LABEL DESCRIPTION
Backup Type Select the method that the ZyXEL Device uses to check the DSL
connection.
Select DSL Link to have the ZyXEL Device check if the connection to the
DSLAM is up. Select ICMP to have the ZyXEL Device periodically ping
the IP addresses configured in the Check WAN IP Address fields.
Check WAN IP
Address1-3
Configure this field to test your ZyXEL Device's WAN accessibility. Type
the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your ISP's
DNS server address).
Note: 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 ZyXEL Device 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 ZyXEL Device
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).
