Prestige 324 User's Guide Table 6-8 WAN: Traffic Redirect LABEL Check WAN IP Address Fail Tolerance Period (seconds) Timeout (seconds) Apply Reset DESCRIPTION Configuration of this field is optional. If you do not enter an IP address here, the Prestige 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. Type the number of times your Prestige may attempt and fail to connect to the Internet before traffic is forwarded to the backup gateway. Type the number of seconds for the Prestige to wait between checks to see if it can 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. Type the number of seconds for your Prestige to wait for a ping response from the IP 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.
