Understanding the Web Management Interface Screens

The left side of the management interface contains a menu bar for you to configure the Gateway. When

you click a menu, information and any configuration settings associated with the menu appear in the

workspace (see Figure 13). If the displayed information exceeds what can be shown in the workspace,

scroll bars appear to the right of the workspace so you can scroll up and down through the information.

The top of the workspace shows the path (or “breadcrumbs”) associated with the information displayed

in the workspace. For example, if you click the

Gateway

menu,

Gateway > At a Glance

appears at the

top of the workspace.

The top-right area shows links for changing the login password and logging out of your current session.

Below the links are status icons that show the:



Gateway’s Internet access



Status of the Gateway’s wireless connection

Moving the mouse over the

Internet

,

Wireless

, and

level icons displays additional

information. For example, hovering your mouse pointer over

Internet

displays the number of active

computers connected to the Gateway (see Figure 12).
