TES Platform is a basis for proprietary TES Application Package (TES AP) which incorporates advanced traffic engineering toolset for building an efficient Internet Service Provider or Enterprise network with exceptional performance and security.
The main goal of deploying TES Platform with TES AP is to achieve the best network performance, reliability and security by highly efficient Internet backbone resources utilization, malicious traffic filtering and effective bandwidth management implementation like Quality of Service as well as accurate and reliable traffic shaping.
TES Platform comes with Open Source Linux operating system and is convenient to be deployed into any Ethernet network environment.

In the above example, the TES Platform is connected to Internet backbone and to the network with the subscribers’ base or the end users. Herewith, TES Platform is used as a router and performs complete Network Address Translation (NAT) for the subscriber base network.
Application Package (TES AP) is the extension for TES Platform and contains proprietary toolset for advanced traffic engineering e.g. Bandwidth Management, Quality of Service (QoS), Web Cache, Acceleration, Security, Traffic Monitoring and Analyzing, Networking/Routing Features, Network Address Translation (NAT) and DHCP, HTML Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Terminal Panel, Miscellaneous features (Health status monitoring, E-mail reports and alerts, Automatic Updates, Completely failsafe operation, One-click backup/restore and reset). TES AP adds extra functionality to already running TES Platform and doesn’t require operating system reinstallation.
For installing TES Platform on hardware server please follow instructions below:

  1. Download the latest ISO image from http://emperor.bcsatellite.net/TES.Platform.210.iso and make sure it was downloaded successfully. You may use any web download manager available like FlashGet, ReGet, Download Accelerator Plus, wget etc.
  2. Burn downloaded ISO file onto a blank CD. ISO file contains entire contents of a CD and should be burnt using special burning software like Nero Burning ROM, Easy CD Creator, Magic ISO etc.
  3. Boot the server with a CD prepared before
  4. Follow instructions on the screen to start the installation

Using HTML GUI as it is the most intuitive way to get started. It is meant to be used via mostly any web browser including Mozilla Firefox, Opera and others. Every component and routine of TES Platform and TES AP (if installed) can be configured and controlled through web administration panel.
The TES Platform software comes pre-configured with LAN and WAN network interface cards (NIC) assigned Internet Protocol (IP) addresses: 192.168.1.1/ 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 respectively. In order to access web based administration panel it is necessary to connect your PC or laptop via Ethernet cable (e.g. UTP CAT5) to the server with TES Platform with the subnet set as 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 (or 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0) and point your browser to the following URL: https://192.168.0.1:2244 or https://192.168.1.1:2244
In order to access HTML GUI and/or Terminal Panel use the following login data:
Username : tes_admin
Password : tes_admin

An example of physical connection with a cross-over Ethernet cable assumed between the 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.1.

To install TES Application Package, please follow instructions below :

  1. Connect TES Platform to Internet
  2. Go to “System Controls” section TES Platform’s HTML GUI

  3. Press “Install TES AP” button to move to the first step of installation
  4. Follow instructions on the screen: if you want to get Commercial TES AP please send TES Platform license key (shown in green) to BusinessCom representative or just press “Next” to proceed with Freeware TES AP installation
  5. As soon as TES AP installation is finished you will see confirmation message Figure and will need to re-init TES Platform so that TES AP components become accessible from HTML GUI and Terminal Access Panel (follow instructions on the screen clicking “Finish”).
  6. If installation was successful you will see [tes.free] or [tes.comm] initialization steps during TES Platform initialization.
