      Please log in to WebUI by visiting 192.168.5.1. The admin log password can be found on the product label.

       

      Then go to Settings -> Advanced -> Failover -> Select radio button On for Keepalive.

       

      Thanks

        Thanks! i found it. there are some other keepalive settings too (keepalive interval) and a ping configuration. do I need to change anything with these or keep the default?
