Bandwidth Limit (--bandwidth)

Objects with this attribute

Usage

Object Manager Bandwidth Limit Choose the maximum bandwidth from the list.
Command line --bandwidth bandwidth Replace bandwidth with the maximum bandwidth, in bits per second.

Description

This attribute specifies the maximum bandwidth this person may use between the client device and the Secure Global Desktop server for X and Windows applications.

Choose None (on the command line, 0) to specify no limit: the person uses as much of the available bandwidth as possible. This gives the best application usability for the speed of the network connection.

You don't need to change this unless you have particular bandwidth restrictions: in normal use, we recommend you use None.

The table below shows the bandwidth options in Object Manager and the values you must use on the command line:
