The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 30 ADVANCED > WAN Configuration > Traffic Redirect
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Active Select this check box to have the WiMAX Device use traffic redirect if
the normal WAN connection goes down.
Note: If you activate traffic redirect, you must configure the Check
WAN IP Address field.
Backup
Gateway IP
Address Type the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation.
The WiMAX Device automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the
WiMAX Device's Internet connection terminates.
Check WAN IP
Address Configure this field to test your WiMAX Device's WAN accessibility. Type
the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your ISP's
DNS server address).
Note: If you activate either traffic redirect or dial backup, you must
configure an IP address here.
When using a WAN backup connection, the WiMAX Device periodically
pings the addresses configured here and uses the other WAN backup
connection (if configured) if there is no response.
Fail Tolerance Type the number of times (2 recommended) that your WiMAX Device
may ping the IP addresses configured in the Check WAN IP Address
field without getting a response before switching to a WAN backup
connection (or a different WAN backup connection).
Period (sec) The WiMAX Device tests a WAN connection by periodically sending a
ping to either the default gateway or the address in the Check WAN IP
Address field.
Type a number of seconds (5 to 300) to set the time interval between
checks. Allow more time if your destination IP address handles lots of
traffic.
Timeout (sec) Type the number of seconds (1 to 10) for your WiMAX Device to wait for
a response to the ping before considering the check to have failed. This
setting must be less than the Period. Use a higher value in this field if
your network is busy or congested.
Apply Click to save your changes.
Reset Click to restore your previously saved settings.
