Configuring the Online Detection

Configure the following parameters on this page and click

Port

Displays the name of WAN Port.

Mode

Select the online detection mode.

Auto: In Auto Mode, the DNS server of the WAN port will be selected as the destination

for DNS Lookup to detect whether the WAN is online.

Manual: In Manual Mode, you can configure the destination IP address for PING and

DNS Lookup manually to detect whether the WAN is online.

Always Online: In Always Online Mode, the status of the port will always be online.

Ping

With “Manual Mode” selected, specify the destination IP for Ping. The correspoding

port will ping the IP address to detect whether the WAN port is online. 0.0.0.0 means

Ping detection is disabled.

DNS Lookup

With “Manual Mode” selected, specify the IP address of DNS server. The correspoding

port will perform the DNS lookup using default domain name to detect whether the

WAN port is online. 0.0.0.0 means DNS Lookup is disabled.
