uses this gateway if the default gateway is not available anymore.
Check WAN IP
Address
Enter the IP address of a reliable nearby computer the ZyXEL Device uses to test
whether or not the default gateway is available anymore. For example, use one of
your ISP’s DNS server addresses.
If you enter 0.0.0.0, the test fails each time.
Fail Tolerance Enter the number of consecutive times the ZyXEL Device may attempt and fail to
find the reliable nearby computer at Check WAN IP Address before it starts using
the backup gateway. 2 - 5 are typical choices.
Period (sec) Enter the number of seconds between attempts to find the reliable nearby
computer at Check WAN IP Address. 5 - 60 are typical choices.
Timeout (sec) Enter the number of seconds the ZyXEL Device waits for a response from the
reliable nearby computer at Check WAN IP Address before the attempt is a
failure. 3 - 50 are typical choices, but this number should be less than the Period.
