1.3 How Can It Help You ?

Bandwidth Manager Benefits

The Antamedia Bandwidth Manager has advanced architecture which allows both, simple and very largenetworks. You can install it on one computer and start controlling computers from your network. As yournetwork grows, you do not need to change anything. Everything is routed through the same computerwhich saves depoyment time and maintenance. With using the Bandwidth Manager software you cancontrol the computer Internet access based on MAC, IP address or both, limit bandwidth quota, dailybandwidth quota, upload and download speed, usage time, daily usage time etc.

Defined Internet Access for Known and Unknown Users

If you offer the Internet access to walk-in customers (unknown users), the Bandwidth Manager helps youconfigure separate limitations for such users. By enabling Autologin, you can allow access for unknowncomputers to the network with separate connection parameters. The advantage of our solution lies inhigh customization of User accounts which allows creating limited or unlimited accounts. Among classicfeatures like time and bandwidth quota limits, you can configure daily time limit, number of daily logins,

number of simultaneous logins with aggregation which is very practical when offering free WiFi Internet.In addition, its very easy to offer the paid Internet access with higher speeds, quota or unlimited daily ormonthly access.

Control Employee Internet Use

It is strongly recommended that you produce a company policy on the Internet usage, ensuring thatwithin it you include your policy on employee monitoring. Thus the employees know both what they canand what they cannot do and what you may be doing to observe them. The Bandwidth Manager softwarehas incorporated monitoring within the actual control of what can be accessed. Software does not trap orrecord emails since they has raised more technical legal issues than accessing networks or websites.Instead of that it simply records what computer and user accessed, which website, as that removes anychallenge on the basis of intercepting private communication. From the software you will be able toblock access to sites and achieve the basic aim, which is reducing the time and bandwidth wasted on

web surfing. Besides the blocked access to sites, you can go further and set banned keywords withinurls, for example, you can automatically block any website with sex or porn in the URL. Rather thanpresenting your employees with a blank screen, you can also set Bandwidth Manager to auto-redirectcertain URLS to more work friendly sites. Alternatively you can display your Internet usage policy as ablunt reminder, or perhaps a request form, and if necessary, the user can ask for an exception to thatspecific site.

Offer WiFi Services in Your Hotel, Coffee Shop, Restaurant

Offering high-speed wireless Internet services in one hotel will only help you increase occupancy andimprove tenant and guest satisfaction. Furthermore, it will also represent an additional source of revenuefor your business. Using the Antamedia Bandwidth Manager software in your WiFi Hotel, you are able to:- control and monitor the access to the Internet for all computers, both the wired and the wireless inyour guest rooms;- provide reliable wireless Internet access in your restaurant, lobby and conference rooms, which makesit ideal for seminars and meetings;- maintain secure access to the Internet resources outside the hotel, like on golf courses or by the hotelpools.

Serve Walk-in Laptop Customers in Your Cyber Cafe

If you run an Internet Caf or a Gaming Center, a great profit booster can be a wireless network. Manypeople use their own laptop for everyday job or on vacation to stay in touch with family and friends. Evenin non-working hours of your primary business, your customers will be able to use your services and

Network Configuration


Antamedia 2010 6

2 Network Configuration

2.1 Network Setup

The Network Setup page shows the following options:

Network Interface Network interface which connects the Bandwidth Manager to your

network

Autostart for selected

interface

Automatically starts the Bandwidth Manager control when the programstarts

IP address IP address of the selected network interfaceMaximum users Maximum number of users connected simultaneouslyInactivity logout Automatically disconnects the user after the specified time of inactivityStart Press the Start button to activate the Bandwidth Manager controlStop Press the Stop button to deactivate Bandwidth Manager control

Save Save network settings

The first step in setting up the Bandwidth Manager is sharing the Internet connection. This step is

required in order to allow all the customers in your network to access the Internet.

