Connection Budget Configuration page

You can configure budgets to be:

■Enforced, meaning that when you reach the usage limit for the assigned time period, the connection profile will allow no more connections. If the budget is not enforced, the system will merely keep track of its usage. To enforce this budget, check the Enforced checkbox.

■in Override mode. Checking this option allows you to exceed your budget during the current time period without tearing down active connections. At the end of the current time period this option is automatically deactivated. If you want to be able to exceed your enforced budget again, you must check this option for each new time period.

Checking Override disables call blocking, even if the call is over its limit. The override flag is automatically reset to be off at the start of a new period. This is so that you don’t need to set Enforced to off to by-pass the limit, and then forget to turn it back on when the new period starts.

■set to a predefined Limit of minutes of usage

■set to the Time Period, weekly or monthly, that you specify for your own budgeting requirements

■started on a specific day of the week or month by selecting the day you want to start from the pull-down menu. If you set a weekly schedule, you choose the day of the week to start it; if you set a monthly schedule, you choose the day of the month to start it.
