Settings – Port Options Connection Validation • Alive Indicator – This is the IP address used to check if the WAN
connection is operating. The XC-DPG Twin WAN Router will
contact this system to check if the WAN connection is working.
Change this address if you wish.
Note: This is not used for PPPoE connections.
• MTU – The Maximum Transmission Unit is used when determining
the packet size to be used on the WAN interface. Normally, this
does not need to be changed, but if your ISP advises you to use a
particular MTU, enter it here.
• Health Check – Disables the ICMP packets being sent to the router
from the XC-DPG.
PPPoE / PPTP
Connection Options
• Auto Dialup – If set to Enable a connection will be established
whenever outgoing WAN traffic is detected. If not Enabled, you
must establish a connection manually.
• Auto Disconnect – This determines when an idle connection will
be terminated. Enter the required time period.
• Echo Time – This determines how often an Echo request is sent to
the PPPoE server. The Echo request is used to determine if the
connection is still valid. Normally, there is no need to change the
default value.
• Echo Retry – The number of time the Echo request will be sent, if
there is no response to the first request. Normally, there is no need
to change the default value.
Transparent Bridge
Option
• Bridge Mode - If set to Enable, this WAN port doesn’t use NAT &
Load Balance function when LAN/WAN IP have the real IP
addresses on the same network segment.
• Traffic Management – Strict Binding, when the WAN port becomes
disconnected, all the bridge mode client stay on that WAN port.
Loose Binding, when the WAN port becomes disconnected the
traffic becomes redirected to the 2nd WAN port. Load Balancing, the
computers are using both lines.
