StoreOnce Catalyst Bandwidth Limiting Windows tab

There are four sections to this tab, all of which relate to bandwidth limiting on outbound copy jobs.

Status: details the current bandwidth limit, if any.

General bandwidth limit: administrator users may enable and apply a general bandwidth
limit. This is a simple calculation of:

(Max WAN Speed) x (Max Desired WAN Usage%).

Bandwidth limit calculator: provided to help work out limit values for the general bandwidth
limit and the bandwidth limiting windows.

Bandwidth limiting windows: administrator users may specify certain times when different
bandwidth limits may apply. Any bandwidth limit entered will overwrite the general bandwidth
limit.

Bandwidth limiting can be used to avoid saturating the WAN to free up bandwidth for other
processes and applications. A minimum of 2Mbps per concurrent job is recommended. At least
512Kbps per concurrent job is required for reliable operation. These limits apply to all outbound
copy jobs from this local appliance.
