Bandwidth Limiting

This converter supports both ingress (UTP to Fiber) and egress (Fiber to UTP) bandwidth control in

granularities of 32K or 512K. This provides a very flexible and controllable bandwidth usage through the media

converter. The default setting is with no limiting.

The above is an example of setting a 2Mbit bandwidth limit for both ingress and egress.

Note: Beginning with firmware version 1.240 in the 10/100i, whenever forced mode or bandwidth control are

enabled, the flow control (802.3X) is disabled automatically on the fiber to avoid a traffic block caused by hanging

of the IP113S switch chip in the 10/100i. Since this version, we recommend setting bandwidth at both local and

remote converters and by adjusting Ingress only. The following example is a 2M download, 1M upload

configuration. The local side set 2Mbps Ingress and the remote side set 1Mbps Ingress rate limits.
