Bandwidth Limit (--bandwidth)

Objects with this attribute

Person

Object Manager

Attribute name	Usage
Bandwidth Limit	Choose the maximum bandwidth from the list.

Command line

Command option	Usage
`--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:

Object Manager	Command line
2400 bps	2400

28.8 Kbps	28800
33.6 Kbps	33600
38.8 Kbps	38800
57.6 Kbps	57600
64 Kbps	64000
128 Kbps	128000
256 Kbps	256000
