this wireless network.

 

 

 

 

System Status

 

 

 

 

 

System

This field displays how long the P-870HN-51D has been running since it

 

Uptime

last started up. The P-870HN-51D starts up when you plug it in, when

Mode

bridge.

 

 

 

 

CPU Usage

This field displays what percentage of the P-870HN-51D’s processing

 

 

ability is currently used. When this percentage is close to 100%, the P-

 

 

870HN-51D 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 14 on page 169).

 

 

 

 

Memory

This field displays what percentage of the P-870HN-51D’s memory is

 

Usage

currently used. Usually, this percentage should not increase much. If

 

 

memory usage does get close to 100%, the P-870HN-51D is probably

Status

This field indicates whether or not the P-870HN-51D is using the

 

 

interface.

 

 

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

For the LAN or Ethernet WAN interface, this field displays Up when the

 

 

P-870HN-51D is using the interface and NoLink when the line is

 

 

disconnected.

 

 

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

 

 

Disabled when WLAN is not active.
