3.2 Status Box
The Status Box, at the top right corner of the Configuration window, displays interface status and
basic statistics, and is visible across all tabs.
The Status Box displays the status of the LAN A and LAN B Ethernet interfaces. During normal
operation, the speed and duplex state of the interface are displayed in green. If the interface is
unplugged or fails to negotiate an Ethernet connection, “
DOWN
” is displayed in red.
When emulation is turned on, the Status Box displays the current instantaneous throughput in
each direction, averaged over 1 second intervals, and the total number of dropped frames. More
detailed statistics and throughput graphs are shown in the Linktropy Monitor.

The Emulation On/Off Button displays and controls the state of the currently selected link. The
button is gray when emulation is off and green when emulation is on. Click the button to toggle
between on and off.
Emulation is turned off by default when the Linktropy WAN emulator is first installed.
