DESCRIPTION
Press [SPACE BAR] and then press [ENTER] to select the method that the
Prestige uses to check the DSL connection.
Select DSL Link to have the Prestige check the DSL connection's physical
layer. Select ICMP to have the Prestige periodically ping the IP addresses
configured in the Check WAN IP Address fields.
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). When using a WAN backup connection, the Prestige periodically
pings the addresses configured here and uses the other WAN backup
connection (if configured) if there is no response.
