StoreOnce Catalyst Bandwidth Limiting Windows
This tab allows users with an Admin login to apply a general bandwidth setting and to configure
bandwidth limiting windows for outbound copy jobs.
Bandwidth limiting can be used to avoid saturating the WAN, thus freeing up bandwidth for other
processes and applications that you may have running. 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.
