In addition to the Prestige's built-in PPPoE client, you can enable PPPoE pass through
to allow up to ten hosts on the LAN to use PPPoE client software on their computers to
connect to the ISP via the Prestige. Each host can have a separate account and a
public WAN IP address.
PPPoE pass through is an alternative to NAT for application where NAT is not
appropriate.
Disable PPPoE pass through if you do not need to allow hosts on the LAN to use
PPPoE client software on their computers to connect to the ISP.

7.6 WAN Backup
The CON/AUX port on the Prestige 652H/HW or the Dial Backup port on the Prestige 652 can be used in
reserve, as a traditional dial-up connection should the WAN port connection fail. To set up the auxiliary port
(AUX) for the Prestige 652H/HW for use in the event that the regular WAN connection is dropped, first
make sure you have set up the switch and port connection (see the
Compact Guide ).
7.7 Traffic Redirect
Traffic redirect forwards traffic to a backup gateway when the Prestige cannot connect to the Internet. An
example is shown in the figure below.
