Status/Operating-time

The operating time of the router since it was last started is displayed here in days, hours,

minutes and seconds.

Status/Current-time

This displays the current device time transferred by the headend.

Status/Cable-statistics

This option allows you to display the various statistics parameters for the cable network

port. A large number of values related to the data volume transferred provide you with

useful information on cable port load, errors that have occurred and the internal

resources of the cable modems that are available in the current operating state.

The Status/cable-statistics menu has the following layout:

resources
