(normal, traffic redirect and dial backup). Type a number (1 to 15) to set the

 

priority of the dial backup route for data transmission. The smaller the number,

protocol address used within one network to a different IP address known within

 

another network.

 

SUA (Single User Account) is a subset of NAT that supports two types of

 

mapping: Many-to-One and Server. When you select this option the Prestige
