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 one or both WAN ports.
To monitor traffic limits on each of the WAN ports:
1. Select Monitoring > Traffic Meter from the menu, and then the WAN1 Traffic Meter tab.
The WAN1 Traffic Meter screen is displayed (see Figure 9-1 on page 9-2).
