Enabling the Traffic Meter
If your ISP charges by traffic volume over a given period of time, or if you want to study traffic
types over a period of time, you can activate the traffic meter for the broadband port.
To monitor traffic limits on the broadband port:
1. Select Administration from the main menu and Traffic Meter from the submenu. The
Broadband Traffic Meter screen displays (see Figure 6-12 on page 6-28).
2. Enable the traffic meter by clicking the Yes radio button under Do you want to enable Traffic
Metering on WAN? The traffic meter will record the volume of Internet traffic passing
through the broadband port. Select from the following options:
• No Limit. Any specified restrictions will not be applied when traffic limit is reached.
• Download only. The specified restrictions will be applied to the incoming traffic only
• Both Directions. The specified restrictions will be applied to both incoming and outgoing
traffic only
• Monthly Limit. Use this option if your ISP charges for additional traffic. Enter the
monthly volume limit and select the desired behavior when the limit is reached. If enabled,
enter the monthly volume limit and select the desired behavior when the limit is reached.
