This timer specifies how often to check to see if the DSL link has been restored.
Step8 In the field provided, enter the Backup Failover Timeout value.
This parameter defines a time period which guards against too frequent switching
back and forth between the DSL link and the backup port. The default Failover period
is three minutes.
