Mode – Choose ARP Detect or Ping Detect for the system to

detection mode, you have to type required settings for the
following items.

ARP Detect - The router broadcasts an ARP request every
5 seconds. If no response is received within 30 seconds,
the WAN connection is deemed to have failed.

Ping Detect - The router sends an ICMP (Internet Control
Message Protocol) echo request every second to the host,
whose address is specified in the Ping IP field, to verify
the WAN connection. If the remote host does not respond
within 30 seconds, the WAN connection is deemed to have
failed.
 Primary/Secondary Ping IP – If you choose Ping
Detect as detection mode, you have to type
Primary or Secondary IP address in this field for
pinging.
Ping Gateway IP – If you choose Ping Detect as

detection mode, you also can enable this setting
