Check WAN IP
Address
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.
Fail Tolerance Type the number of times your Prestige may attempt and fail to connect to the Internet
before traffic is forwarded to the backup gateway.
Period
(seconds)
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.
Timeout
(seconds)
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.
