BM-500 Bandwidth Management Gateway User’s Manual
Chapter 1: Introduction
BM-500 is specifically designed for SOHO networks. It has built-in 4-port 10/100Mbps Ethernet LAN ports and
NAT function. Thus, no broadband router is required for users which have only one public IP address. It also
supports virtual server, Multi-DMZ and dynamic DNS function which is very useful for users to share local
resource to Internet users.
For bandwidth management, packets can be classified based on IP address, IP subnet and TCP/UDP port
number. The device has more than 40 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 30 minutes.
Both the NAT mode and transparent mode are supported, therefore allowing the existing network structure to
remain the same without reconfiguring. The BM-500 provides policy-based firewall protection and several
hacker protections to prevent any hacker attack. Besides, the comprehensive alarm and log function allow
the network Management Gateway to easily enhance the security of local network.

Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
2.1 Installation Requirements
Before installing the Bandwidth Management Gateway, make sure your network meets the following
requirements.
- Mechanical Requirements
The Bandwidth Management Gateway is to be installed between your Internet connection and local area
network. The Bandwidth Management Gateway can be placed on the table or rack. Locate the unit near
the power outlet.
- Electrical Requirements
The Bandwidth Management Gateway is a power-required device, it means, the Bandwidth Management
Gateway 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 Management Gateway. It
will prevent you from network data loss. In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help
to protect your Bandwidth Management Gateway from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to
the Bandwidth Management Gateway.
- Network Requirements
In order for Bandwidth Management Gateway to manage traffic, the traffic must pass through Bandwidth
Management Gateway at a useful point in a network. In most situations, the bandwidth Management
Gateway should be placed behind the Internet connection device.
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 Management Gateway also provides comprehensive
security, log and statistics functions to help monitor network and bandwidth usage and allow adjustment of
the bandwidth management policies accordingly.
2.2 Operation Mode
BM-500 supports two operation modes, Transparent and NAT. In transparent mode, BM-500 works as
proxy with forward LAN packet to WAN and forward WAN packet to LAN. The LAN and WAN side IP
addresses are in the same subnet. In NAT mode, LAN side user will share one public IP address of WAN
port to make Internet connection. Please find the following two pictures for example.
2.2.1 Transparent Mode Connection Example

Chapter 3: Getting Started
3.1 Web Configuration
STEP 1:
Connect both the Administrator’s PC and the LAN port of the Bandwidth Management Gateway to a hub or
switch. Make sure there is a link light on the hub/switch for both connections. The Bandwidth Management
Gateway has an embedded web server used for management and configuration. Use a web browser to
display the configurations of the Bandwidth Management Gateway (such as Internet Explorer 4(or above) or
Netscape 4.0(or above) with full java script support). The default IP address of the Bandwidth Management
Gateway is 192.168.1.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Therefore, the IP address of the Administrator
PC must be in the range between 192.168.1.2– 192.168.1.254
If the company’s LAN IP Address is not subnet of 192.168.1.0, (i.e. LAN IP Address is 172.16.0.1), then the
Administrator must change his/her PC IP address to be within the same range of the LAN subnet (i.e.
172.16.0.2). Reboot the PC if necessary.
By default, the Bandwidth Management Gateway is shipped with its DHCP Server function enabled. This
means the client computers on the LAN network including the Administrator PC can set their TCP/IP settings
to automatically obtain an IP address from the Bandwidth Management Gateway.
The following table is a list of private IP addresses. These addresses may not be used as a WAN IP address.
10.0.0.0 ~ 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 ~ 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 ~ 192.168.255.255
STEP 2:
Once the Administrator PC has an IP address on the same network as the Bandwidth Management Gateway,
open up an Internet web browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar.
A pop-up screen will appear and prompt for a username and password. A username and password is required
to connect to the Bandwidth Management Gateway. Enter the default login username and password of
Administrator (see below).

4.1.10 DNS Proxy
The Bandwidth Management Gateway’s Administrator may use the DNS Proxy function to make the
Bandwidth Management Gateway act as a DNS Server for the LAN and DMZ network. All DNS requests to
a specific Domain Name will be routed to the Bandwidth Management Gateway’s IP address. For example,
let’s say an organization has their mail server (i.e., mail.planet.com.tw) in the DMZ network (i.e.
192.168.10.10). The outside Internet world may access the mail server of the organization easily by its
domain name, providing that the Administrator has set up Virtual Server or Mapped IP settings correctly.
However, for the users in the LAN network, their WAN DNS server will assign them a public IP address for the
mail server. So for the LAN network to access the mail server (mail.planet.com.tw, they would have to go out
to the Internet, then come back through the Bandwidth Management Gateway to access the mail server.
Essentially, the LAN network is accessing the mail server by a real public IP address, while the mail server
serves their request by a NAT address and not a real one.
This odd situation occurs when there are servers in the DMZ network and they are bound to real IP addresses.
To avoid this, set up DNS Proxy so all the LAN network computers will use the Bandwidth Management
Gateway as a DNS server, which acts as the DNS Proxy.
If you want to use the DNS Proxy function of the device, the end user’s main DNS server IP address
should be the same IP Address as the device.
Click on System in the menu bar, then click on DNS Proxy below it. The DNS Proxy window will appear.

