Limit the data transmitted over this interface
On W-WAN networks (where charging is based on the amount of data transferred as opposed to
time spent on-line), this parameter specifies a data limit after which the router will create an
entry in the event log to indicate that this amount of data has been transferred. For example, if
your monthly tariff includes up to 5Mb of data before you are charged an excess, you might set
the Data limit warning level to 4000 . This would cause the router to place a warning entry in the
event log once you had transferred 4Mb. You could use this event to trigger an email alert
message, SNMP trap or SMS alert message.
Issue a warning event after
The maximum data to be transmitted before a warning entry is generated in the Event Log. You
can select kilobytes, megabytes or gigabytes via the drop-down box.
Stop data from being transmitted after
The maximum amount of data that may be transferred before the router locks the interface and
prevent further transfer. Along with the Issue a warning event after parameter, networks use
this setting when the tariff is based on the amount of data transferred to help prevent excess
charges being incurred. You can select kilobytes , megabytes or gigabytes via the drop-down
box.
Reset the data limit on the x day of the month
If you wish to automatically unlock a locked interface at the start of a new billing period, set this
parameter to the appropriate day of the month (from 1 to 28 ). When this date is reached the
router will unlock the interface and data transfer may resume. If the parameter is set to 0 ,
automatic unlocking will not occur and manual unlocking will be necessary (by clicking on the
Clear Total Data Transferred button on the appropriate Diagnostics-Statistics > PPP > PPP n
page. This parameter will also reset the statistics for the Data limit warning level (kb).
The factory default does not include any DSL settings and so when the router is first installed,
the following message appears:
This DSL PVC is not assigned to any PPP interface.
