Bandwidth limitation.

In the CMS, when a playlist, page, video or image is sent to a screen, the screen displaying the content has to download it. This download then consumes the bandwidth of the Internet connection of the room where the screen is located.

For a number of reasons, this bandwidth consumption can interfere with the operation of other devices using the network on the premises where your equipment is located (cash registers, credit card machines, office network, copiers, etc.).

In the CMS, it is possible to limit or prohibit bandwidth consumption when downloading media (images and videos hosted on the cms) within a user-defined time slot.

Bandwidth consumption ban: images and videos will not be downloaded during the defined period.

Limitation of bandwidth consumption: a capped part (according to the user's choice) of the bandwidth will be allocated to downloading the media in the playlist. Downloading will take longer, but will allow other devices in the room to access the internet connection without interruption.

On the CMS, you can limit bandwidth or prohibit media downloads for all your screens.

In the CMS you must first select the settings tab and then click on Bandwidth Management.

Then click on “Enable bandwidth limiting” and then on “Save global settings”.

You need to choose the bandwidth limit (or ban) in the start (1) and end (2) inputs. The restriction will take effect during this time slot. It is also advisable to leave a fairly wide permission range during which your screens will be able to download the update content. You should, however, leave a fairly wide free time slot during which your screens will be able to download the media required for content updates.

In the drop-down menu (3), you can choose between banning downloads and limiting bandwidth.

Ban on downloads Once you have selected the bandwidth ban, click on the + button at the end of the line, then on Save global settings.
