7. From the drop-down menu, select the desired Test Interface (normally the
same interface as the primary route). Options are:
· Ethernet 1 (If you are using a GX Series device with a Dual Ethernet X-
Card installed, the additional Ethernet ports will appear in the drop-down
menu as Ethernet 2 and Ethernet 3.)
· USB
· Wi-Fi (Available only if you have a GX Series device with a Wi-Fi X-Card
installed)
· Cellular
8. Enter the Test Interval in seconds. This is the interval between tracking object
tests.
For most applications, the default values for the Test Interval, Test Timeout,
and Maximum number of retries should be fine.
If you want to change these values, be aware of the following:
· Selecting a short test interval increases network traffic and may lead to
false failures if the network is busy.
· Selecting a long test interval may mean that traffic does not switch to the
secondary route quickly enough when the primary route fails.
· The test interval must be greater than the product of Test Timeout x
Maximum number of Test Retries.
[Test Interval] > [Test Timeout] x [Maximum number of Retires]
9. Enter the Test Timeout in seconds. This is the time to wait for a response. If
this time expires before a response is received, the test attempt fails.
10. Enter the Maximum number of Test Retries. This is the number of times the
device sends the test messages (without receiving a response) before it
declares the primary network down and switches the specified traffic to the
backup network.
11. In the Enable/Disable Tracking Object field, select Enable.
12. In the Enable/Disable RSR field, select Enable.
