Bandwidth Manager Manual
Network Configuration
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 customer computers in your Bandwidth Manager network should have it's
own IP address, you can use NAT to do translation between local IP address (like 192.168.0.2 -
192.168.0.254) and public IP which ISP assigned to your ADSL. Of course, NAT can be used with any
type of devices and is not limited to ADSL.
To configure NAT, you need to know how are you connected to the Internet. If you are using a modem
(like ADSL, Cable etc), please select Dial-up modem.
If you are connecting through switch, router or other devices, please specify LAN.
As a NAT Network Interface, please select network interface which connects Bandwidth Manager to
the Internet.
The last option to configure is DNS redirector. Please type here one of the DNS addresses specified by
your Internet service provider, or any other working DNS server. This option helps in cases when
customer has incorrectly configured DNS address. Bandwidth Manager will redirect client to the correct
address and DNS query will be resolved.

Database Server
3 Database Server
Database server can be installed on the same computer as Antamedia Bandwidth Manager or some other
computer. For small installations (100 simultaneous users) Database Server can be located on the same
computer, assuming that such computer is fast enough to handle all tasks. Please use Task Manager to
monitor system resources and CPU usage. When idle, Bandwidth Manager and Database Server doesn't
show any significant CPU usage. However, with large number of concurrent users, Bandwidth Manager
and Database Server might reach 40-50% of CPU usage, and this is a sign to move Database Server to
other computer.
Upon installing Database Server, Installer will start ADBConfigurator (Antamedia Database Configurator)
which will perform maintenance, update and add new database tables, stored procedures, triggers etc.
Recommendation: To keep your database safe, please use UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) on a
computer where Database Server is installed. In case of power issues, database will remain intact.
Power problems might lead to corrupted database and cause downtime. You can learn more about UPS
in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply
Repairing database: If you already have database problem, please close HotSpot and run
ADBConfigurator, which is located in the same folder as Database Server. Select Accounts tables and
click on Repair button. In most cases database can be fixed successfully.
