10 Introduction
Bandwidth Management
The NSE optimizes bandwidth by limiting bandwidth usage symmetrically or asymmetrically
on a per device (MAC address / User) basis, and manages the WAN Link traffic to provide
complete bandwidth management over the entire network. You can ensure that every user has a
quality experience by placing a bandwidth ceiling on each device accessing the network, so
every user gets a fair share of the available bandwidth.
With the Nomadix ICC feature enabled, subscribers can increase or decrease their own
bandwidth and pricing plans for their service dynamically.
Billing Records Mirroring
NSE-powered devices can send copies of credit card billing records (and optionally, PMS) to
external servers that have been previously defined by system administrators. The NSE assumes
control of billing transmissions and the saving of billing records. By effectively “mirroring”
the billing data, the NSE can send copies of billing records to predefined “carbon copy”
servers. Additionally, if the primary and secondary servers are not responding, the NSE can
store up to 2,000 billing records. The NSE regularly attempts to connect with the primary and
secondary severs. When a connection is re-established (with either server), the NSE sends the
cached information to the server. Customers can be confident that their billing information is
secure and that no transaction records are lost.
Bridge Mode
This feature allows complete and unconditional access to devices. When Bridge Mode is
enabled, your NSE-powered product is effectively transparent to the network in which it is
located.
