The Uplink Configuration page allows to select the QX1000's WAN interface connection type and bandwidth settings. These settings make QX1000 available to the external network.
The Uplink Configuration page offers the following components:
TheInterface Type allows to select Ethernet or VLAN (if configured) connection type.The bandwidth provided by the ISP has to be specified both in the text fields Upstream and Downstream. The default value in both fields is 1000000, the maximum bandwidth of the 1000 MB uplink module. In most cases, providers offer a smaller bandwidth than 1000000 kbit/s.
The text field Min Data Rate allows to specify the amount or upstream bandwidth that will remain in any case for data applications, even if voice applications use the whole bandwidth specified in the text field Upstream Bandwidth. The value entered here has to be smaller that the value specified in Upstream Bandwidth - between 0 and the bandwidth that is needed by the number of parallel voice calls that shall be guaranteed. To give you an impression of the needed bandwidth for an IP call depending on the used codecs see the corresponding table.
