about half a minute. Spec reconnects by itself.
- On phones, tap “Try again”. Nothing else changes.
Save data on the backup line
- An admin can pause copies from AWS with one button, and resume them later.
- Set speed limits for working hours and for nights.
- Tell Spec you have a backup line, and copies wait longer through a drop before giving up, then carry on where they stopped.
Early access: we have tested switching lines in our own tests, not yet on a real Starlink line. Spec computers at customers’ offices get this with the installer.
