FIELD
Check WAN IP Enter the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your ISP's
Address DNS server address) to test your ZyWALL's WAN accessibility.
The ZyWALL uses the default gateway IP address if you do not enter an IP
address here.
If you are using PPTP or PPPoE Encapsulation, enter "0.0.0.0" to configure
the ZyWALL to check the PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) or PPTP tunnel.
Fail Tolerance Enter the number of times your ZyWALL 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.
Period (sec) Enter the time interval (in seconds) between WAN connection checks. Five to
60 is usually a good number.
Timeout (sec) Enter the number of seconds the ZyWALL 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 ZyWALL times out the
number of times specified in the Fail Tolerance field.
When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt "Press [ENTER] to confirm or [ESC] to
cancel" to save your configuration or press [ESC] to cancel and go back to the previous screen.
