Monitoring ADSL, Wireless, and
Ethernet Status
How should I use the ADSL, Wireless, and
Ethernet Status Reports?
These reports are useful tools for evaluating your system and for
troubleshooting. Should a problem arise, a Technical Support
Representative may ask you for the information that is contained in
the reports.
Wireless Status Report
Here is a picture of a typical
Wireless Status
Report:
The
Wireless Status
Report
shows you the modem speed (Link
Speed), the SSID, your default channel, the Mac Address of the
modem, and the number of packets that are being received and
transmitted (Rx and Tx Packets). You can also tell if your modem
has wireless encryption enabled. (To encrypt your information,
click the
Wireless
icon in the
Zoom Configuration Manager
).

The
ADSL Line State
tells you where your modem is in the
connection process. The three states are
Training, Handshake
,
and
ShowTime
. A line state of ShowTime shows that your
modem has established a physical connection to the DSLAM (DSL
Access Multiplexer – a device used in the process of connecting
your computers, and/or network to the Internet). Training is at the
beginning of the connection and Handshake is right after Training.
The
Downstream
and
Upstream
values tell you the speed at
which information is being downloaded from the Internet
(Downstream) and uploaded to the Internet (Upstream).
