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.
