SmartView

This section discusses SmartView, the Netopia R9100’s device and network web-based monitoring tool. This tool can provide statistical information, report on current network status, record events, and help in diagnosing and locating problems.

SmartView overview

SmartView is a Java-based applet that runs in a Web browser window. It intermittently polls the router for information to monitor the router’s state and event histories. SmartView should run under any Java Virtual Machine (JVM)–enabled browser, and is therefore platform independent.

Note: The SmartView applet will only run under Java-enabled browsers. Be sure that the browser you are using is at least Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 3.0 or higher, or Netscape Navigator Version 3.0 or Communicator Version 4.0 or higher. If your browser does not meet this requirement, you can upgrade with a browser supplied on the Netopia CD.

The information you can view about your router using SmartView is shown in the table below:
