Depending on your tariff plan, mobile or landline operators may activate bandwidth throttling if a certain data volume is exceeded, also for flatrate plans. The device captures the amount of data sent over each WAN interface, archives the values for up to 12 months, and can perform actions when a specified threshold is reached. The budgets also apply to VPN, PPTP, or all other kinds of connection.
At the change of the month, the device archives the data for the previous month and resets the counter to zero for the current month. You can view the current data volume and the archived information in LANmonitor or in the WEBconfig status menu.
You can configure budget monitoring under .
If the device should send an e-mail when your data volume is exceeded, you can enter the required address into the field E-mail address.
