Chapter 1：Introduction
Business-critical and time-sensitive applications such as VoIP or transaction processing need guaranteed bandwidth. PLANET’s new 10Mbps and 100Mbps Bandwidth Managers, the BM-2010 and BM-2100, offer network administrators an easy yet powerful means to allocate network resources based on business priorities, and to shape, analyze and control bandwidth usage. Expensive WAN resources are more effectively utilized, avoiding the need for costly upgrades while still meeting business priorities.
The PLANET BM-2010 and BM-2100 are simple to install, with two 10/100Mbps Ethernet port for connecting to the local network and the WAN router respectively. A 16x2 character LCD panel makes installation and maintenance easier and more efficient. For bandwidth management, packets can be classified based on IP address, IP subnet and TCP/UDP port number. The device has more than 20 of the most common protocols such as H.323, Oracle, HTTP, FTP, etc. for ease of definition; the administrator can then define policies to ensure committed and maximum bandwidth levels for inbound / outbound traffic in each class. The administrator can also define three priority levels for each policy to ensure that high priority packets receive the maximum available bandwidth. In addition, each policy can have a schedule defined for when the policy is activated or inactivated in increments of 5 minutes.
The BM-2010 and BM-2100 also enable administrators to effectively measure traffic on the network and provide comprehensive graphical reports about how bandwidth is being used. The administrator can view each internal host’s inbound and outbound traffic or each network service’s inbound and outbound traffic. The BM-2010 and BM-2100 also provide a graphical report for either the top ten internal hosts or services that generate traffic. A free utility, Bandwidth Analyzer, is also provided to help you make further analysis of the bandwidth usage. This reporting system helps administrators quickly understand and reallocate bandwidth usage to an optimized level and make best use of the limited and expensive Wide-area network bandwidth. For uninterrupted Internet access, the BM-2010 and BM-2100 also provide an in-box bypass function to keep your Internet service available.

Chapter 2：Hardware Installation

2.1 Installation Requirements

Before installing the Bandwidth Manager, make sure your network meets the following requirements.
- Mechanical Requirements
The Bandwidth Manager is to be installed between your router and local area network. The Bandwidth Manager can be placed on the table or rack. Locate the unit near the power outlet.
- Electrical Requirements
The Bandwidth Manager is powered from 100/240 VAC. A standard IEC connector is used for the power cable. Follow all applicable electrical codes. Frame ground should be tied to a common grounding point using #18AWG cable.
NOTE: The Bandwidth Manager is a power-required device, it means, the Bandwidth Manager will not
work until it is powered. If your networked PCs will need to transmit data all the time, please consider use an UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your Bandwidth Manager. It will prevent you from network data loss. In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your Bandwidth Manager from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the Bandwidth Manager.
- Network Requirements
In order for Bandwidth Manager to manage traffic, the traffic must pass through Bandwidth Manager at a useful point in a network. In most situations, the bandwidth manager should be placed behind the Internet connection router.
This deployment allows the network administers to control all bandwidth based on business priorities and give business-critical and time-sensitive applications guarantee bandwidth and higher priority. Business-critical applications can receive maximum performance while other less urgent traffic is still available on remaining bandwidth. Bandwidth Manager also provides comprehensive reporting functions to help monitor network and bandwidth usage and allow adjustment of the bandwidth management policies accordingly.
The Bandwidth Manager provides two 10/100Base-TX port for connecting to WAN (external) and LAN (internal) side. The network ports are both MDI (media dependent interface) port. Please use straight Category 5 UTP Ethernet cable to connect the network port to switch, hub or other devices with MDI-X interface and use cross-over cable to connect the network port to router, DSL/Cable modem or other devices with MDI interface.

2.2 Install Bandwidth Manager to Your Network

- Choose an Installation Site
Select a suitable place on the network to install the Bandwidth Manager.
- Connect LAN Cables
Use standard LAN cables to connect your LAN side Switch or Hub to the LAN ports on Bandwidth Manager. Both 10Base-T and 100Base-T connections can be used. The LAN and WAN port of bandwidth manager support Auto-Negotiation to connect with best speed and duplex mode. The LAN port of Bandwidth Manager is MDI port. Thus, you can just use straight network to connect the LAN port to your switch or hub.
- 6 -
- Connect WAN Cable
Connect the router, DSL or Cable modem to the WAN port on Bandwidth Manager. The LAN and WAN port of Bandwidth Manager are both MDI port. Thus, in some case, you may need to use cross-over cable to connect your router, DSL or cable modem.
- Power Up
Connect the supplied power cord to Bandwidth Manager and use the power switch that in rear panel to turn on the Bandwidth Manager. Use only the power cord provided. Using a different one may cause hardware damage.
NOTE: Once you power on the Bandwidth Manager, it will start to beep indicated it is on by-pass mode.
This is normal and when the system stop to beep, the system booting is completed.
- Check the LEDs
The PWR LED should be ON. The STATUS LED should flash for about 1 to 2 minutes, then turn Off. This LED will also flash when is reading data from the memory. Both the WAN and LAN’s LNK LED should be on. If one of the LED is off, please check the network connection. In some case, you may need to use cross-over cable to connect the LAN or WAN port to your networks.
For more information, refer to Section 1.3 Bandwidth Manager Front View.

3.2 Logging in as Administrator

Now you can communicate with Bandwidth Manager by web browser.
Open the web browser and type https://192.168.0.250:8889. Please note that “8889” is the port number of Bandwidth Manager management interface, “https” here is to invoke the SSL of you web browser.
You must key in user name and password to enter its web management interface.
The default user name is “admin” without password.
Then, you will enter Bandwidth Manager’s Configuration Menu.
- 9 -
Chapter 4：Web Configuration
This chapter introduces how to configure the Bandwidth Manager to effectively control your bandwidth usage.
On the top of the Web interface, there is three major menu of the bandwidth manager:
System Settings: The basic system configurations
Policy Editor: The policy that will be used to manage the bandwidth
Report: The reporting system of the bandwidth manager base on the system settings and pre-defined
policy
The bandwidth manager will need the three parameters before it operates the bandwidth control: Host, (illustrated in section 4.1.6), Services (illustrated in section 4.1.7) and Policy, (illustrated in section 4.2). However, some of the configurations are also required. Please refer to the related section for the details.

4.1 System Settings

System settings menu contains three categories: “General” allows you to configure basic network parameters, Internet connection bandwidth and date/time. “Catalog” allows you to define host and services information which is needed for policy editor. “Admin” contains options to setup SNMP, backup / restore settings, upgrade firmware, etc.
