Rx Bandwidth This parameter defines the gateway's Internet traffic reception
rate. Enter your Rx bandwidth in Kbits per second.
Entering inaccurate Tx/Rx values will cause incorrect behavior of the QoS module. It
is important to set these fields as accurately as possible.
Best QoS results can be achieved when using the SHDSL connection speed for the
Tx/Rx values
QoS Profiles Select the profile that mostly suits your bandwidth usage. Each pro-
file entry displays a quote describing what the profile is best used for, and the QoS
priority levels granted to each bandwidth consumer in this profile.
Default – No QoS preferences, however the device is limited by the requested
bandwidth, if specified. Queuing policy will be based on the pre-defined priority
levels defined in the DSCP and 802.1q settings.
P2P User – Peer-to-peer and file sharing applications will receive priority.
Triple Play User – VoIP and video streaming will receive priority.
Home Worker – VPN and browsing will receive priority.
Gamer – Game-related traffic will receive priority.
Priority By Host – This entry provides the option to configure which computer in
your LAN will receive the highest priority and which the lowest. If you have ad-
ditional computers, they will receive medium priority.
It is easier to configure the Watson QoS by selecting one of the proposed QoS pro-
files and then to modify the settings to fit your needs, than to start with the default pro-
file.
High Priority Host Enter the host name or IP address of the computer to which
you would like to grant the highest bandwidth priority.
Low Priority Host Enter the host name or IP address of the computer to which
you would like to grant the lowest bandwidth priority.
8.3.2 Internet Connection Utilization
The 'Internet Connection Utilization' screen provides application level usage infor-
mation of your Internet connection's bandwidth. You can view what application on
which LAN computer is using how much bandwidth, at any given time. This infor-
mation is provided in both application and computer views.
