Firmware Version This is the ZyNOS Firmware version and the date created. ZyNOS is ZyXEL's
proprietary Network Operating System design.
Device Mode This displays whether the ZyWALL is functioning as a router or a bridge.
Firewall This displays whether or not the ZyWALL’s firewall is activated.
System Time This field displays your ZyWALL’s present date and time along with the difference
from the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) zone. The difference from GMT is based on
the time zone. It is also adjusted for Daylight Saving Time if you set the ZywALL to
use it.
Memory The first number shows how many kilobytes of the heap memory the ZyWALL is
using. Heap memory refers to the memory that is not used by ZyNOS (ZyXEL
Network Operating System) and is thus available for running processes like NAT,
VPN and the firewall.
The second number shows the ZyWALL's total heap memory (in kilobytes).
The bar displays what percent of the ZyWALL's heap memory is in use. The bar
turns from green to red when the maximum is being approached.
Sessions The first number shows how many sessions are currently open on the ZyWALL.
This includes all sessions that are currently:
• Traversing the ZyWALL
• Terminating at the ZyWALL
• Initiated from the ZyWALL
The second number is the maximum number of sessions that can be open at one
time.
The bar displays what percent of the maximum number of sessions is in use. The
bar turns from green to red when the maximum is being approached.
