Applications Configuration; Data Usage - Sierra Wireless AirLink ES440 User Manual

11: Applications Configuration

Note: Before configuring
Data Usage, ensure that
the AirLink device receives
date and time information
from the cellular network.
You can also use the
ACEmanager SNTP client
to receive time from an
SNTP server. (See
(SNTP) on page 189.) If
necessary, contact your
Mobile Network Operator
to confirm that the cellular
network provides date and
time information to
connected devices.

The Applications tab consists of a Data Usage section and an
ALEOS Application Framework section.

Data Usage

The Data Usage feature on the Applications tab in conjunction with
Events Reporting provides you with a way to actively monitor cellular
data usage.
Once data usage is configured, you can use event reporting to:
• Actively monitor the cellular data usage by configuring monthly
and/or daily usage level thresholds that result in notifications
being sent to you (e.g. email or SNMP Trap) when the threshold
is reached.
Time
Note:
You can configure Events Reporting to notify you when the threshold set in
Data Usage is reached, but ALEOS does not block further access to the
mobile network.
Note: ALEOS Data Usage is approximate and should not be compared with
data usage recorded by the Mobile Network Operator.
Sierra Wireless is NOT responsible for data overages.
