Embedded Web Server

There is no specialized software to install on your PC to configure, manage, or maintain
your Netopia Gateway. Web pages embedded in the operating system provide access to
the following Gateway operations:

Setup

System and security logs

Diagnostics functions

Once you have removed your Netopia Gateway from its packing container and powered the
unit up, use any LAN attached PC or workstation running a common web browser applica-
tion to configure and monitor the Gateway.

Diagnostics

In addition to the Gateway’s visual LED indicator lights, you can run an extensive set of
diagnostic tools from your Web browser.

Two of the facilities are:

Automated “Multi-Layer” Test

The

Run Diagnostics

link initiates a sequence of tests. They examine the entire

functionality of the Gateway, from the physical connections to the data traffic.

Network Test Tools

Three test tools to determine network reachability are available:

Ping - tests the “reachability” of a particular network destination by sending an ICMP
echo request and waiting for a reply.

NSLookup - converts a domain name to its IP address and vice versa.
