DESCRIPTION

 

Firewall

This displays whether or not the ZyXEL Device’s firewall is activated. Click this to

 

 

go to the screen where you can change it.

 

 

 

 

Content Filter

This displays whether or not the ZyXEL Device’s content filtering is activated. Click

 

 

this to go to the screen where you can change it.

 

 

 

 

System Status

 

 

 

 

 

System

This field displays how long the ZyXEL Device has been running since it last

 

Uptime

started up. The ZyXEL Device starts up when you plug it in, when you restart it

 

 

(Maintenance > Tools > Restart), or when you reset it.

 

 

 

 

Current Date/

This field displays the current date and time in the ZyXEL Device. You can change

 

Time

this in Maintenance > System > Time Setting.

 

 

 

 

System Mode

This displays whether the ZyXEL Device is functioning as a router or a bridge.

 

 

 

 

CPU Usage

This field displays what percentage of the ZyXEL Device’s processing ability is

 

 

currently used. When this percentage is close to 100%, the ZyXEL Device is

 

 

running at full load, and the throughput is not going to improve anymore. If you

 

 

want some applications to have more throughput, you should turn off other

 

 

applications (for example, using QoS; see Chapter 15 on page 227).

 

 

 

 

Memory

This field displays what percentage of the ZyXEL Device’s memory is currently

 

Usage

used. Usually, this percentage should not increase much. If memory usage does

 

 

get close to 100%, the ZyXEL Device is probably becoming unstable, and you

 

 

should restart the device. See Section 21.4 on page 299, or turn off the device

 

 

(unplug the power) for a few seconds.

 

 

 

 

Interface Status

 

 

 

 

 

Interface

This column displays each interface the ZyXEL Device has.

 

 

 

 

Status

This field indicates whether or not the ZyXEL Device is using the interface.

 

 

For the DSL interface, this field displays Down (line is down), Up (line is up or

 

 

connected) if you're using Ethernet encapsulation and Down (line is down), Up

 

 

(line is up or connected), Idle (line (ppp) idle), Dial (starting to trigger a call) and

 

 

Drop (dropping a call) if you're using PPPoE encapsulation.

 

 

For the LAN interface, this field displays Up when the ZyXEL Device is using the

 

 

interface and Down when the ZyXEL Device is not using the interface.

 

 

For the WLAN interface, it displays Active when WLAN is enabled or InActive

 

 

when WLAN is disabled.

 

 

 

 

Rate

For the LAN interface, this displays the port speed and duplex setting.

 

 

For the DSL interface, it displays the downstream and upstream transmission rate.

 

 

For the WLAN interface, it displays the maximum transmission rate when WLAN is

 

 

enabled or N/A when WLAN is disabled.
