3-4 Fail Over
WAN failure detection works by detecting the presence of traffic on the
3G modem link. If the link is idle for too long the router will attempt to
ping a target IP address. If the ping does not reply, the router assumes the
link is down and attempts to fail over to Ethernet WAN link.
Here are descriptions of every setup items:
WAN Check this box to enable Fail Over function.
FailOver (1):
WAN Priority (2): Please select the WAN connection priority from the
drop-down menu.
Idle Timeout Please input the idle time for detecting the Internet
Detect (3): connection. If the major Internet connection is idle
for this amount of time then the router will send a
ping to the target IP Address you have assigned. If
the ping gets a reply, the router will restart the idle
timer, otherwise it will failover to the second
priority of WAN connection.

Note: The router will not connect back to the first priority of Internet
connection once it has already failed over to another one.
