DESCRIPTION
Select this check box to turn on application patrol.
This is a global setting for enabling or disabling bandwidth management on the
ZyWALL. You must enable this setting to have individual policy routes or
application patrol policies apply bandwidth management.
This same setting also appears in the Network > Routing > Policy Route screen.
Enabling or disabling it in one screen also enables or disables it in the other screen.
Select this to maximize the throughput of SIP traffic to improve SIP-based VoIP call
sound quality. This has the ZyWALL immediately send SIP traffic upon identifying
it. The ZyWALL ignores any other application patrol rules for SIP traffic (so there is
no bandwidth control for SIP traffic). When this option is enabled the ZyWALL also
does not record SIP traffic bandwidth usage statistics.
The following fields display information on the current signature set that the
ZyWALL is using.
This field displays the application patrol signature rule set version number. This
number gets larger as the set is enhanced.
This field displays the date and time the set was released.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the ZyWALL.
Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
