BM-500 is specifically designed for SOHO networks. It has built-in four 10/100Mbps Ethernet LAN ports and NAT function. Thus no broadband router is required for users with only one public IP address. It also supports virtual server, Multi-DMZ and dynamic DNS functions that are very useful for our customers to share local resources with 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, and so on for easy definition. The administrator can then define policies to ensure committed and maximum bandwidth levels for inbound and outbound traffic in each class. The administrator can also define three priority levels for each policy to ensure 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, and therefore can maintain the existing network infrastructure without reconfiguring. The BM-500 provides policy-based firewall protection and several hacker protections to prevent hackers' attack. Besides, the comprehensive alarm and log function allow the network manager to easily enhance the security of local network.
Product Application
SOHO Bandwidth Management
If your xDSL or Cable Internet connection may have only one public IP address and would like to share it with all LAN users, the PLANET bandwidth management gateway, BM-500, is capable of meeting your need.
BM-500 has built-in NAT function. No more broadband router is required since BM-500 provides all the broadband router functions in addition to the bandwidth management function.
