Many of the internal messages generated by the devices are converted to
plain text, thereby helping you to troubleshoot.
You can also use LANmonitor to monitor the traffic on the router's various
interfaces to collect important information on the settings you can use to opti-
mize data traffic.
In addition to the device statistics that can also be read out during a Telnet or
terminal session or using WEBconfig, a variety of other useful functions are
also available in the LANmonitor, such as the enabling of an additional charge

router via the serial interface.
