The icons in the upper right corner of WebAdmin provide access to the following functions:

User name/IP: Displays the user currently logged in and the IP address from which WebAdmin is accessed. If any other users are currently logged in, their details will also be displayed.
Open Live Log: Clicking this button opens the live log associated with the active WebAdmin menu or tab. To open another live log without switching to another menu or tab, hover the mouse pointer over the live log button. After a few seconds, a list of available live protocols opens from which you can select the live protocol to be displayed. Your selection will be retained as long as you are in the same menu or tab of the WebAdmin.

Tip - You can also open live logs using the Open Live Log buttons found on many WebAdmin pages.
Online help: Each menu, sub-menu and tab has context-sensitive online help that provides information and instructions about the WebAdmin page that is open.

Note - The online help is version-based and is updated using patterns. If you upgrade to a new firmware version, your online help may also be updated.
Reload current page: Always click the Refresh button to refresh the WebAdmin page that is already displayed.

Note - Never use the browser's refresh function as this will log you out ofWebAdmin.
