Resource Information
The “Resource Information” function shows the memory usage and CPU allocation at the
current time.
The above display shows 72% of the virtual disk memory used, 52% of the Journaling
File System (user) memory used and 95% of the static RAM memory used. The Linux
operating system uses as much of the free static RAM as possible so this number is
usually very high. As more RAM is needed for other applications, Linux will
dynamically re-allocate the memory to make more RAM available for the application.
The CPU usage is usually low because there are no processes utilizing the processors
time while in the menu mode.
Ping Server
The “Ping Server” function is a very powerful tool to test connectivity through the
wireless RF network.
When the “Ping Server” function is selected, the dialog box includes a section to type an
IP address on the bottom. Once a valid IP address is typed hit [ENTER] to start the
“pinging” process. Press the [ESC] key when finished.
