54M Wireless AP Client Router User Guide

 

- 56 - 

For example

, we assume that the 

UpLoad Bandwidth

 and

 DownLoad Bandwidth

 supplied by 

ISP are 10Mbps respectively. If you desire 

highest

 priority to port 1, lower priority (take 

2

 level for 

example) to port 2 and 

lowest

 priority to wireless communication, you can configure the router as 

Figure 5-52

 

shown. 

)

 

Note:

 

1.  In configuring system Bandwidth, there are two unitages provided: "kbps" means 1000 bit/sec; 

"Mbps" means 1000,000 bit/sec.   

2.  You can ask your ISP or network administrator for the actual value of system upload and 

download Bandwidth. If you can't get it, it is recommended strongly that you set a 
conservative value to avoid the configure value overstep the actual value.   

3.  Because a quantum is equal to 32kbps, the port guaranteed bandwidth that you configure is 

always multiples of 32kbps.   

4.  Because the wireless communication will engross good-sized of CPU, we strongly 

recommended that you should choose the lowest priority for wireless to avoid the excessive 
use of CPU.   

5.  For G.729A VoIP, both the recommendatory upload and download guaranteed bandwidth are 

8kbps and the workable quantum is 1; For H.264 video, both the recommendatory upload 
and download guaranteed bandwidth are 64kbps and the workable quantum is 2.   

6.  Be sure to click 

Save

 to save the new settings for the router. 

7.  Wireless configuration is not available at AP Client Router mode. 

5.13  System Tools 

 

Figure 5-53  The System Tools menu 

There are eight submenus under the System Tools menu (shown in Figure 5-53): 

Time

Factory Defaults, Backup and Restore, Reboot, Password, Log

 and 

Statistics. 

Click any of 

them, and you will be able to configure the corresponding function. The detailed explanations for 
each submenu are provided below.
