Gateway IP

to this IP address if Prestige's Internet connection terminates.

smaller the number, the higher priority the route has.

Check WAN IP

Address

Configure a reliable server on Internet (for example, your ISP's DNS server address) for

Prestige will check it's default gateway IP address instead.

Fail Tolerance

Specify the number of times your Prestige may attempt and fail to connect to Internet

before triggering traffic redirect connection.

Period

Specify the period that Prestige would check it's WAN connectivity.

Timeout

Specify the seconds that Prestige would wait for a response from the reliable server.
