Hi Carl,

 

Thanks for th ereply. I removed the IP addresses deliberately as well as the MAC address. The unit has been on for quite a while and probably looped the counter for the uptime. It is likely that the system uptime is stored as a signed integer, however, due to the lenghtly uptime now overflows to the negative.

 

Best to update the system firmware to have this as an unsigned integer.
