Q09: Are there any rules to follow when setting up administration policies?

When setting up policies, administrators need to follow [small to big] principle. This means that when the source address, destination address and service items of a policy is the subset of another policy, it is necessary to set policy of the subset first. For example, the sequence to set policies for individual worker, department, and every worker in the company is:

Individual → Department→Every worker

If subset policies are defined after the main policies, policies defined by the subset became invalid. For example, the new policy is:

Every worker → Department→ Individual

The policies of departments and individuals are subsets of policies of every worker, so policies defined by the latter two are invalid.

Q08: Can Admin modify the LAN and WAN interface IP addresses anytime?

No, because the names in the address table are set according to the IP addresses of LAN and WAN interface cards, and the source address and destination address of policies are set according to address table. The IP addresses of the Bandwidth Management’s LAN interface and WAN interface are foundations of administration policies. If the administrator wants to change the Bandwidth Management’s IP address, the admin will need to clean up all the administration policies and address table.

Q07: Why can’t users of WAN networks still store data into virtual server when virtual server or IP mapping has been set successfully?

In order to open a virtual server to WAN networks, Administrator needs to make sure, in the Incoming menu, there is a policy of source address pointing to WAN IP address, destination address to the virtual server or Mapped IP and with permission to allow inward packets to pass through.

Q06: In the Outgoing menu, I set the source address to “Inside-Any”, the destination address to “Outside-any”, the service to HTTP, and the action to Permit. Why do the computers of the LAN network still cannot access the Internet?

Usually the DNS of the clients point to the DNS server outside of the Bandwidth Management. When converting a URL to IP address, the browser sends out DNS service packet to the external DNS server. If the Bandwidth Management doesn’t allow DNS service packet to pass, the URL cannot be mapped to the IP address and the connection fails.

Q05: How to install the Bandwidth Management for the first time?

There are six steps to setup for the first time:

Step 1: First connect the administrator’s PC and the Bandwidth Management’s LAN interface card to the same HUB or Switch, change PC’s IP address to: 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254. Then restart the computer to activate new IP address. Run Browser and enter http://192.168.1.1 in URL field to access Bandwidth Management WebUI.

Step 2: Browser will ask or the user’s name and password enter ‘admin’ and password.

Step 3: Then WebUI will request the user to change password. Change it and record the new password. The user name is still ‘admin’.

Step 4: Set new LAN IP Address (enterprise’s private IP address) and WAN IP Address (allocated by ISP provider).

Step 5: If the new LAN IP Address doesn’t belong to 192.168.1.0 network, such as 172.16.0.1, the administrator needs to change PC’s IP address to 172.16.0.1,or other IP address of the same network and restart the computer to activate new IP address. After the new IP address is activated, use browser to access http://172.16.0.1.

Step 6: Enter the main window of administration policies under WebUI; click New Entry to display Add New Policy window, and then click OK to complete the installation process.

Q04: What are the default settings of the Bandwidth Management?

The Bandwidth Management has three main default settings; users need to modify them to fit their environment to achieve optimum performance.

1. The system administrator’s name and password are both ‘admin’ (lower case). The name “admin” can’t be changed, and the password should be modified and recorded at the time of installation.

2. The LAN Interface IP address is set to 192.168.1.1 in the factory. The system administrator needs to change it to private IP address of the enterprise’s LAN networks. Then set IP addresses of WAN interface according to the real IP addresses allocated by ISP.

3. LAN network and WAN network can’t communicate to each other by default. So computers in the LAN network can’t access any Internet address when users connect the Bandwidth Management to LAN and WAN network. System administrator has to define policies with proper permissions in Outgoing under the Policy menu, such as to permit certain IP addresses in the LAN network to access some web addresses.

Q03: What is the difference in privileges of admin and sub admin?

The Bandwidth Management sets the system administrator’s name and password to admin. When the administrator sets up the system the first time, the installation wizard asks administrators to change the password for admin (user name ‘admin’ can not be changed). In the admin menu under Admin, the admin may add or change the name and password of sub admin. The administrator can change the Bandwidth Management’s system parameters when logged into the Bandwidth Management as “admin”. The “sub admin” can only browse the system configuration and have no privileges to modify it. Therefore, admin has ‘read’ and ‘write’ privileges, but sub admin has only ‘read’ privilege.

Q02: How to back up system configuration?

To change system parameters settings without destroying the original system configuration, the user can choose Export System Settings to Client in Settings under the System menu. Users can upload the backup system configuration from hard disk to the Bandwidth Management in Import System Setting from Client.

Q01: How to upgrade the Bandwidth Management’s software?

The Bandwidth Management’s software and system parameters are all stored in the Flash Memory. The Flash Memory is re-writable and re-readable. Users can visit EUSSO web site to obtain the newest version of software.

After having the newest version of software, please store it in the hard disk, then connect to the Bandwidth management’s WebUI, enter Software Update of the System menu, click the file name of the newest version of software, and then click Ok. The updating process won’t overwrite the system configuration, so it is not necessary to save it before updating the software.
