WAN - Wide Area Network
WAN refers to your Wide Area Network connection, i.e. your router’s connection to your ISP and the Internet. Here are the items within the WAN section: WAN Interface, WAN Profile and ADSL
Mode.
WAN Interface
WAN Connection-ADSL Mode
The default setting for Connection Mode is ADSL and for Protocol is PPPoE.
Main Port: User can select either ADSL or 3G mode.
Failover / Failback: Set Enable to trigger ADLS / 3G failover / failback function ready.
Backup Port: It links to backup port configuration page. It is necessary to configure it when Failover/Failback be set.
Connectivity Decision: Set how many times of probing failed to switch backup port.
Failover Probe Cycle: Set the time duration for the Failover Probe Cycle to determine when the router will switch to the backup connection (backup port) once the main connection (main port) fails.
Note: The time set is for each probe cycle, but the decision to change to the backup port is determined by Probe Cycle duration multiplied by connection Decision amount (e.g. From the image above it will be 12 seconds multiplied by 5 consecutive fails).
Failback Probe Cycle: Set the time duration for the Failback Probe Cycle to determine when the router will switch back to the main connection (main port) from the backup connection (backup port) once the main connection is communicating again.
Note: The time set is for each probe cycle, but the decision to change to the backup port is determined by Probe Cycle duration multiplied by Connection Decision amount (e.g. From ge above it will be 3 seconds multiplied by 5 consecutive fails).
