P-660HWP-Dx User’s Guide

Timeout 

Type the number of seconds (3 recommended) for your P-660HWP-Dx to wait for a 

ping response from one of the IP addresses in the Check WAN IP Address field 

before timing out the request. The WAN connection is considered "down" after the 

P-660HWP-Dx times out the number of times specified in the Fail Tolerance field. 

Use a higher value in this field if your network is busy or congested.

Traffic Redirect 

Traffic redirect forwards traffic to a backup gateway when the P-660HWP-Dx 

cannot connect to the Internet.

Active Traffic 

Redirect

Select this check box to have the P-660HWP-Dx use traffic redirect if the normal 

WAN connection goes down.

Metric

This field sets this route's priority among the routes the P-660HWP-Dx uses. 
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best 

route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing uses 

hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of "1" for directly 

connected networks. The number must be between "1" and "15"; a number greater 

than "15" means the link is down. The smaller the number, the lower the "cost".

Backup Gateway

Type the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation. The P-

660HWP-Dx automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the P-660HWP-Dx's 

Internet connection terminates.
