QoS
Enable/Dsable To limit outgoing bandwidth for the QoS
policies in use, select Enable . Otherwise, keep the default,
Dsable .
Upstream Bandwdth
Select the bandwidth to be used
from the drop-down menu . This setting allows you to limit
the outgoing bandwidth for the QoS policies in use, so you
can control how much bandwidth a particular application
is allowed to use .
There are three types of QoS available: Device Priority,
Ethernet Port Priority, and Application Priority .
Device Priority
Devce Name
Enter the name of your network device .
Prorty Select the appropriate priority level .
MAC Address Enter the MAC address of the device .
Ethernet Port Priority
Ethernet Port Priority QoS allows you to prioritize
performance for four of the Router's ports, LAN Ports
1-4 . It does not require support from your ISP because
the prioritized ports are LAN ports going out to your
network .
Prorty For each of these ports, select Hgh or Low .
Flow Control
If you want the Router to control the
transmission of data between network devices, keep the
default, Enable . To disable this feature, select Dsable . The
Router's other four ports will be automatically assigned
low priority .

Incomng Rate Lmt
This feature limits the incoming
bandwidth . To use this feature, select 8M, 4M, M, M,
5K, 56K, or 8K (M stands for Mbps, while K stands
for kbps) . If you do not want to use this feature, keep the
default, Dsable .
Application Priority
Application Priority QoS manages information as it is
transmitted and received . Depending on the settings of
the QoS screen, this feature will assign information a high
or low priority for the five preset applications and three
additional applications that you specify .
The preset applications are among the most widely used
Internet applications . They include the following:
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) - A protocol used to transfer
files over a TCP/IP network (Internet, UNIX, etc .) . For
example, after developing the HTML pages for a website
on a local machine, they are typically uploaded to the web
server using FTP .
HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol) - The communications
protocol used to connect to servers on the World Wide
Web . Its primary function is to establish a connection with
a web server and transmit HTML pages to the client web
browser .
Telnet - A terminal emulation protocol commonly used on
Internet and TCP/IP-based networks . It allows a user at a
terminal or computer to log onto a remote device and run
a program .
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) - The standard e-
mail protocol on the Internet . It is a TCP/IP protocol that
defines the message format and the message transfer
agent (MTA), which stores and forwards the mail .
POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) - A standard mail server
commonly used on the Internet . It provides a message
store that holds incoming e-mail until users log on and
download it . POP3 is a simple system with little selectivity .
All pending messages and attachments are downloaded at
the same time . POP3 uses the SMTP messaging protocol .
Applcaton Name
Enter the name of an application you
specify .
Prorty For each application, select Hgh or Low .
Specfc Port# Enter the port number of each application
you specify .
