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

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).
