DESCRIPTION

 

System

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

 

Uptime

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

 

 

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

 

 

(see Section 1.6 on page 22).

 

 

 

 

Current

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

 

Date/Time

can change this in Maintenance > System > Time Setting.

 

 

 

 

System

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

 

Mode

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 11 on page 129).

 

 

 

 

Memory

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

 

Usage

currently 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 17.4

 

 

on page 178, 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 NoSignal (line is down) or Up

 

 

(line is up or connected).

 

 

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

 

 

using the interface and Disabled when the ZyXEL Device is not using

 

 

the interface.

 

 

For the WLAN interface, it displays Up when WLAN is enabled or

 

 

Disabled when WLAN is not active.

 

 

 

 

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.
