Figure 11:  Internet Status

The following items are displayed in this section:

Internet Source

 — The Ethernet port connected to the Internet. By default, 

this is Ethernet Port 0.

Ports bridged to Internet

 — Additional interfaces attached directly to the 

Internet. (See Configure Settings – 

“Step 3” on page 16

 for a more detailed 

description.)

IP Address

 — IP address of the Internet connection.

Gateway

 — IP address of the gateway router used to pass traffic between this 

device and other network segments.

DNS

 — The IP address of the Domain Name Server on the network. A DNS 

maps numerical IP addresses to domain names and can be used to identify 
network hosts by familiar names instead of the IP addresses.

Hotspot Status

 — Shows if the hotspot is enabled or disabled, and the ports 

on which this service is enabled.

Options

 — Includes showing the ARP cache, showing DHCP leases, or 

renewing DHCP leases.
