Overruns
Displays the number of frames that were discarded by the 833IS LAN adapter
because of a receive overrun state. This condition indicates that the 833IS has
received such a large burst of traffic that it is temporarily out of free internal
resources. This number should be zero, or very small in proportion to the LAN #
frames RX. If this number is large there is a problem on the existing network that is
causing excessive broadcasts to be sent.
IP Status IP Frames RX
Displays the number of IP frames received by the 833IS. This should increment on
an IP network as the unit receives IP broadcasts from the network. If this remains at
0, there is likely a problem with the configured settings or you are not running IP
broadcasts (for example, RIPs) on your network.
IP Frames TX
Displays the number of IP frames transmitted by the 833IS. This should increment as
the unit generates and responds to network IP broadcast messages.
# RIP (Routing Information Protocol) Entries
This number will be non-zero if the 833IS has received RIP broadcasts from other
subnetworks.
Address Found by
Displays what mechanism was used to acquire the 833IS IP address. The value will
be BOOTP, RARP, Configured, or None. If None is displayed, it indicates that the
833IS could not acquire an IP address or the IP protocol is not used. If you were
using an Address server and Default is displayed, check the setup of the Address
server.
IP Address
Displays the IP address used by the 833IS.
IP Subnet Mask
Displays the configured IP subnet mask.
