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

EN Rx Packets: The number of Ethernet packets received.

EN Rx Errors: The number of bad Ethernet packets received.

EN Collisions: An error occurring when Ethernet packets are transmitted simultaneously by nodes on the LAN.

WAN Connection Statistics

The WAN Connection Statistics give the following information about each channel of the point-to-point interface:

The number of bytes and packets received through the channel

The number of bytes and packets transmitted through the channel

Event Histories

The Netopia R2020 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 router’s system and one for the WAN. The Netopia R2020’s built-in battery backup prevents loss of event history from a shut down or reset.

The Router’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 the Device Event History retain records of the 128 most recent events.

To go to the Event Histories screens, select either WAN Event History or Device Event History in the Statistics & Logs screen.
