Chapter 23: Managing Bandwidth and
Authentication
This section provides a high-level description of bandwidth and authentication management in a
network. For more specific information, see the Cambium Canopy Prizm Release 3.2 User Guide.
Managing Bandwidth without RADIUS, Prizm, or
BAM
Unless RADIUS, Prizm or BAM is deployed and is configured in the AP, bandwidth management
is limited to applying a single sustained data rate value (for uplink and for downlink) and a single
burst allocation value (for uplink and for downlink) to every SM that registers in the AP.
Bandwidth and Authentication Manager (BAM)
Services and Features
Prizm or BAM enables you to perform the following management operations on SMs:
• Change the key that the SMs need for authenticating.
• Temporarily suspend or reinstate a subscriber.
