System Time This field displays your LAN-Cell’s present date (in yyyy-mm-dd format) and time
(in hh:mm:ss format) 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 LAN-Cell to use it. Click the field
label to go to the screen where you can modify the LAN-Cell’s date and time
settings.
Firewall This displays whether or not the LAN-Cell’s firewall is activated. Click the field
label to go to the screen where you can turn the firewall on or off.
System Resources
Flash The first number shows how many megabytes of the flash the LAN-Cell is using.
Memory The first number shows how many megabytes of the heap memory the LAN-Cell
is using. Heap memory refers to the memory that is not used by ProxiOS and is
thus available for running processes like NAT, VPN and the firewall.
The second number shows the LAN-Cell's total heap memory (in megabytes).
The bar displays what percent of the LAN-Cell'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 LAN-Cell.
This includes all sessions that are currently traversing the LAN-Cell, terminating
at the LAN-Cell or Initiated from the LAN-Cell
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.
CPU This field displays what percentage of the LAN-Cell’s processing ability is
currently used. When this percentage is close to 100%, the LAN-Cell is running at
full load, and the throughput is not going to improve anymore. If you want some
applications to have more throughput, you should turn off other applications (for
example, using bandwidth management.
Interfaces This is the port type.
Click "+" to expand or "-" to collapse the IP alias drop-down lists.
Hold your cursor over an interface’s label to display the interface’s MAC Address.
Click an interface’s label to go to the screen where you can configure settings for
that interface.
Status For the LAN, DMZ and WLAN ports, this displays the port speed and duplex
setting. Ethernet port connections can be in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. Full-
duplex refers to a device's ability to send and receive simultaneously, while half-
duplex indicates that traffic can flow in only one direction at a time. The Ethernet
port must use the same speed or duplex mode setting as the peer Ethernet port in
order to connect.
For the WAN interface(s) and the Dial Backup port, it displays the port speed and
duplex setting if you’re using Ethernet encapsulation or the remote node name
(configured through the SMT) for a PPP connection and Down (line is down or
not connected), Idle (line (ppp) idle), Dial (starting to trigger a call) or Drop
(dropping a call) if you’re using PPPoE encapsulation.
IP/Netmask This shows the port’s IP address and subnet mask.
