Method:

ICMP:

The health checking is performed by sending an ICMP

echo request packet to the speciﬁc destination.

The speciﬁc destination (“Alive Indicator”) could be either :

1. if the input box is ﬁlled (NAME or IP address): the host is used.

2. if the input box is left blank: gateway of wan interface will be used.

If one ICMP echo reply packet from Alive Indicator or gateway

is received, the connection is considered OK. If there are no

response received after 4 tries, the connection is considered

to be down.

HTTP:

The device gets a TCP connection with the

Alive

Indicator ﬁrst.

Then the device sends HTTP HEAD

packet to the Alive Indicator. If any HTTP DATA from

the Alive Indicator is received, the connection is

considered OK. If there are no response received

after 5 tries, the connection is considered to be

down.

Trafﬁc:

If there is no trafﬁc on the WAN port in the Interval

time, the connection is considered to be down.

Interval:

The period to check if the WAN port is alive or not.

Alive Indicator:

This is used for the ICMP or HTTP methods to determine if

your Internet connection is active or not.(You can either ﬁll-out

the IP address or host name)

PPPoE / PPTP Connection

Auto Dialup:

To enable or disable auto dialup for a PPPoE/PPTP connection.

If you decide not to use auto dialup or auto disconnect, then

you have to connect/disconnect manually.

Disconnect After

Idle:

The amount of time the router will wait before it disconnects

if there is no trafﬁc on the connection. Enter -1 to keep the

connection always alive. Enter 0 to enable ‘dial on demand by

trigger’.

EchoTime:

To determine how often an Echo request is sent to the PPPoE

server. Normally, leave this setting as its default value.

Echo Retry:

To determine the most times that the Echo request is allowed to

be sent to the PPPoE server until getting a response. Normally,

leave this setting as its default.
