  • Page 114 Management and Diagnostic Console To manually set the time and date: Check the checkbox. Enable In the Time field, enter the time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format (for example, 10:02:11). In the Date field, enter the date in YYYY/MM/DD format (for example, 2006/10/09). From the Time Zone pull-down menu, select the time zone.

    If the feature is not enabled, an error message will display when you click the link to access this page. The Advanced – Configure Services page allows you to enable the 2Wire gateway to operate in bridged mode, change the timeout settings for NAT, enable notification messages, enable the SIP ALG, and change the upstream maximum transmission rate.
  • Page 116 IMPORTANT: Bridged mode is intended for testing purposes only, as in WT-062 (ADSL), BER (Bit Rate Error), or industry standard performance tests. When routed mode is disabled, the 2Wire gateway can no longer be managed via CMS, and any DSL connection will require an external PPP connection (via software of third-party hardware).

    Management and Diagnostic Console Advanced - Link Manager States Page The Advanced – Link Manager States page is a tree representation of the 2Wire gateway interface stack, and shows the internal state of the 2Wire gateway. Figure 52. MDC Advanced Link Manager States Page The Link Manager States page is used to gather dynamic information on internal networking modules, and is based on the runtime configuration of the 2Wire gateway.

Information displays below the Link Manager States tree, and includes the following: Node Information Description Link status Up. The link is functioning properly. Climbing. The link is attempting to establish a connection. Down.

    Management and Diagnostic Console Advanced - Detailed Log Page The Advanced – Detailed Log page is a debug log facility modeled after syslog, and provides advanced diagnostic capabilities. Figure 53. MDC Advanced Detailed Log Page Note: The Detailed Log retains a persistent (across upgrades and system restarts) record of gateway events.
  • Page 128 Management and Diagnostic Console From the pull-down menus, you can select the level of filtering you want to view (for example, DBG or Filter higher) and the specific gateway component that was affected. Each log displays the following information: • Status level: DBG (debug), INF (informational), NTC (notice), WRN (warning), ERR (error), FTL (fatal), ALR (alarm), or EMR (emergency).

  • Page 132 Glossary IP Address. A numeric identifier for your computer. Just as the post office delivers mail to your home address, servers know to deliver data to your computer based on your IP address. IP addresses can be dynamic, meaning that your computer “borrows” the IP address for the necessary timeframe, or they can be fixed, meaning that the number is permanently assigned to your computer.
  • Page 133 Glossary PPPoA (Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM). A specification for connecting multiple computer users on an Ethernet LAN to a remote site through common customer premises equipment (such as a modem). PPPoA combines the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), commonly used in dialup connections, with the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) protocol, which supports multiple users in a LAN.
