Table 78   Menu 11.6: Traffic Redirect Setup

Active

Press [SPACE BAR] and select Yes (to enable) or No (to disable) traffic redirect 

setup. The default is No.

Configuration:

Backup 

Gateway IP 

Address

Enter the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation.
The Prestige automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the Prestige’s Internet 

connection terminates. 

Metric

Enter a number from 1 to 15 to set this route’s priority among the Prestige’s routes 

(see the Metric section in the WAN and Dial Backup Setup chapter) The smaller the 

number, the higher priority the route has.

Check WAN IP 

Address

Enter the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your ISP’s DNS 

server address) to test your Prestige’s WAN accessibility. 
The Prestige 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 

Prestige to check the PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) or PPTP tunnel. 

Fail Tolerance

Enter the number of times your Prestige may attempt and fail to connect to the 

Internet before traffic is forwarded to the backup gateway. Two to five is usually a 

good number.

Period (sec)

Enter the time interval (in seconds) between WAN connection checks. Five to 60 is 

usually a good number.

Timeout (sec)

Enter the number of seconds the Prestige 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. Three to 50 is usually a good 

number.
The WAN connection is considered “down” after the Prestige times out the number of 

times specified in the Fail Tolerance field. 

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press [ENTER] to confirm or 

[ESC] to cancel” to save your configuration or press [ESC] to cancel and go back to the previous screen
