Seamless Failover:
In addition, there is a "Seamless" option for Failover
operation mode. When seamless option is activated
by checking on the "Seamless" box in configuration
window, both the primary connection and the
failover connection are started up after system
rebooting. But only the primary connection executes
the data transfer, while the failover one just keeps
alive of connection line. As soon as the primary
connection is broken, the system will switch,
meaning failover, the routing path to the failover
connection to save the dial up time of failover
connection since it has been alive.
When the “Seamless” enable checkbox is activated, it
can allow the Failover interface to be connected
continuously from system booting up. Failover WAN
interface just keeps connecting without data traffic.
The purpose is to shorten the switch time during failover process. So, when primary connection is
disconnected, failover interface will take over the data transfer mission instantly by only changing routing
path to the failover interface. The dialing-up time of failover connection is saved since it has been
connected beforehand.
VLAN Tagging
Sometimes, your ISP required a VLAN tag to be inserted into the WAN packets from Gateway for specific
services. Please enable VLAN tagging and specify tag in the WAN physical interface. Please be noted that only
Ethernet and xDSL physical interfaces support the feature. For the device with 3G/4G WAN only, it is disabled.
