DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLE

 

 

 

Active

Press [SPACE BAR] and select Yes (to enable) or No (to disable) traffic

redirect setup. The default is No.

 

 

When the Active field is Yes, you must configure every field in this screen

 

 

unless you are using PPPoE or PPTP encapsulation (except Check WAN

 

 

IP Address and Timeout).

 

 

If you don’t configure these fields and are using PPTP or PPPoE

 

 

encapsulation, then the Prestige checks the PPPoE channel or PPTP

 

 

tunnel to determine if the WAN connection is down.

 

 

 

 

Configuration:

Metric

Enter a number from 1 to 15 to set this route’s priority among the

15

 

Prestige’s routes (see Metric on page 10-1) The smaller the number, the

higher priority the route has.

 

 

 

 

Check WAN

Enter the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your

0.0.0.0

The Prestige uses the default gateway IP address if you do not enter an

 

 

IP address here.

 

 

If you are using PPTP or PPPoE Encapsulation, enter “0.0.0.0” to

 

 

configure the Prestige to check the PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) or
