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 field 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.

Note: 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 Gateway Type the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation. The

Prestige automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the Prestige's Internet

connection terminates.

Back Click Back to return to the previous screen.

Apply Click Apply to save the changes.

Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
