Billing Records Mirroring
NSE-powered devices can send copies of billing records 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.
The NSE forwards any and all packets (except those addressed to the NSE network interface). The packets are
unmodified and can be forwarded in both directions. The Bridge Mode function is a very useful feature when
troubleshooting your entire network as it allows administrators to effectively “remove” your product from the
network without physically disconnecting the unit.
Class-Based Queueing
The Nomadix Class-Based Queueing feature provides the ability to define multiple groups (classes) of users.
You can prioritize groups and guarantee minimum bandwidth on a per- group basis.
Users are added to classes, and rules are applied across the entire class. Each class has three configurable
attributes:

Priority

Minimum Bandwidth

Maximum Bandwidth
Class-based queueing does not apply rules to individual users. You may use bandwidth limits to restrict
individual users, if desired.
Class-based queueing does not provide application-level (layer 7) throttling or class of service.
Use Case: Property has 100 Mbps WAN Link
In this scenario, a property wishes to provide guaranteed minimum bandwidth and prioritize traffic across
three groups: Conference, Guest Room, and Public Areas. The property can configure class-based queuing
according to the following table.
