Cellular Usage Tracking
Note: The Cellular Usage Tracking feature is not an official value of the usage a carrier would
report. Due to possible differences in these values, cellular usage tracking should be used as an
aid for gauging how much data the system is using over a period rather than as a reliable method
to determine billing costs.

Description
Specifies whether or not the cellular data storage usage tracking
feature is enabled.
Specifies the day of the month (1 to 28) that the data plan begins. For
example, AT&T service in the USA is billed from the 19th of the month
through the 18th of the following month. This is the day that the Usage
Value Counter resets on.
Maximum number of megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB) of WAN data
usage before 3G communications are shut down until the next plan
start day. You can also choose Unlimited. It provides a visual status of
how much data is being used.
Specifies whether or not the ICX35-HWC will voluntarily deactivate
cellular data if it reaches its data plan limit. You can select Disabled or
Enabled. If you select Disabled, the ICX35-HWC will attempt to
transfer data even if the Plan Size is exceeded, but the cellular data
service provider may halt data, reduce the data rate, or charge
additional fees. A 10% buffer is automatically used to help prevent
data overages because the gateway usage number isn't
instantaneously updated and it may be possible that some amount of
byte count loss occurs due to a device reset. Enabled tells the ICX35-
HWC to stop transferring data after the Plan (size) limit is reached.
