System Summary on the device provides a fast way for one to look at all of the essential system related information. System Summary is the detail pane which displays general information about your computer and its operating system. A user can view information about the operating system name, version, manufacturer, and directory location. You can also verify the version of the BIOS or EFI, the processor type, and memory information. This page is often used for troubleshooting purposes in order to verify IP and MAC addresses, LAN and WAN connections, and also DHCP server details.
• RV220W
• RV120W
• v1.0.4.17
Step 1. Log in to the web configuration utility and choose Status > System Summary. The System Summary page opens:
Step 2. Click Edit if available, next to the fields to make changes as desired.
The following information is displayed under the System Summary area:
• Host Name — Displays the host name assigned to the device.
• Software Version — Displays the software release the device currently runs.
• Firmware MD5 Checksum — Displays the Message Digest5 (MD5) check sum of the current firmware. This checksum is the hash value that is created after the firmware upgrade finishes. This is created to check with the checksum hash value provided by the website from which the firmware was downloaded. If the hash values match, it means that the firmware was downloaded successfully.
• PID VID — Displays the product identifier (PID) and version identifier (VID) of the access point.
• Serial Number — Displays the serial number of the access point.
Note: The MD5 number is used to verify the integrity of the firmware.
The following information is displayed under the LAN (Local Area Network) Information area:
• MAC Address — Displays the hardware address of the device.
• IPv4 Address — Displays the address and subnet mask of the device.
• IPv6 Address — Displays the address and subnet mask of the device (shown only if IPv6 is enabled).
• DHCP Server — Displays whether the DHCP server is enabled or not. If enabled, DHCP client machines connected to the LAN port receive their IP Address dynamically.
• DHCP Relay — Displays whether the device acts as a DHCP relay (DHCP relaying must be enabled for this to work).
• DHCPv6 Server — Displays whehter the DHCPv6 server is enabled or disabled. If enabled, DHCPv6 client machines connected to the LAN port receive their IP address dynamically.
The ProtectLink License Info area contains licensing information for Cisco ProtectLink web.
Step 3. To enable the Cisco ProtectLink use the navigation utility to choose Cisco ProtectLink Web > Web Protection > Web Reputation. The Web Reputation page opens:
Step 4. Check the Web Reputation check box to enable web reputation.
Note: Cisco ProtectLink is a licensed feature, therefore web reputation needs to be turned on before Cisco ProtectLink is enabled.
Step 5. After the Cisco ProtectLink Web is enabled, choose Status > System Summary to go back to the summary page. The System Summary page opens:
The WAN information area provides the current status of different WAN interfaces. It provides details and also provides actions that can be taken on a specific WAN interface. The following information is displayed under the WAN (Internet) Information (IPv4) area:
• MAC Address — Displays the hardware address of the WAN port.
• Connection Time — Displays the time span for which the connection stays up.
• Connection Type — Displays whether the WAN IPv4 address is obtained dynamically through a DHCP server, assigned statically by the user, or obtained through a PPPoE/L2TP Internet Service Provider (ISP) connection.
• Connection State — Displays whether the WAN port is connected to the (ISP).
• DHCP Server — Displays whether the DHCP server is enabled or not. If enabled, DHCP client machines connected to the LAN port receive their IP Address dynamically.
• Lease Obtained — Displays the time at which the lease is obtained from the DHCP server.
• Lease Duration — Displays the duration for which will remain active.
• IP Address — Displays the IP address of the WAN port.
• Subnet Mask — Displays subnet mask for the WAN port.
• Gateway — Displays the gateway IP address of the WAN port.
• Primary DNS Server — Displays the primary DNS server IP address of the WAN port.
• Secondary DNS Server — Displays the secondary DNS server IP address of the WAN port.
• NAT (IPv4 Only Mode) — Displays that if the security appliance is enabled which is in Network Address Translation (NAT) mode or routing mode (disabled).
Step 6. Click Connect to apply the changes made.
Note: Click Renew to release the running IP address and obtain a new one or click Release to release the running IP address only. These need to be configured before user can click Connect to save changes.
The following information is displayed under the WAN (Internet) Information (IPv6) area:
• Connection Time — Displays the time span for which the connection stays up.
• Connection Type — Displays that if the WAN IPv4 address is obtained dynamically through a DHCP server, assigned statically by the user or obtained through a PPPoE/L2TP Internet Service Provider (ISP) connection.
• Connection State — Displays if the WAN port is connected to the (ISP).
• IP Address — Displays the IP address of the WAN port.
• Gateway — Displays the gateway IP address of the WAN port.
• DNS Servers — Displays the DNS server IP address of the WAN port.
Step 7. Click Connect to apply the changes made.
Note: Click Renew to release the running IP address and obtain a new one or click Release to release the running IP address only. These need to be configured before user and can click connect after to save changes.
The following information is displayed under the Wireless Information area:
• Operation Frequency — Displays the operational frequency band for the wireless radio.
• Wireless Network mode — Displays the Wi-Fi mode of the radio (for example, N or N/G).
• Channel — Displays the current channel in use by the radio.
