- CPU Usage

This displays what percentage of the NBG-460N’s processing ability is

 

currently used. When this percentage is close to 100%, the NBG-460N 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 bandwidth management.

 

 

- Memory Usage

This shows what percentage of the heap memory the NBG-460N is using.

 

Heap memory refers to the memory that is not used by ZyNOS (ZyXEL

 

Network Operating System) and is thus available for running processes

 

like NAT and the firewall.

 

 

System Setting

 

 

 

- Firewall

This shows whether the firewall is active or not.

 

 

- Bandwidth

This shows whether the bandwidth management is active or not.

Management

 

 

 

- UPnP

- Configuration Mode

This shows whether the advanced screens of each feature are turned on

 

(Advanced) or not (Basic).

 

 

Interface Status

 

 

 

Interface

This displays the NBG-460N port types. The port types are: WAN, LAN

 

and WLAN.

 

 

Status

For the LAN and WAN ports, this field displays Down (line is down) or Up

 

(line is up or connected).

 

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

 

the WLAN is disabled.

 

 

Rate

For the LAN ports, this displays the port speed and duplex setting or N/A

 

when the line is disconnected.

 

For the WAN port, it displays the port speed and duplex setting if you’re

 

using Ethernet encapsulation and Idle (line (ppp) idle), Dial (starting to

 

trigger a call) and Drop (dropping a call) if you're using PPPoE or PPTP

 

encapsulation. This field displays N/A when the line is disconnected.

 

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

 

is enabled and N/A when the WLAN is disabled.
