DESCRIPTION

 

 

Check WAN

Configuration of this field is optional. If you do not enter an IP address here, the Prestige

IP Address

will use the default gateway IP address. Configure this field to test your Prestige's WAN

 

accessibility. Type the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your ISP's

 

DNS server address). If you are using PPTP or PPPoE Encapsulation, type "0.0.0.0" to

 

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

 

 

Fail Tolerance

Type the number of times your Prestige may attempt and fail to connect to the Internet

 

before traffic is forwarded to the backup gateway.

 

 

Period

Type the number of seconds for the Prestige to wait between checks to see if it can

(seconds)

connect to the WAN IP address (Check WAN IP Address field) or default gateway.

 

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

 

 

Timeout

Type the number of seconds for your Prestige to wait for a ping response from the IP

(seconds)

Address in the Check WAN IP Address field before it times out. The WAN connection is

 

considered "down" after the Prestige times out the number of times specified in the Fail

 

Tolerance field. Use a higher value in this field if your network is busy or congested.
