2.Traffic-redirect route.3.Dial-backup route.

For example, if the normal route has a metric of "1" and the traffic-redirect route has a metric of "2" and dial-backup route has a metric of "3", then the normal route acts as the primary default route. If the normal route fails to connect to the Internet, the Prestige tries the traffic-redirect route next. In the same manner, the Prestige uses the dial-backup route if the traffic-redirect route also fails.

If you want the dial-backup route to take first priority over the traffic-redirect route or even the normal route, all you need to do is set the dial-backup route’s metric to "1" and the others to "2" (or greater).

To configure the parameters for traffic redirect, enter 11 from the main menu to display Menu 11.1— Remote Node Profile as shown next.
