DESCRIPTION
This field displays the NWA system name. It is used for identification. You
can change this in the System > General screen's Device Name field.
This field displays the current operating mode of the first wireless module
(Access Point, Bridge/Repeater, AP+Bridge, Wireless Client, or
MBSSID). You can change the operating mode in the Wireless >
Wireless Settings screen.
This field displays the current version of the firmware inside the device. It
also shows the date the firmware version was created. You can change
the firmware version by uploading new firmware in Maintenance > F/W
Upload.
This field displays the date and time configured on the NWA. You can
change this in the System > Time Setting screen.
This displays the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the NWA on the
LAN. Every network device has a unique MAC address which identifies it
across the network.
This field displays the current IP address of the NWA on the network.
Subnet masks determine the maximum number of possible hosts on a
network. You can also use subnet masks to divide one network into
multiple sub-networks.
This is the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is a router or switch
on the same network segment as the device's LAN port. The gateway
helps forward packets to their destinations.
This field displays the SSID (Service Set Identifier). This is available only
when the WLAN Operation Mode is Wireless Client.
The channel or frequency used by the NWA to send and receive
information.
This shows the current status of the wireless LAN. This is available only
when the WLAN Operation Mode is Wireless Client.
This displays the security mode the NWA is using.
This field displays the elapsed time since the NWA was turned on.
This field displays what percentage of the NWA's processing ability is
currently being used. The higher the CPU usage, the more likely the NWA
is to slow down.
This field displays what percentage of the NWA's volatile memory is
currently in use. The higher the memory usage, the more likely the NWA
is to slow down. Some memory is required just to start the NWA and to
run the web configurator.
This column displays each interface of the NWA.
This field indicates whether or not the NWA is using the interface.
For each interface, this field displays Up when the NWA is using the
interface and Down when the NWA is not using the interface.
Click this to see which wireless channels are currently in use in the local
area. See Section 15.5 on page
For the LAN port this displays the port speed and duplex setting.
For the WLAN interface, it displays the downstream and upstream
transmission rate or N/A if the interface is not in use.
