date and time.

System Resource

- CPU Usage

This displays what percentage of the NBG420N’s processing ability is currently used. 

When this percentage is close to 100%, the NBG420N is running at full load, and the 

throughput is not going to improve anymore. If you want some applications to have 

more throughput, you should turn off other applications (for example, using 

bandwidth management).

- Memory Usage

This shows what percentage of the heap memory the NBG420N is using. Heap 

memory refers to the memory that is not used by ZyNOS (ZyXEL Network Operating 

System) and is thus available for running processes like NAT and the firewall.
