Time Budget

Select this and specify the amount of time (in hours) that the 3G

 

 

connection can be used within one month. If you change the value

 

 

after you configure and enable budget control, the ZyWALL resets the

 

 

statistics.

 

 

 

 

Data Budget

Select this and specify how much downstream and/or upstream data

 

 

(in Mega bytes) can be transmitted via the 3G connection within one

 

 

month.

 

 

Select Download to set a limit on the downstream traffic (from the

 

 

ISP to the ZyWALL).

 

 

Select Upload to set a limit on the upstream traffic (from the ZyWALL

 

 

to the ISP).

 

 

Select Download/Upload to set a limit on the total traffic in both

 

 

directions.

 

 

If you change the value after you configure and enable budget

Click this button to reset the time and data budgets immediately. The

 

 

count starts over with the 3G connection’s full configured monthly

 

 

time and data budgets. This does not affect the normal monthly

 

 

budget restart; so if you configured the time and data budget

 

 

counters to reset on the second day of the month and you use this

 

 

button on the first, the time and data budget counters will still reset

 

 

on the second.

the current connection, but you cannot build a new connection if the

 

 

existing connection is disconnected.
