Data Usage - Cradlepoint COR IBR350 Manual

Data Usage
Data Usage Management & Alerts allows you to create and manage rules that help control the data usage of a modem. If you have a limited data
plan or a price increase on your plan after a certain amount of usage, a Data Usage Rule can help you track these amounts. You can set a rule to
shut down use of a modem and/or send a message when you reach a data usage amount you set.
When you select Enable Data Usage, you will see the Data Usage Agreement shown below. The purpose of this agreement is to ensure that
you understand that the data numbers for your router might not perfectly match those of your carrier: Cradlepoint cannot be held responsible. You
must accept the agreement by clicking "Yes" in order to begin creating data usage rules.
Warning: You should set your data limits lower than your carrier data allowance and regularly compare the numbers provided by the router with
the numbers from your carrier.
Data Usage Rules
The Date Usage Rule display shows basic information for each rule you have created (including rules created with a template). The following
information is displayed:
• Rule Name
• Enabled: True/False
• Date for Rule Reset
• Cycle Type: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly
• Cap: Amount in MB.
• Current Usage: Shown as an amount in MB, as a percentage of the cap, and in a bar graph.
Click Add to configure a new Data Usage Rule.
Data Usage Rule – page 1 Rule Name: Give your rule a name for later recognition.
WAN Selection: Select from the dropdown list of currently attached WAN devices.
Assigned Usage in MB: Enter a cap amount in megabytes. 1024 megabytes equals 1 gigabyte.
Rule Enabled: (Default: Enabled.) Click to disable.
Use with Load Balancing: When checked, the Load Balancing feature is allowed to use the thresholds and metrics of this rule when making balance
decisions. This causes Load Balancing to spread the data usage between interfaces according to the assigned usage rather than bandwidth. This
is a best effort to keep all interfaces with these rules at a similar percentage utilization of data (e.g. 10%, 50%, 90%) as the cycle progresses, rather
