Information — Device

The Device information panel shows information about the Wireless Gateway itself.

Information shown at the top of the panel is fixed: Model, Hardware Version (version number of the unit's physical circuitry), and Firmware Version (version number of the code in the unit's read-only memory).

The unit's MAC addresses are shown in the middle of the panel. The MAC address used on the LAN cannot be changed; the MAC address of the WAN port is fixed unless changed through the Basic Setup menu's Broadband Router panel.

The IP address used by the Wireless Gateway on the LAN is also fixed unless changed through the Basic Setup menu's Broadband Router panel.

Up Time is the amount of time that has passedsince the Wireless Gateway was last turned on. This item changes each time you refresh the display.

Current Time works only if a manager console, that is, a computer running Manager Server, is running on the network and the Wireless Gateway is set up to work with it. See “Advanced Settings — Manager Console,” earlier in this guide, for details.
