OPERATING FREQUENCY
When using multiple units, it is important that each pair of wireless cells that overlap be set to operate on a different
channel. This helps to eliminate crosstalk and increase performance. For information on selecting operating
frequencies, refer to Configuring Overlapping Wireless Cells on page 72.
NETWORK BANDWIDTH CONTROL
These parameters enable you to limit the flow of data traffic through the LPS-20x by controlling the outgoing
bandwidth allocated to each port.
1. On the Network menu, click Bandwidth control.
OUTGOING TRAFFIC THROTTLE PARAMETERS
These parameters enable you to limit the data traffic through the LPS-20x by controlling the outgoing bandwidth
allocated to each port. Note that the LPS-212 is shown, but the LPS-20x screen is identical to the LPS-212.
• If outgoing traffic arrives at the port at the defined bandwidth limit (or less), it is processed without delay.
• If outgoing traffic arrives at the port at a rate that is greater than the defined bandwidth limit, it causes the
LPS-20x to throttle the traffic for that port.
• If the traffic rate is over-limit for just a short burst, the data will be queued and forwarded without loss. If
the traffic rate is over-limit for sustained period, the LPS-20x will drop data to bring the rate down to the
bandwidth limit that is set.
Examples:
• If you want to limit the traffic that wireless client stations can download from the Internet to 500 kbps, set a
value of 500 for the wireless port.
• If you want to limit the traffic that LAN client stations can download from the Internet to 1000 kbps, set a
value of 1000 for the LAN port.
• If you want to limit the traffic that wireless and LAN client stations can upload to the Internet to 800 kbps,
set a value of 800 for the Internets port.
These are aggregate values per port and not per user values.
