Figure 37: Status of Network Interfaces

All available network interfaces are listet here, with status information. Wi and 3G/4G only

appear if the required interface hardware is available. Each interface is listed with the common

values of MAC Address, IP Address and Netmask. Further the data Trac on the interface is

listed, separated for transmitted and received. Appended are Errors, all these values counted from

the last reboot or power-on of the Device.
