configure options for dual both online:

Enable: All default data will be sent via main link to Internet when main link is online. If

main link is offline and backup link is online, then it will switch to backup link, and
default data will send via backup link to Internet network. Meanwhile, main link is
trying to reconnect, the transfer will turn back to main link if it reconnect successful.
In general, working mode come first, backup link is to backup.

Note: If both sim are online and enable load balancer and load shunt, detailed data
movement please refer to the menu of load Arrange

Disable: only one link can work between main link and backup link. If main link is online, it

uses main link. If main link is offline, it switches to backup link. If main link is online
again, it will not switch to main link. Only backup link is offline can it switch to main

link.

Note: when users enable dual link option, they need to configure relevant keep online function if
connection type of main link and backup link is 'Static IP' or 'DHCP'. Detailed configuration refer
to Keep Online section. Connection type of main link and backup link forbid to be the same, and
not under the same Ethernet port. For example, main link is 'Static IP', 'DHCP', or 'PPPOE',
backup link must be 3G Link 1 or 3G Link 2, otherwise the page will appear corresponding hint.

already have a DHCP server on their network or users do not want a DHCP server, then select
Disable

Start IP Address: enter a numerical value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP

addresses. Do not start with 192.168.1.1 (the router's own IP address).
Maximum DHCP Users: enter the maximum number of PCs that users want the DHCP server to
assign IP addresses to. The absolute maximum is 253 if 192.168.1.2 is users' starting IP address.
Client Lease Time: the Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed
connection to the router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time, in
minutes, that the user will be "leased" this dynamic IP address.
Static DNS (1-3): the Domain Name System (DNS) is how the Internet translates domain or
website names into Internet addresses or URLs. Users' ISP will provide them with at least one
DNS Server IP address. If users wish to utilize another, enter that IP address in one of these fields.
Users can enter up to three DNS Server IP addresses here. The router will utilize them for quicker
access to functioning DNS servers.
WINS: the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) manages each PC's interaction with the
Internet. If users use a WINS server, enter that server's IP address here. Otherwise, leave it blank.
DNSMasq: users' domain name in the field of local search, increase the expansion of the host
option, to adopt DNSMasq can assign IP addresses and DNS for the subnet, if select
DNSMasq, dhcpd service is used for the subnet IP address and DNS.

3.3.1.2 Dynamic DNS

If user's network has a permanently assigned IP address, users can register a domain name
and have that name linked with their IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS).
However, if their Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, users will not
know in advance what their IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this
case, users can use a commercial dynamic DNS service, which allows them to register their
domain to their IP address, and will forward traffic directed at their domain to their
frequently-changing IP address.
DDNS Service: Four-Faith router currently support DynDNS, freedns, Zoneedit, NO-IP,
3322, easyDNS, TZO, DynSIP and Custom based on the user.

User Name: users register in DDNS server, up to 64 characteristic
Password: password for the user name that users register in DDNS server, up to 32 characteristic
Host Name: users register in DDNS server, no limited for input characteristic for now
Type: depends on the server
Wildcard: support wildcard or not, the default is OFF. ON means *.host.3322.org is equal to

host.3322.org
Do not use external ip check: enable or disable the function of 'do not use external ip check'

3.3.1.3 Clone MAC Address

Some ISP need the users to register their MAC address. The users can clone the router MAC
address to their MAC address registered in ISP if they do not want to re-register their MAC
address

Clone MAC address can clone three parts: Clone LAN MAC, Clone WAN MAC, Clone Wireless
MAC.

Noted that one MAC address is 48 characteristic, can not be set to the multicast address, the first
byte must be even. And MAC address value of network bridge br0 is determined by the smaller
value of wireless MAC address and LAN port MAC address.

Route Name: defined routing name by users, up to 25 characters
Metric: 0-9999
Destination LAN NET: the Destination IP Address is the address of the network or host to which

users want to assign a static route
Subnet Mask: the Subnet Mask determines which portion of an IP address is the network portion,
and which portion is the host portion
Gateway: IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the router and the
network or host.
Interface: indicate users whether the Destination IP Address is on the LAN & WLAN (internal
wired and wireless networks), the WAN (Internet), or Loopback (a dummy network in which one
