Operation Manual

data can be transferred to you from your ISP. You can test your connection speeds with a service such as
speedtest.net.
Queues
Queues and rules work in conjunction to prioritize bandwidth for the most critical operations. Multiple rules can be
associated with one queue. Use rules to associate your more critical operations with queues that have higher bandwidth
settings. For example, you might have two queues, one for “critical” and one for “secondary” with critical having most of
the bandwidth percentage. Use rules to associate your most important bandwidth needs (POS system, VoIP, etc.) with
the critical queue. Restrict the bandwidth available for less important functions with the secondary queue.
Assign percentages of both upload and download bandwidth to each queue. If you assign 80% download bandwidth to
the first queue, the next queue will be forced to be 20% or less.

Queue Name: Choose a name that is meaningful to you.
Upload Bandwidth
Enable Upload QoS: (Default: Enabled.) Deselect if you want your rule to apply to download traffic only. Leave this
selected to include upload restrictions with this queue.
Borrow Spare Bandwidth: (Default: Enabled.) When this is enabled, the interfaces/protocols associated with this rule
will borrow unused bandwidth from other rules. Disabling borrowing will restrict the traffic to the specified bandwidth.
Higher priority queues will be offered excess bandwidth first.
