Your Home Network Map

When you log into the Web-based management you will see the Network Map (see figure 11.176).

Figure 4.2: The Network Map

The network map depicts the various network elements from top going down:

1. External network interface (Internet connection)
2. Firewall
3. OpenRG (Gateway)
4. Internal network interface (Ethernet, USB, Wireless, etc.)
5. Local network computers and peripherals

The following table explains the meaning of different network map symbols:

	Represents the Internet
	Represents your DSL Wide Area Network (WAN) connection. Click this icon to configure the WAN interface (see section 5).
	Represents your Ethernet Wide Area Network (WAN) connection. Click this icon to configure the WAN interface (see section 5).
	Represents the gateway's Firewall. The height of the wall corresponds to the security level currently selected: Minimum, Typical or Maximum. Click this icon to configure security settings (see chapter 6).

If OpenRG is equipped with multiple LAN devices (other than bridges) then the home network will use the following icons to indicate the interface used for connecting the PC.

	Represents an Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) connection. Click this icon to configure network parameters for the Ethernet LAN device (see section 5).
	Represents a USB LAN connection. Click this icon to configure network parameters for the USB LAN device (see section 5).
	Represents a Wireless LAN connection. Click this icon to configure network parameters for the Wireless LAN device (see section 5).
	Represents a bridge connected in the home network. Click this icon to view the bridge's underlying devices.
	Represents a computer (host) connected in the home network. Each computer connected to the network appears below the network symbol of the network through which it is connected. Click an icon to view network information for the corresponding computer (see figure 4.3).
	Represents a printer that is connected to OpenRG and is shared by network users. Click the icon to view the printer's settings.
	Represents a file server that is connected to OpenRG and is shared by network users. Click the icon to view the file server configuration.
