Traffic Manager -4000
Traffic manager is a multi function router, designed to cover the basic needs when buil-
ding wired or wireless, local or metropolitan networks. It's basic firewalling capabili-
ties and network address translations make it is easy to use for connecting a group of
computers to the internet. Class based traffic shaping allows to assign different custo-
mers different guaranteed bandwidths, but unused bandwidth could also be shared.
Quality of service could be achieved by classifying traffic not only by I addresses, but
also by application protocols or type of service field (TOS). Security could be impro-
ved by limiting access only to specific clients with assigned I addresses. The device
can be managed over serial port, or remotely by ssh or SNM . I traffic accounting
allows for measurement of transmitted data and could be used for charging by data
volume.
There are 3 models available:
W-2000 has 2 ethernet ports and 2 wireless ports that could be configured in fol-
lowing modes: A (access point), SA (station adapter) and WB (wireless bridge).
The second port is built in to be able to get the internet feed for wireless network.
W-1000 has 4 ethernet ports and one wireless port that could be used in SA and
AdHoc modes. It is suitable as a single wireless access device.
E-4000 has 4 ethernet ports. Except for wireless capabilities, all the other features
are same for all the models.
Device functions:
- router, bridge
- firewall (allowing/denying specific ports), masquerading (source NAT)
- tcp port redirector, bootp relay
- support for I aliases (multiple I addresses on one interface), static routing table
- limiting access to the device based on MAC address even on the ethernet port
- class based traffic shaping with guaranteed bandwith and unused bandwith sharing
- classifying traffic by I addresses, application ports and TOS field
- I traffic accounting
- management via SNM protocol or command line configuration (ssh, RS 232)
- firmware could be upgraded and configuration saved/restored via scp or tftp
- statistics, network diagnostics (ping, traceroute, iptraf, tcpdump)
- hardware watchdog for improved reliability
