FIELD

DESCRIPTION

 

 

Check Mechanism

Press [SPACE BAR] and then press [ENTER] to select the method that the

 

Prestige uses to check the DSL connection.

 

Select DSL Link to have the Prestige check the DSL connection’s physical

 

layer. Select ICMP to have the Prestige periodically ping the IP addresses

 

configured in the Check WAN IP Address fields.

Check WAN IP

Configure this field to test your Prestige's WAN accessibility. Type the IP

Address1-3

address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your ISP's DNS server

 

address). When using a WAN backup connection, the Prestige periodically

 

pings the addresses configured here and uses the other WAN backup

 

connection (if configured) if there is no response.

KeepAlive Fail

Type the number of times (2 recommended) that your Prestige may ping the IP

Tolerance

addresses configured in the Check WAN IP Address field without getting a

 

response before switching to a WAN backup connection (or a different WAN

 

backup connection).

Recovery Interval(sec)

When the Prestige is using a lower priority connection (usually a WAN backup

 

connection), it periodically checks to whether or not it can use a higher priority

 

connection.

 

Type the number of seconds (30 recommended) for the Prestige to wait

 

between checks. Allow more time if your destination IP address handles lots of

 

traffic.

ICMP Timeout

Type the number of seconds for an ICMP session to wait for the ICMP

 

response.

Traffic Redirect

Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes or No.

 

Select Yes and press [ENTER] to configure Menu 2.1 Traffic Redirect Setup.

 

Select No (default) if you do not want to configure this feature.

 

 

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to Confirm or ESC to Cancel:” to save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel.
