Description of the menu options R75

Status

The Status menu contains information on the current status and the internal sequences of operations in the LAN and in the cable network, which can relate to the data transmission route (e.g. registration with the headend) or to statistics (e.g. number of data blocks received and transmitted). The statistics displays are an important aid for verifying correct operation and optimizing parameter settings. In addition, they provide valuable information for error analysis when malfunctions occur.

Most status displays are continually updated and can be deleted with a value or set to 0 in the current menu.

The menu has the following layout:

Status	Running status displays
Operating-time	Period of time the device has operated since it was last switched
	on
Current-time	Current time in device
Cable-statistics	Display of statistics related to the cable network
LAN-statistics	Displays LAN statistics
Bridge-statistics	Bridge area statistics
TCP-IP-statistics	Statistics from the TCP/IP area
IP-router-statistics	Statistics from the IP router
Config-statistics	Remote configuration statistics
Queue-statistics	Statistics relating to the packets in the queues of the individual
	modules
MCNS-statistics	Statistics relating to MCNS packets and MCNS timeouts
Init-status	Status of initialization process
DHCP-client-status	Status of the DHCP client and the negotiated values
Info-connection	Information on the last connection for each interface
Layer-connection	Information on the B-channel protocol used for each interface
Channel-statistics	Information of the status of the individual channels
Time-statistics	Time module information
LCR-statistics	Least-cost router information
Output-internal-status	Query of the internal system status messages
messages
