System Up Time: This displays the length of time in Days, Hours, and Minutes that the Router has been active,
along with the current time.
Configuration
If you need help configuring the router, click the Setup Wizard button. A complete walk-through of the Setup
Wizard is shown in the Wizard Tab section.
Port Statistics
You can check the status of any of the Router’s ports simply by clicking the port number on the port diagram. If
the port is disabled, it will be red; if enabled, it will be black. If it is connected, it will be green.
This will open up a summary table. This summary table will show the port’s settings, such as Type, Link Status
(up or down), Port Disable (on or off), Priority (High or Normal), Speed Status (10Mbps or 100Mbps), Duplex
Status (half or full), Auto negotiation (enable or disable). The statistics table will show the amounts of packets
and bytes received or sent by a port as well as the Port Packet Error Count of the selected port. The LAN ports can
be configured from the LAN Setup page of the LAN Management Tab.
