The NetEqualizer Dashboard
At the heart of the NetEqualizer system is the Dashboard. The NetEqualizer Dashboard
provides an intuitive visual display of the status on critical data and settings within
NetEqualizer. Think of the Dashboard as your command and control center for managing
your NetEqualizer. On the picture below, the key elements that make up the Dashboard are
labeled: Status Indicators, Navigation Menu, Common Tasks, and NetEqualizer Menus.
The Dashboard contains
Status Indicators
, visually displaying on/off status on key
functions: Equalizing, ntop (deprecated 8.1), Quotas, Packet Capture, and Caching. It also
contains statistics about traffic levels running through your NetEqualizer. You can look at
traffic for the entire network (Pool 0), as well as levels for Bandwidth Up and Bandwidth
Down, and determine whether Ratio is being exceeded.
The
Navigation Menu
helps you to quickly and easily get back to the Dashboard from
anywhere in the system. You can also reference material from our website (Our Home), our
blog (Our Blog) or access online help (Help).
Common Tasks
have been added to the Dashboard. Think of these as shortcuts to areas
within the system that you use frequently. From here you can Run Diagnostics, View
Current Activity, View the NetEqualizer Log File, Show the Current Configuration,
Stop/Restart Equalizing, or run Dynamic Real-Time Reporting.
The four (4)
NetEqualizer Menus
available are: 1) Setup and Configuration, 2)
Management and Reporting, 3) Troubleshooting and Support, and 4) Maintenance and
Reference. We will discuss the features available via these menus in this User Guide.