An IP address in the Address Table can be an address of a computer or a sub network. The Administrator can
assign an easily recognized name to an IP address. Based on the network it belongs to, an IP address can be
an LAN IP address, WAN IP address. If the Administrator needs to create a control policy for packets of
different IP addresses, he can first add a new group in the LAN Network Group or the WAN Network Group
and assign those IP addresses into the newly created group. Using group addresses can greatly simplify the
process of building control policies.
With easily recognized names of IP addresses and names of address groups shown in the address table, the
Administrator can use these names as the source address or destination address of control policies. The
address table should be built before creating control policies, so that the Administrator can pick the names of
correct IP addresses from the address table when setting up control policies.

4.4 Service
In this section, network services are defined and new network services can be added. There are three sub menus under
Service which are: Pre-defined, Custom, and Group. The Administrator can simply follow the instructions below to
define the protocols and port numbers for network communication applications. Users then can connect to servers and
other computers through these available network services.
What is Service?
TCP and UDP protocols support varieties of services, and each service consists of a TCP Port or UDP port number, such
as TELNET(23), SMTP(21), POP3(110),etc. The Bandwidth Management Gateway defines two services: pre-defined
service and custom service. The common-use services like TCP and UDP are defined in the pre-defined service and
cannot be modified or removed. In the custom menu, users can define other TCP port and UDP port numbers that are
not in the pre-defined menu according to their needs. When defining custom services, the client port ranges from 1024 to
65535 and the server port ranges from 0 to 1023.
How do I use Service?
The Administrator can add new service group names in the Group option under Service menu, and assign desired
services into that new group. Using service group the Administrator can simplify the processes of setting up control
policies. For example, there are 10 different computers that want to access 5 different services on a server, such as HTTP,
FTP, SMTP, POP3, and TELNET. Without the help of service groups, the Administrator needs to set up 50 (10x5) control
policies, but by applying all 5 services to a single group name in the service field, it takes only one control policy to
achieve the same effect as the 50 control policies.
4.4.1 Pre-defined

4.5 Schedule
The Bandwidth Management Gateway allows the Administrator to configure a schedule for policies to take
affect. By creating a schedule, the Administrator is allowing the Bandwidth Management Gateway policies to
be used at those designated times only. Any activities outside of the scheduled time slot will not follow the
Bandwidth Management Gateway policies therefore will likely not be permitted to pass through the Bandwidth
Management Gateway. The Administrator can configure the start time and stop time, as well as creating 2
different time periods in a day. For example, an organization may only want the Bandwidth Management
Gateway to allow the LAN network users to access the Internet during work hours. Therefore, the
Administrator may create a schedule to allow the Bandwidth Management Gateway to work Monday-Friday,
8AM - 5PM only. During the non-work hours, the Bandwidth Management Gateway will not allow Internet
access.

4.8 Policy
This section provides the Administrator with facilities to sent control policies for packets with different source
IP addresses, source ports, destination IP addresses, and destination ports. Control policies decide whether
packets from different network objects, network services, and applications are able to pass through the
Bandwidth Management Gateway.
What is Policy?
The device uses policies to filter packets. The policy settings are: source address, destination address,
services, permission, packet log, packet statistics, and flow alarm. Based on its source addresses, a packet
can be categorized into:
(1) Outgoing: a client is in the LAN networks, while a server is in the WAN networks.
(2) Incoming, a client is in the WAN networks, while a server is in the LAN networks.
How do I use Policy?
The policy settings are source addresses, destination addresses, services, permission, log, statistics, and
flow alarm. Among them, source addresses, destination addresses and IP mapping addresses have to be
defined in the Address menu in advance. Services can be used directly in setting up policies, if they are in the
Pre-defined Service menu. Custom services need to be defined in the Custom menu before they can be used
in the policy settings.
If the destination address of an incoming policy is a Mapped IP address or a Virtual Server address, then the
address has to be defined in the Virtual Server section instead of the Address section.
4.8.1 Outgoing
This section describes steps to create policies for packets and services from the LAN network to the WAN
network.
