button to primary and backup WAN list
. The color of WAN button

You can select Timing or Failover Mode.
Timing:
Link Backup will be enabled if the specified effective time is reached. All
the traffic on the primary WAN will switch to the backup WAN at the
beginning of the effective time; the traffic on the backup WAN will switch
to the primary WAN at the ending of the effective time.
Failover:
Specify the premise for Failover Mode. The backup WAN port will be
enabled only when the premise is met.

not earlier than the end time, the default effective time is from the start
time of the day to the end time of the next day.
