AirLive AirMax5 User’s Manual
Please first enable the Bandwidth Control, then select “Per User Bandwidth Control” to
begin. It is recommended to use this type of bandwidth control for Access Point and
AP Router mode.
Per User Control Options
Description: Enter a description for the bandwidth policy. For example, “VIP”
subscriber
Type: AirMax5 offers 3 types of Per-User Control
IP Address: To limit the bandwidth of one single IP address.
IP Segment: To limit the bandwidth the entire IP segment.
For example; if you enter the address of 192.168.1.20 with subnet mask of
255.255.255.248, the AirMax5 will limit bandwidth of IP addresses from
192.168.1.17 to 192.168.1.22. Please use an online IP calculate if you are
not familiar with IP segment calculation. Below is an example link:
Because the Ethernet interface is also controlled by the Bandwidth Manager,
it is recommended that devices on the Ethernet side to use a wider IP subnet
mask that will cover the IP range of the controlled IP segment. Therefore,
the devices on Ethernet interface will not be limited by bandwidth control and
still can communicate with the IP segment. For example, if your IP segment
is set to 192.168.1.20 / 255.255.255.248, then the devices on the Ethernet
side should be 192.168.1.X / 255.255.255.0.
MAC address: To limit the bandwidth of one single MAC address.
Port Range: This is available only in WISP router and AP Router mode. It
can limit the bandwidth by application ports.
Application: This option is available only in WISP router and AP Router
mode. It can limit the bandwidth of HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, and eDonkey
traffic.

units.
Uplink Max: Enter the speed you wish to limit the upload traffic in kbps units
Example 1: Total Bandwidth Control

We want to limit the Bandwidth of the link to 2048Kbps download and 512kbps Upload.
