LABEL DESCRIPTION
WAN Backup
Setup
Backup Type Select the method that the P-660HWP-Dx uses to check the DSL connection.
Select DSL Link to have the P-660HWP-Dx check if the connection to the DSLAM
is up. Select ICMP to have the P-660HWP-Dx periodically ping the IP addresses
configured in the Check WAN IP Address fields.
Check WAN IP
Address1-3
Configure this field to test your P-660HWP-Dx's WAN accessibility. Type the IP
address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your ISP's DNS server
address).
Note: If you activate either traffic redirect or dial backup, you
must configure at least one IP address here.
When using a WAN backup connection, the P-660HWP-Dx periodically pings the
addresses configured here and uses the other WAN backup connection (if
configured) if there is no response.
Fail Tolerance Type the number of times (2 recommended) that your P-660HWP-Dx may ping the
IP addresses configured in the Check WAN IP Address field without getting a
response before switching to a WAN backup connection (or a different WAN
backup connection).
Recovery Interval When the P-660HWP-Dx is using a lower priority connection (usually a WAN
backup connection), it periodically checks to whether or not it can use a higher
priority connection.
Type the number of seconds (30 recommended) for the P-660HWP-Dx to wait
between checks. Allow more time if your destination IP address handles lots of
traffic.
