Chapter 1 Introduction This is a gigabit network traffic monitor device. It can provide the network utilization information of each user in network. You can set a quota limitation or time limitation for each user. If the limitation is met, this device can stop them or send warning message to administrator. For users not in the monitored list, this device can stop them or send warning message to administrator for security. This device will send a report to administrator about network utilization of each user every day by e-mail. Network administrator can use this report to check the network status. If any abnormal network utilization is found, the administrator can check with the user about his/her network operation. Maybe some virus/worm is inside the computer and sending illegal traffic. This is like a network traffic meter to count the network utilization of each user. Because network bandwidth is a resource shared by everyone, the administrator should monitor the network utilization to prevent illegal operation inside the network. This is a solution for such request. Beside network traffic monitor function, QoS function is also supported for each user. Because different users or different applications should have priorities to use network, this device also supports QoS function for each user. 190 users maximum are supported by this device with up to 1000Mbps throughput because of the internal hardware acceleration. The users could be defined by Mac address, IP address, service port or VLAN ID. If the users are defined by VLAN ID, this device can co-work with management switch for some advanced applications. This device provides Web-browser interface for easy management. Telnet, SNMP and console interfaces are also provided. It is easy to install place it between your LAN switch and router and it will do traffic monitoring and QoS job for you after simple configuration. 1.1 Package Contents One Network Traffic Manager device This user manual One AC power Cord One console cable Rack-mount kits and screws 1
