8.2 System Status Page The status page has been designed to give the system administrator a detailed view of the
operation of the PTP 400 Series Bridge from both the wireless and network perspectives.
The page is subdivided into three main categories Equipment, Wireless and Ethernet/Internet.
The ‘Equipment’ section contains the entire unit’s inventory and identification information. The
‘Wireless’ section presents the key wireless metrics displayed as a series of measurements
and histograms. The ‘Ethernet/Internet’ section describes the unit’s network identity and
connectivity.
The status page can be configured to refresh itself at an operator defined rate (if the user is
logged in as system administrator). The refresh period defaults to 3600 seconds and can
easily be changed to refresh at any period between 2 seconds and 3600 seconds. Pressing
the ‘Update Page Refresh Period’ button causes a new page refresh period to be adopted by
the system. The page refresh mechanism uses a HTML Meta refresh command. Therefore
the refresh is always initiated by the local browser and not by the PTP 400 Series Bridge at
this interval.
