Table 5 Status Screen

 

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

Status

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

 

 

interface.

 

 

For the LAN interfaces or the Ethernet WAN interface, this field displays

 

 

Up when the ZyXEL Device is using the interface and NoLink when the

 

 

line is disconnected.

 

 

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

 

 

InActive when WLAN is disabled.

 

 

For the DSL interface, this field displays NoLink (line is down), Up (line

 

 

is up or connected) if you're using Ethernet encapsulation and NoLink

 

 

(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.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

System Status

 

 

 

 

 

System Up

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

 

Time

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

 

 

you restart it (Maintenance > Reboot), or when you reset it.

 

 

 

 

Current

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

 

Date/Time

can change this in Maintenance> Time Setting.

 

 

 

 

System Resource

 

 

 

 

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 10 on page 151).

 

 

 

 

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 32.2

 

 

on page 301, or turn off the device (unplug the power) for a few

 

 

seconds.
