Chapter 7 The WAN Configuration Screens The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 30 ADVANCED > WAN Configuration > Traffic Redirect LABEL DESCRIPTION Active Select this check box to have the WiMAX Device use traffic redirect if the normal WAN connection goes down. Backup Gateway IP Address Check WAN IP Address Note: If you activate traffic redirect, you must configure the Check WAN IP Address field. Type the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation. The WiMAX Device automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the WiMAX Device's Internet connection terminates. Configure this field to test your WiMAX Device's WAN accessibility. Type the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your ISP's DNS server address). Note: If you activate either traffic redirect or dial backup, you must configure an IP address here. Fail Tolerance Period (sec) Timeout (sec) Apply Reset When using a WAN backup connection, the WiMAX Device periodically pings the addresses configured here and uses the other WAN backup connection (if configured) if there is no response. Type the number of times (2 recommended) that your WiMAX Device may ping the IP 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). The WiMAX Device tests a WAN connection by periodically sending a ping to either the default gateway or the address in the Check WAN IP Address field. Type a number of seconds (5 to 300) to set the time interval between checks. Allow more time if your destination IP address handles lots of traffic. Type the number of seconds (1 to 10) for your WiMAX Device to wait for a response to the ping before considering the check to have failed. This setting must be less than the Period. Use a higher value in this field if your network is busy or congested. Click to save your changes. Click to restore your previously saved settings. 100 User's Guide
