EXAMPLE

Press [SPACE BAR] and select Yes (to enable) or No (to disable) traffic
redirect setup. The default is No.

When the Active field is Yes, you must configure every field in this screen
unless you are using PPPoE or PPTP encapsulation (except Check WAN
IP Address and Timeout).

If you don’t configure these fields and are using PPTP or PPPoE
encapsulation, then the Prestige checks the PPPoE channel or PPTP
tunnel to determine if the WAN connection is down.
