bandwidth rules and can limit the bandwidth by IP address, MAC address, or IP
segment. Please first enable the Bandwidth Control, then select “Per User Bandwidth
Control” to begin. It is recommended to use this type of bandwidth control for Access
Point and AP Router mode.
Per User Control Options
Description: Enter a description for the bandwidth policy. For example, “VIP”
subscriber
Type: WHA-5500CPE offers 3 types of Per-User Control
IP Address: To limit the bandwidth of one single IP address.
IP Segment: To limit the bandwidth the entire IP segment.
For example; if you enter the address of 192.168.1.20 with subnet mask of
255.255.255.248, the WHA-5500CPE will limit bandwidth of IP addresses
from 192.168.1.17 to 192.168.1.22. Please use an online IP calculate if you
are not familiar with IP segment calculation. Below is an example link:
Because the Ethernet interface is also controlled by the Bandwidth Manager,
it is recommended that devices on the Ethernet side to use a wider IP subnet
mask that will cover the IP range of the controlled IP segment. Therefore,
the devices on Ethernet interface will not be limited by bandwidth control and
still can communicate with the IP segment. For example, if your IP segment
is set to 192.168.1.20 / 255.255.255.248, then the devices on the Ethernet
side should be 192.168.1.X / 255.255.255.0.
MAC address: To limit the bandwidth of one single MAC address.
Port Range: This is available only in WISP router and AP Router mode. It
can limit the bandwidth by application ports.
Application: This option is available only in WISP router and AP Router
mode. It can limit the bandwidth of HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, and eDonkey
traffic.
Downlink Max: Enter the speed you wish to limit the download traffic in kbps
units.
Uplink Max: Enter the speed you wish to limit the upload traffic in kbps units
Example 1: Total Bandwidth Control
In this example, the WHA-5500CPE is in Client Infrastructure mode connecting to a
remote AP. We want to limit the Bandwidth of the link to 2048Kbps download and
512kbps Upload.
