ARQLink Management
|
 | | Along the top are three links.
- Home: By selecting this link the page will go back to the main log-in page.
- Sections: This is a quick link list to each of the sections available for a server reporting to ARQLink.
- Logout: Enables you to log out of the ARQLink account.
|
 | | The Sections drop down enables you to quick link to any of the sections available for the server. These sections report system information and current settings.
|
| | The side expanding bar lists all the devices reporting to the ARQLink account. Servers and iQ systems are configured to report to ARQLink and additional devices can also port on ARQLink manually as long as there is a server on the same local network to which the WAN IP can link.
|
 | | The Connect button is available to have a quick link to access the web server of the media server remotely. To use this option, the web port must be forwarded in the router.
|
 | | The Show Settings button is available to have a quick link to access the Settings section of the web server remotely. To use this option, the web port must be forwarded in the router.
|
 | | When you click on the unit name there is a Graphs section that charts the heat levels of the hard drive and CPU. The goal is to be in the green and avoid the red. The lower Graphs chart the capacity used and free for the media partition, firmware partition and hard drive as a whole. If the blue is at 90%, it is recommended to pursue a hard drive upgrade and the additon of a NAS device.
|
 | | The first details section below the graphs include System Information for the server:
