Elsa Cable User Manual

The Status menu contains information on the current status and the internal sequences
of operations in the LAN and in the cable network, which can relate to the data
transmission route (e.g. registration with the headend) or to statistics (e.g. number of
data blocks received and transmitted).  The statistics displays are an important aid for
verifying correct operation and optimizing parameter settings.  In addition, they provide
valuable information for error analysis when malfunctions occur.

Most status displays are continually updated and can be deleted with a value or set to
0 in the current menu.
