Chapter 7 WAN Screens

Click NETWORK, WAN and then the Dial Backup tab to display the Dial Backup screen. 
Use this screen to configure the backup WAN dial-up connection.

Fail Tolerance

Type how many WAN connection checks can fail (1 to 10) before the connection is 

considered "down" (not connected). The ZyWALL still checks a "down" connection to 

detect if it reconnects.

Period

The ZyWALL 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

Type the number of seconds (1 to 10) for your ZyWALL 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
