Check WAN IP
Address
Enter the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for
example, your ISP’s DNS server address) to test your
Business Secure Router’s WAN accessibility.
The Business Secure Router 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 Business Secure Router to check
the PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) or PPTP tunnel.
0.0.0.0
Fail Tolerance Enter the number of times your Business Secure Router
can attempt and fail to connect to the Internet before traffic
is forwarded to the backup gateway. A good number is 2 to
5 seconds.
3
Period (sec) Enter the time interval (in seconds) between WAN
connection checks. A good number is 5 to 60 seconds.
5
Timeout (sec) Enter the number of seconds the Business Secure Router
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. A good number is 3 to 50 seconds.
The WAN connection is considered “down” after the
Business Secure Router times out the number of times
specified in the Fail Tolerance field.
