7.15 Configuring Dial Backup
Click NETWORK, WAN and then the Dial Backup tab to display the Dial Backup screen.
Use this screen to configure the backup WAN dial-up connection.
Fail Tolerance
Type how many WAN connection checks can fail (1 to 10) before the connection is
considered "down" (not connected). The ZyWALL still checks a "down" connection to
detect if it reconnects.
Period
The ZyWALL tests a WAN connection by periodically sending a ping to either the
default gateway or the address in the Check WAN IP Address field.
Type a number of seconds (5 to 300) to set the time interval between checks. Allow
more time if your destination IP address handles lots of traffic.
Timeout
Type the number of seconds (1 to 10) for your ZyWALL to wait for a response to the
ping before considering the check to have failed. This setting must be less than the
Period. Use a higher value in this field if your network is busy or congested.
Apply
Click Apply to save your changes back to the ZyWALL.
Reset
Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
