Next Hop on
Primary Link Allows you to enter the IP address (in dot format) of the next hop router.
This address is used by Net Link Manager to add a default route in Business Communications
Manager. If this address ever becomes unreachable, Net Link Manager dials the backup link and
changes the default route.
This is usually the remote router of the primary WAN link.
Up Poll Interval Allows you to set the polling interval on the Primary WAN Link, in seconds.
The up poll interval is the interval between successive pings when the next hop on the primary
link is available.
