Policy “First Available Hunting,”
“Least Used First,”
or “Round Robin”
Select one of the three policies, as appropriate for how you want the
channel(s) to be used.
• First Available Hunting will search through the available channels
and use the first SIM that presents itself as available for use.
• Least Used first will compare the calling plans for each channel
and select the one that has the most remaining minutes
available. This is determined by dividing the Minutes remaining /
Days remaining and the channel with the largest result remaining
will be used first.
• With Round Robin load balancing, the channels are treated as a
list and once a channel is used, it goes to the bottom of the list
and the next channel comes to the top of the list and is ready for
use.
Select Channels (check boxes) Check or un-check the channel boxes to have this load balancing group
applied only to the needed channels.
