Setup > Connection Recovery
An Internet connection can be established via the Ethernet Internet port or a USB
modem connected to the USB port. While both Ethernet and USB interfaces may
be connected, only one of them can be used to establish a link at a time.
By default, the WRP400 uses the Ethernet Internet connection when available. If
the Ethernet Internet connection fails, the WRP400 automatically attempts to bring
up another connection on another interface. This feature is called failover.
Whenever the Ethernet Internet connection recovers, the WRP400 automatically
attempts to bring back and recover the Ethernet Internet connection. This feature
is called Recovery.
NOTE
After you enter settings on this page, click Save Settings to apply your changes, or
click Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.

Recovery & Failover
•
Ethernet Connection Recovery:
This feature ensures that your Internet
connection is made through the Ethernet interface if it is available. Enabling
this feature also enables the Interface Connection Failover, which ensures
that if the Internet connection fails on the Ethernet interface, the WRP400
automatically attempts to bring up the connection through the mobile
network if available. Whenever the Ethernet Internet connection recovers,
the WRP400 automatically attempts to bring back and recover the Ethernet
Internet connection.
NOTE
Ethernet Connection Recovery requires that your Mobile Connection
Mode is set to Auto and your Ethernet interface is set to the high
priority. When you enable this feature, a message appears. Click
OK
to confirm that you want to change the Mobile Connection Mode and
the Ethernet interface priority.
•
Interface Connection Failover:
Failover detection works by detecting the
physical connection and/or presence of traffic on the Internet link. If the link
is idle for some time, the WRP400 will attempt to ping a destination. If the
ping does not reply, the WRP400 assumes the link is down and attempts to
fail over to another interface. Click Enabled if you want to use this feature, or
otherwise click Disabled. This feature is automatically enabled if you enable
Ethernet Connection Recovery.
•
Timeout:
Specify the time interval at which the WRP400 detects the status
of the Internet connection. The default timeout interval is 60 seconds.
•
Failover Validation Site:
A ping target for the WRP400 to use to detect the
status of the Internet connection. By default the WRP400 pings the Network
Time Protocol (NTP) servers. You may specify a different IP address as a
target here.

The device is plugged in and available but not active.
-
Connecting:
The WRP400 is attempting to bring up the link over the
device.
-
Connected:
The link is up and running on the device.
-
Wait Recovery:
When the WRP400 is connected to the Ethernet, this
status means that the Ethernet is waiting recovered to route to the
Failover Validation Site.
NOTE
You can click the
Status
hyperlink to view the Status page for the
interface. To return to the Connection Recovery screen, click the
Back
button on the browser toolbar. For more information, see
“Router

and
“Mobile Network Status,” on
page 104
.
•
Priority:
The priority setting determines which interface is used when both
interfaces are available. By default, the Ethernet interface has top priority.
However, you can change the priority setting by clicking
Up
to move an
interface to the top priority level or by clicking
Down
to move an interface to
the low priority level.
NOTE
The interface priority setting is configurable only when Ethernet
