Bandwidth Control 
The bandwidth control in this converter is settable in granules of 32Kbps or 512Kbps. In the user interface we 
define 'Ingress' as traffic flowing from electrical to optical and 'Egress' as flowing from optical to electrical. The 
actual mechanism uses egress with pause flow control at both ports of the switch. Flow control allows reasonable 
bandwidth control of layer 7 applications (FTP, WEB, etc.) without dropping packets. 
The settings for bandwidth control should be refined to follow the below setting suggestions. 
1. Only use the Ingress setting and leave Egress set to unlimited. 
2. For two way bandwidth control, set Ingress rate at CO side and at Remote side individually to attain 2-way 
bandwidth control.
