System Reports
The System Reports menu presents data that may be useful in identifying WAN
communication problems.
Events
The Events listing offers on-going historical activity for the Router, while the
Alarm listing indicates events that suggest further investigation. See Events on
page 9-2 for more information regarding this feature.
Alarms
This screen provides a listing of any Alarms that have occurred on the Router.
When an Alarm is triggered, the Router LED (labeled CRD) will display a red
indicator light, which will stay on until the Alarm is cleared. Each Alarm is listed
separately and the Count field will display a value of 1. See Alarms on page 9-4 for
more information regarding this feature.
Network/Servers
By sending out IPX and IP RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and IPX SAP
(Service Advertising Protocol) packets and monitoring RIP and SAP packets from
other devices, the Router will learn about other servers and networks. The Router
will constantly monitor RIP and SAP packets to ensure that the status of the
network or server has changed. Should a RIP or SAP packet indicate a change in
status, the Router would update the data in the table and send the information to all
enabled remotes to exchange the updated data. See Networks/Servers on page 9-6
for more information regarding this feature.
Address Tables
The MAC Address and IP Address Tables, along with Network Tables are used to
determine if and where the Router should send packets. See Address Tables on
page 9-9 for more information regarding this feature.
