Prestige 324 User's Guide Table 19-5 Menu 11.6: Traffic Redirect Setup FIELD DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE Configuration: Backup Gateway IP Address Enter the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation. The Prestige automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the Prestige's Internet connection terminates. 0.0.0.0 Metric Enter a number from 1 to 15 to set this route's priority among the Prestige's routes (see the Metric section in the WAN and Dial Backup Setup chapter) The smaller the number, the higher priority the route has. 15 (default) Check WAN IP Address Enter the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your ISP's DNS server address) to test your Prestige's WAN accessibility. 0.0.0.0 The Prestige uses the default gateway IP address if you do not enter an IP address here. If you are using PPTP or PPPoE Encapsulation, enter "0.0.0.0" to configure the Prestige to check the PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) or PPTP tunnel. Fail Tolerance Enter the number of times your Prestige may attempt and fail to connect 2 to the Internet before traffic is forwarded to the backup gateway. Two to five is usually a good number. Period (sec) Enter the time interval (in seconds) between WAN connection checks. 5 Five to 60 is usually a good number. Timeout (sec) Enter the number of seconds the Prestige waits for a ping response from the IP Address in the Check WAN IP Address field before it times out. The number in this field should be less than the number in the Period 3 field. Three to 50 is usually a good number. The WAN connection is considered "down" after the Prestige times out the number of times specified in the Fail Tolerance field. When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt "Press [ENTER] to confirm or [ESC] to cancel" to save your configuration or press [ESC] to cancel and go back to the previous screen.
