Bandwidth Shape:
•Limit Upload/Download speed for every group and leaf class
•Shape Bandwidth by IP address, Subnet, Group, Mac Address and Port
•Ability to apply single or multi-filters for each class
•Prioritize and reserve bandwidth for certain traffic like VoIP and Webcast
Manageable:
•Web Based Management Tool
•Varies Interface: HTTP/HTTPS/Telnet/Serial Console Port
•Compact or Detail Syslog
Network Function:
•DHCP Server
•SNMP
•Remote Syslog
•Utilities: Ping, Trace Route, Tcpdump, NetPerf
Security:
•Admin Configuration with Password

Installation
TBC should be installed between end users and router/ gateway to optimize the
performance and efficiency. This product is a hardware version, so it can be installed on
any traffic you would like to shape. Because TBC is in Bridge Mode, it can shape
bandwidth between different Subnet/IP as well.
TBC has one WAN port, and three LAN port. WAN interface should connect to
router/gateway of DSL, T1, or any internet connection. LAN interface should be
connecting to internal network directly or through a switch/hub.
Steps:
Set your computer's IP Address to 192.168.1.100 with Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (or
any available IP address in the 192.168.1.x subnet). Use a crossover cable to connect the
LAN1 port to your computer's Ethernet port. Connect power adapter to TBC-800.
For more information about configuration and operation, please see Web Configuration
Interface section. Please see the next page for Installation Diagram (Figure 2).

•Enter Subnet Mask: Enter Subnet Mask to grant permission to a whole or part of
subnet. For example: if enter IP: 192.168.1.100 & subnet: 255.255.255.0, any
address at 192.168.1.x network can access this device.
Click Add or Remove to modify the Admin IP access list.
- Password
You can reset password for user admin. You must enter the same password twice for
confirmation. Click Next to Save, then click Commit Changes to permanently apply the
change.
- Configuration Backup
10

You can save the system configuration file which store user ID, password, device IP
address, bandwidth control setting. By clicking Click Here, it will prompt you to save a
tar file as backup.
- Configuration Restore
This section allows the bandwidth controller to restore default factory settings by clicking
Factory Defaults, or to restore from a backup configuration file (the .tar file) to a previous
setting point by clicking From Backup File.
- Firmware Upgrade
This section allows the bandwidth controller firmware to be upgrade or changed. There
are two options to update firmware, update a file direct from a host machine or download
from http or ftp site.
11

•Upload via web browser: Select this option and click Next. Click on the Browse
to select the upgrade firmware file and click Upload file to upgrade.
•Download from http or ftp URL: Select this option to download and upgrade the
firmware from a specific URL.
- Date & Time
•Time Zone: Set the Time Zone
•Current System Date: Set System Date with yyyy/mm/dd format
•Current System Time: Set System Time with hh/mm/ss format
•NTP Enable: Enable or disable Network Time Protocol. NTP is used to
synchronize the time.
•NTP Server: If you enable NTP, bandwidth controller will need a NTP server to
request precise time.
12

Services
- SNMP
•SNMP Agent Enable: Option to enable or disable SNMP support
•Read Only Community: The SNMP Read-only Community string is like a user
id or password that allows access to a router's or other device's statistics.
InterMapper sends the community string along with all SNMP requests. If the
community string is correct, the device responds with the requested information.
If the community string is incorrect, the device simply discards the request and
does not respond.
Factory default setting for the read-only community string is set to "public". It is
standard practice to change all the community strings so that outsiders cannot see
information about the internal network. (In addition, the administrator may also
employ firewalls to block any SNMP traffic to ports 161 and 162 on the internal
network.)
Change this value to have InterMapper use the new string when querying SNMP
devices.
•Read Write Community: allows a remote device to read information from a
device and to modify settings on that device. InterMapper does not use the read-
write community string, since it never attempts to modify any settings on its
devices.
•SNMP Sys Contact: Enter email address to contact support
•SNMP Sys Location: Enter system location
13

- Remote Syslog
•Syslog Remote Enable: Option to enable or disable Remote Syslog
•Syslog Server: Enter remote Syslog server IP address
Bandwidth Control

•Firewall Filter: Options to enable or disable Firewall Filter. If enabled, only
those IP address defined in QoS list can pass through the device.
•Default Upload Rate: Enter Default Maximum Upload Rate
•Default Download Rate: Enter Default Maximum Download Rate
Any traffic is not defined in the bandwidth control list/group will use this default upload
and download rate.
Click Next to save and continue.
