LABEL DESCRIPTION
Backup Type Select the method that the P-792H v2 uses to check the DSL
connection.
Select DSL Link to have the P-792H v2 check if the connection to
the DSLAM is up. Select ICMP to have the P-792H v2 periodically
ping the IP addresses configured in the Check WAN IP Address
fields.
Check WAN IP
Address1-3
Configure this field to test your P-792H v2's WAN accessibility.
Type the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for example,
your ISP's DNS server address).
If you activate either traffic redirect or dial backup, you must
configure at least one IP address here.
When using a WAN backup connection, the P-792H v2 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 P-792H v2
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).
