Updated Code42 console interface
Some menu and navigation items shown in this video have changed. Follow the steps in this article to navigate to these settings, then watch the video for more details.

Access device backup network settings

To view or edit device backup network settings:

  1. Sign in to the Code42 console.
  2. Select Administration > Environment > Organizations.
  3. Select an organization.
    The organization details appear.
  4. Select Actions > Device backup defaults.

Device backup network settings

Network device backup default settings.

Sending limits

Sending limits are defined by either a standard setting that applies the same values at all times, or a scheduled setting that applies different values for peak and off-peak business hours.

Standard sending limits

Standard sending limits

Item Description
a Standard or Scheduled

Selects standard or schedule-based sending limits. Standard sending limits apply the same values at all times. Scheduled sending limits allow administrators to specify different data transfer rates for peak and off-peak business hours.
b Limit sending rate when away to

Defines the backup-data transfer rate when the user is away from the device.

  • Backup progress is slower at lower sending rates.
  • Setting the limit to None means that no throttling takes place.
Minimum sending limits
When setting network sending limits, do not set a rate lower than 0.10 Mbps or 100 Kbps. Rates lower than 0.10 Mbps can prevent devices from communicating with the Code42 cloud, which can stop backups and future configuration changes. To stop backup entirely, do not adjust sending limits. Instead, you can only allow backups at specified times.

 
c Limit sending rate when present to

Defines the backup-data transfer rate when the user is present.

  • Backup progress is slower at lower sending rates.
  • Setting the limit to None means that no throttling takes place.
d Network overrides 

Enables administrators to override the default WAN and LAN definitions and add specific network ranges.

  • WAN: Leave at the default setting None. Placing network addresses into this field has no effect. All WAN sending rate limits apply to the Code42 cloud and cannot be overridden on specific networks.
  • LAN: Override private networks such as a VPN. 

Use Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation to enter network overrides:

  • IPv4 example: 192.168.1.0/24
  • IPv6 example: 2001:db8::/32
e

WAN

Defines values for each device connecting to a destination's routable IP address. WAN (wide area network) typically means locations outside of your office, organization, or firewall.  
f LAN

Defines values for each device connecting to a destination's non-routable IP address. LAN (local area network) typically means locations inside of your office, organization, or firewall.
g Lock

Prevents users from changing these settings.
h Push

Applies these settings to existing devices in addition to new devices.


Changes to these settings may take up to 24 hours to apply to all devices in your Code42 environment. To apply settings immediately, configure and push the settings individually for each organization.

Scheduled sending limits

Scheduled sending limits settings

Item Description
a Standard or Scheduled

Selects standard or schedule-based sending limits. Standard sending limits apply the same values at all times. Scheduled sending limits allow administrators to specify different data transfer rates for peak and off-peak business hours.
b Peak business hours schedule Indicates which days use peak business hours sending limits.
c Time Sets start and end time for peak business hours each day. Times must be entered in the 24-hour clock format. Scheduling is based on each device’s local time.
d During peak business hours Displays data transfer rates for backup activity during the peak business hours schedule.
  • Backup progress is slower at lower sending rates.
  • Setting the limit to None means no throttling takes place.
Limit sending rate when away to

Limits the backup-data transfer rate during the peak business hours schedule when the user is away from the device.
Limit sending rate when present to Limits the backup-data transfer rate during the peak business hours schedule when the user is present.
e WAN Limits the backup-data transfer rate for each device connecting to a destination's routable IP address. WAN (wide area network) typically means locations outside of your office, organization, or firewall.
f LAN Limits the backup-data transfer rate for each device connecting to a destination's non-routable IP address. LAN (local area network) typically means locations inside of your office, organization, or firewall.
g During off-peak business hours Displays data transfer rates for backup activity outside the times defined in the peak business hours schedule.
  • Backup progress is slower at lower sending rates.
  • Setting the limit to None means no throttling takes place.
Limit sending rate when away to Limits the backup-data transfer rate during off-peak business hours when the user is away from the device.
Limit sending rate when present to Limits the backup-data transfer rate during off-peak business hours when the user is present.
h Network overrides

Enables administrators to override the default WAN and LAN definitions and add specific network ranges.

  • WAN: Leave at the default setting None. Placing network addresses into this field has no effect. All WAN sending rate limits apply to the Code42 cloud and cannot be overridden on specific networks.
  • LAN Override private networks such as a VPN.

  • IPv6 example: 2001:db8::/32
i Lock Prevents users from changing these settings.
j Push

Applies these settings to existing devices in addition to new devices.


Changes to these settings may take up to 24 hours to apply to all devices in your Code42 environment. To apply settings immediately, configure and push the settings individually for each organization.

DSCP

DSCP settings

Item Description
a Enable DSCP

Enables Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) for the LAN portion of your Code42 environment.

 

Configuring DSCP settings only affect LANs where routers configured to support DSCP, and where other services use the same ports as Code42. DSCP is a topic for experienced network administrators, and beyond the scope of our Technical Support Engineers. Incorrectly configuring these settings can adversely affect network performance and impact Code42 agent connectivity.
b Set DSCP to only work for

Sets DSCP on IPv6 or IPv4 packets.
c DSCP Value Defines the custom DSCP value.
d Push Applies this setting to existing devices in addition to new devices.
e Lock

Locks this setting to prevent users from changing it from the Code42 agent.

Proxy

Item Description
a Enabled Enables network proxy.
b PAC URL

URL or file path of your proxy auto-config (PAC) file.
