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
Custom security level
Moving the mouse over the
Internet
,
Wireless
, and
Security
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).
