Web-based monitoring

This section discusses the Netopia R5000 Series Router’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. You can view connection profile information and event histories in the web-based monitoring pages, as well as configure and track budgets for switched connections.

You access the web-based monitoring pages by launching your web browser and entering the URL:

where router_IP_address is the address of your router. The default address is 198.162.1.1.

The System Information page appears.
