ZyXEL Communications Wireless Gateway Series 201

ZyAIR Wireless Gateway Series User’s Guide

The web site hit count may not be 100% accurate because sometimes when an individual web page loads, it may contain references to other web sites that also get counted as hits.

The ZyAIR records web site hits by counting the HTTP GET packets. Many web sites include HTTP GET references to other web sites and the ZyAIR may count these as hits, thus the web hit count is not (yet) 100% accurate.

Figure 15-3 Reports

Enabling the ZyAIR’s reporting function decreases the overall throughput by

about 1 Mbps.
