Physical Interface

The top left side of the screen lists total packets received and total packets transmitted for the following data ports:

Ethernet Hub

Aux Sync

IDSL 1 or SDSL 1

Network Interface

The bottom left side of the screen lists total packets received and total packets transmitted for the following protocols:

IP (IP packets on the Ethernet)

The right side of the table lists the total number of occurrences of each of six types of communication statistics:

Rx Bytes. The number of bytes received

Tx Bytes. The number of bytes transmitted

Rx Packets: The number of packets received

Tx Pkts. The number of packets transmitted

Rx Err: The number of bad Ethernet packets received

Tx Err: An error occurring when Ethernet packets are transmitted simultaneously by nodes on the LAN

Event histories

The Netopia D-Series records certain relevant occurrences in event histories. Event histories are useful for diagnosing problems because they list what happened before, during, and after a problem occurs. You can view two different event histories: one for the Netopia D-Series’s system and one for the WAN. The Netopia D-Series’s built-in battery backup prevents loss of event history from a shutdown or reset.

The Netopia D-Series’s event histories are structured to display the most recent events first, and to make it easy to distinguish error messages from informational messages. Error messages are prefixed with an asterisk. Both the WAN Event History and Device Event History retain records of the 128 most recent events.

In the Statistics & Logs screen, select WAN Event History. The WAN Event History screen appears.
