Health Check
Use this field to select the type of connection validation
to perform. When set to ICMP, the XC-DPG503 sends
out ICMP echo requests. When set to HTTP, the XC-
DPG503 requests web pages.
Alive Indicator
This is the IP address used to check if the WAN
connection is operational. When using HTTP, put in a
valid IP address of a web server. When this field is blank,
the ISP gateway IP address is used.
Note: This is not used for PPPoE connections.
MTU
The Maximum Transmission Unit is used when
determining the packet size to be used on the WAN
interface. Normally, this does not need to be changed, but
if your ISP advises you to use a particular MTU, enter it
here.
Auto Dialup
When set to Enable a connection will be established
whenever outgoing WAN traffic is detected. If not
Enabled, you must establish a connection manually.
Auto Disconnect
This determines when an idle connection will be
terminated. Enter the required time period.
Echo Time
This determines how often an Echo request is sent to the
PPPoE server. The Echo request is used to determine if
the connection is still valid. Normally, there is no need to
change the default value.
Echo Retry
The number of time the Echo request will be sent if there
is no response to the first request. Normally, there is no
need to change the default value.
Bridge Mode
When set to Enable, this WAN port does not use NAT &
Load Balance function when LAN/WAN IP have the real
IP addresses on the same network segment.
Traffic Management
Strict Binding - When a WAN port connection is
disconnected, the packets will not go to another WAN
port.
Loose Binding - When the WAN port connection is
connected, the packets will go another WAN port.
Load Balancing - This will mix real and private IP’s on
the LAN side doing the load balancing.