There are several ways to share the Internet connection:- Using theAntamedia Bandwidth Manager (Network Address Translation), a feature available inthe Premium Edition and within the trial interval. Setup Wizard will help you configure the NAT and giveyou the sample of how to configure the connections of computers in your network- Using the Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing available in Windows OS- Using the Routing and Remote Access available in Windows Server editions


11/39



Antamedia 2010 7

After you configure the Internet sharing, please select Network Interface which connects your networkto the Bandwidth Manager. On a selected network interface the Bandwidth manager will activate theintegrated Web Server which is used to control and filter computers access to the Internet. By changingthe network interface, the IP address will be automatically filled in. Please enableAutostart and press

on the Save button to store your settings.

The last step is clicking on the Start button to activate the Bandwidth Manager engine. From thatmoment the computers on the network will access the Internet based on your configuration from Userpanel.

In case that network computers don't have access to the Internet, please check if- the Internet connection is shared- the computers in your network have correct connection settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway,DNS). Please make sure that the gateway IP of the client computers is the same IP as IP address in theNetwork Setup page.- Windows Firewall and other firewalls are configured to allow the Bandwidth Manager communication- other web servers use port 80- Skype uses port 80. Please disable this feature in Skype - Options - Connection - 'Use port 80 and 443as alternatives for incoming connections' and restart Skype and the Antamedia Bandwidth Manager.


12/39



Antamedia 2010 8

2.2 NAT Setup

The Network Address Translation (NAT) is the process of modifying the packet network address inorder to use one public IP address with multiple usually local IP addresses. To say it simply, the NAT isperforming the Internet connection sharing.

For example, you are using ADSL to connect to your ISP, and your computer gets one public IP address(like 202.102.43.11). Since all the customer computers in your Bandwidth Manager network should haveit's own IP address, you can use the NAT to do the translation between the local IP address (like192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.254) and the public IP which ISP assigned to your ADSL. Of course, the NATcan be used with any type of devices and it is not limited to ADSL.

To configure the NAT, you need to know how you are connected to the Internet. If you are using amodem (like ADSL, Cable etc), please select the Dial-up modem.If you are connected through a switch, a router or some other device, please specify LAN.

As a NAT Network Interface, please select the network interface which connects the BandwidthManager to the Internet.

The last option to configure is the DNS redirector. Please type here one of the DNS addresses specifiedby your Internet service provider, or any other working DNS server. This option helps in those caseswhen the customer has incorrectly configured DNS address. Bandwidth Manager will redirect client to thecorrect address and the DNS query will be resolved.

Database Server


Antamedia 2010 9

3 Database Server

3.1 Database Server

The Antamedia Database Server is an additional application that stores software database files(including: users, statistic reports, action log database etc.). The Database Server installer is included inthe Bandwidth Manager installer which is available for download from Antamedia web site downloadpage (www.antamedia.com/download).

The Database server can be installed on the same computer as the Antamedia Bandwidth Manager orsome other computer. For small installations (100 simultaneous users) the Database Server can belocated on the same computer, assuming that such computer is fast enough to handle all the tasks.Please use theTask Manager to monitor the system resources and the CPU usage. When idle, BandwidthManager and Database Server do not show any significant CPU usage. However, with a large number ofconcurrent users, the Bandwidth Manager and Database Server might reach 40-50% of CPU usage, and

this is a sign to move Database Server to the other computer.

On installing the Database Server, the Installer will start the ADBConfigurator (Antamedia DatabaseConfigurator) which will perform the maintenance, update and add new database tables, storedprocedures, triggers etc.

Recommendation: To keep your database safe, please use UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) on thecomputer where the Database Server is installed. In case of power issues, database will remain intact.Power problems might lead to the corrupted database and cause downtime. You can learn more aboutUPS in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply

Repairing database: If you already have a database problem, please close the HotSpot and runADBConfigurator, which is located in the same folder as the Database Server. Select the Accounts tablesand click on the Repair button. In most cases the database can be fixed successfully.
