Traffic shaping is an optional software feature in the IQ 710 that enables the user to manage bandwidth
allocation. The data flow model field allows the user to program the unit for traffic shaping. If traffic shap-
ing software has been purchased, the data flow model should be set to shaping enabled. If the traffic shap-
ing software has not been purchased, the data flow model should be set to monitor only. The default value
is
M
ONITOR
O
NLY
. Changing this parameter will reboot the unit.

The IQ 710 has 100 shaping resources, i.e., can perform traffic shaping on 100 items (PVCs and/or appli-
cations).

is the total number of PVCs and applications for which traffic shaping
is enabled. If the unit is power cycled, the IQ retains a list of PVCs and applications for which traffic shap-
ing was enabled. Once power is restored, if a PVC or application with traffic shaping enabled is not redis-
covered, it is held as a

even though it is not currently being used.
For example, assume that 40 PVCs and applications have traffic shaping enabled and the unit is power
cycled. After the power cycle, only 15 PVCs and applications are rediscovered. Therefore, there are 25

Menu Viewing Options
Some statistics are given in two formats: view by
I
NTERVALS
and view by
D
AYS
. Once a viewing format is
selected, the statistics can be viewed horizontally or vertically. The viewing choices are described in the
following sections.
Selecting a View Format (Intervals or Days)
View by Interval
In this view, the first interval selection is a running total for the current day. All other selections
are grouped into user-configured time frames with the most recent information displayed first. The
first interval’s header displays the current date, and the interval selections which follow display the
time the intervals began. In order to categorize the intervals by date also, the midnight time stamp
is replaced with the date. Note that this column still represents the timed interval (not a day's worth
of information).
