Label Description
Interval checks to determine whether or not it can use a higher priority connection.
Type the number of seconds (30 recommended) for the Prestige to wait between checks. Allow more time if
your destination IP address handles lots of traffic.
Timeout Type the number of seconds (3 recommended) for your Prestige to wait for a ping response from one of the
IP addresses in the Check WAN IP Address fields before timing out the request. The WAN connection is
considered "down" after the Prestige times out the number of times specified in the Fail Tolerance field. Use
a higher value in this field if your network is busy or congested.
Traffic
Redirect
Active Select this check box to have the Prestige use traffic redirect if the normal WAN connection goes down.
If you activate traffic redirect, you must configure at least one Check WAN IP Address.
Metric This field sets this route's priority among the routes the Prestige uses.
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best route for transmission by
choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a
minimum of "1" for directly connected networks. The number must be between "1" and "15"; a number
greater than "15" means the link is down. The smaller the number, the lower the "cost".
Backup Type the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation. The Prestige automatically forwards
Gateway traffic to this IP address if the Prestige's Internet connection terminates.
