DESCRIPTION
Press [SPACE BAR] and select Yes (to enable) or No (to disable) traffic redirect
setup. The default is No.
Enter the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation.

Enter a number from 1 to 15 to set this route's priority among the Prestige's routes
(see Section 5.2 on page 73
priority the route has.
Enter the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your ISP's DNS
server address) to test your Prestige's WAN accessibility.
The Prestige uses the default gateway IP address if you do not enter an IP address
here.
If you are using PPPoE Encapsulation, enter "0.0.0.0" to configure the Prestige to
check the PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit).
Enter the number of times your Prestige may attempt and fail to connect to the
Internet before traffic is forwarded to the backup gateway. Two to five is usually a
good number.
Enter the time interval (in seconds) between WAN connection checks. Five to 60 is
usually a good number.
Enter the number of seconds the Prestige waits for a ping response from the IP
Address in the Check WAN IP Address field before it times out. The number in this
field should be less than the number in the Period field. Three to 50 is usually a good
number.
The WAN connection is considered "down" after the Prestige times out the number of
times specified in the Fail Tolerance field.
