Method:

 

ICMP:

 

 

 

The health checking is performed by sending an ICMP

 

 

echo request packet to the specific destination.

 

 

The specific destination (“Alive Indicator”) could be either :

 

 

1. if the input box is filled (NAME or IP address): the host is used.

 

 

2. if the input box is left blank: gateway of wan interface will be used.

 

 

If one ICMP echo reply packet from Alive Indicator or gateway

 

 

is received, the connection is considered OK. If there are no

 

 

response received after 4 tries, the connection is considered

 

 

to be down.

 

 

HTTP:

 

 

The device gets a TCP connection with the Alive

 

 

Indicator first. Then the device sends HTTP HEAD

 

 

packet to the Alive Indicator. If any HTTP DATA from

 

 

the Alive Indicator is received, the connection is

 

 

considered OK. If there are no response received

 

 

after 5 tries, the connection is considered to be

 

 

down.

 

 

Traffic:

 

 

If there is no traffic on the WAN port in the Interval

 

 

time, the connection is considered to be down.

Interval:

 

The period to check if the WAN port is alive or not.

Alive Indicator:

 

This is used for the ICMP or HTTP methods to determine if

 

 

your Internet connection is active or not.(You can either fill-out

 

 

the IP address or host name)

 

 

 

PPPoE / PPTP Connection

Auto Dialup: To enable or disable auto dialup for a PPPoE/PPTP connection. If you decide not to use auto dialup or auto disconnect, then you have to connect/disconnect manually.

Disconnect After

The amount of time the router will wait before it disconnects

Idle:

if there is no traffic on the connection. Enter -1 to keep the

 

connection always alive. Enter 0 to enable ‘dial on demand by

 

trigger’.

EchoTime:

To determine how often an Echo request is sent to the PPPoE

 

server. Normally, leave this setting as its default value.

Echo Retry:

To determine the most times that the Echo request is allowed to

 

be sent to the PPPoE server until getting a response. Normally,

 

leave this setting as its default.
