Viewing Port Statuses

You can view the status of the ZoneAlarm router's ports on the Ports page, including each Ethernet connection's duplex state. This is useful if you need to check whether the router's physical connections are working, and you can't see the LEDs on front of the router.

To view port statuses

  1. Click Network in the main menu, and click the Ports tab.

    The Ports page appears.

    The page displays the information for each port, as described in the following table.

  2. To refresh the display, click Refresh.

Ports Fields

Displays…

Assign To

The port's current assignment.

For example, if the LAN1 port is not assigned to a network, the field displays "None".

Status

The port's current status. This can be any of the following:

  • The detected link speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) and duplex (Full Duplex or Half Duplex)
  • No Link. The router does not detect anything connected to the port.
  • Disabled. The port is disabled. For example, the LAN1 port's status will be "Disabled" if the port is assigned to "None".
  • Connected (number). Printers are connected to the USB ports. The number of connected printers appears in parentheses.
    This status is relevant for the USB ports only.
  • Not Connected. No printers are connected to the USB ports.
    This status is relevant for the USB ports only.
