Daily Limit
Daily Limit (MB) This is the user-specified daily data usage (in MBs) limit (24 hour limit).
You can specify data usage limits on a daily or monthly basis. A limit is
essentially a threshold that can trigger the software to take a user-
specified action if the usage goes above the threshold.
Note: The Daily Limit value MUST be expressed as an integer (i.e., a
whole number) and NOT as a fraction (e.g., “3.5”).
Caution: Data usage limits are approximate and based on reporting
conditions in ALEOS. Data usage may run over the amount set in this
field before ALEOS takes the specified action.
Tip: ALEOS reads the data usage every 3 to 5 minutes. If you are
using an application that requires high data usage, you can set an
alert to warn you when data usage reaches a safe limit that takes into
account the amount of data expected over the 3 to 5 minutes between
data usage readings. For information on how to set an alert, see
Events Reporting Configuration on page 207.
Current Daily Usage
(MB)
Displays the current daily data usage (in MBs). For example, if the
daily limit is 60, the current daily usage should not exceed 60. The
usage limit is 90%. You cannot access the cellular world if you exceed
the limit. You can, however, Telnet, OTA, etc.
Monthly Limit
Monthly Limit Units Select an MB (default) or GB unit for monthly data usage.
Monthly Limit This is the user-specified monthly data usage limit. Data usage
accumulates on a monthly basis and on the date you specified (the
“rolling month”). Data usage will accumulate during the month until the
end of the next billing period at which point the data usage totals will be
reset.
Note: The Monthly Limit value MUST be expressed as an integer (i.e.,
a whole number) and NOT as a fraction (e.g., “3.5”)
Caution: Data usage limits are approximate and based on reporting
conditions in ALEOS. Data usage may run over the amount set in this
field before ALEOS takes the specified action.
