Enqueue only one packet during interface connection period:
This parameter defines how many packets will be enqueued by the route during the time when
waiting for an interface to connect. When turned “ON”, only one packet will be enqueued, when
“Off”, two packets will be enqueued.
Initial Power-up delay (s):
This is the delay in seconds after the unit is powered up before packets matching this route will
initiate a connection of the interface configured in the route. It is typically used on GPRS units
that have ISDN backup to prevent unnecessary ISDN connections from being made whilst a
GPRS connection is first being established.
Deactivate interface / Deactivate interface # /
2nd Deactivate interface / 2nd Deactivate interface #:
The interfaces specified by these two pairs of parameters will be deactivated when this route
become available again after being out of service. This is typically used to deactivate backup
interfaces when a primary interface becomes available again after being out of service.
Remove OOS on this interface when route deactivates /
Remove OOS on this interface #
When the interface that this route is configured to use is deactivated, the unit will clear the out
of service status of any other routes using the interface specified by these parameters.
Remove OOS status for this period of time (s):
If a value is entered then the interface specified above will remain in service even if traffic cant
be passed on this interface immediately. This is useful in situations where a PPP interface is
activating and traffic should not try the next interface until this one has been allowed a certain
amount of time to come up. When this timer expires, if the interface is unable to pass traffic, it
will be marked OOS and the next interface will be tried.
Interface activation failure retry interval (s):
If an interface is requested to connect by this route (due to IP traffic being present), and it fails
to connect, the route will be marked as out of service but the unit will continue to attempt to
connect to the interface at the specified interval. If the interface does connect the unit will clear
the out of service status for the route.
Deactivate interface after successful activation retry:
When set to “On”, this parameter is used (in conjunction with the above parameter), to deacti-
vate an interface when once a successful activation attempt has been made.
Recovery group #:
This parameter may be used to assign the route to a “recovery group”. This means that if all of
the routes in a particular recovery group go out of service, the out of service status is cleared
for all routes in that group. If one route in a group comes back into service, all routes with a
lower priority (metric) also have their out of service status cleared.
Consecutive activation failures before applying route down time:
Normally, if an interface is requested to connect by a route and fails to connect, the route met-
ric is set to 16 for the period of time specified by the IP route out of service time parameter
on the Configure > General page. Setting this parameter to a non-zero value prevents the
route metric being set to 16 until the specified number of connection failures has been reached.
Use 2nd inactivity timeout when this route becomes available /
Change the inactivity timeout for this PPP #:
These parameters are used to select Inactivity timeout #2 on the specified PPP interface when
this route comes back into service. This is useful when it is preferable to close down a backup
route quickly when a primary route comes back into service.
