Data Usage & Limit
The Data Usage & Limit setting is implemented for models with built-in 4G/3G modem and for external compatible QMI modems. It allows you to set up a warning and limit the amount of traffic transmitted in the 4G/3G network according to your provider's tariff plan.
The setting is made in the device's web interface in the Data Usage & Limit page of the Internet menu. To enable it, you need to specify the amount of traffic according to your tariff plan in the Set data limit field. The preset warning threshold as a percentage of the budget value can be changed in the Set data warning field. There is also a monthly counting mode, starting from a selected day. To use it, set the option Usage cycle data reset and specify the day of the month to reset the meter automatically.
Important
Both incoming and outgoing traffic is counted. The results may differ from your ISP as the traffic volume is measured on your Keenetic. When setting the limit and warning threshold, we recommend that you consider situations where there may be a difference in the numbers and set the threshold and limit with some reserve. The traffic counting function requires automatic time synchronisation and a correctly set time zone.
If you need to adjust the volume of the traffic counted (e.g. the SIM card was used in another device), you can edit the amount of data transmitted. Press Edit and set the required value — the counting will continue from there.
For your convenience, you can enable notifications when the traffic warning level is reached and when the specified limit level is reached. The notifications will be sent by SMS to the user's phone number.
Important
SMS is sent according to the mobile operator's tariff plan on the installed SIM card. Check with the mobile network operator whether your tariff allows sending SMS. Also, note that, as a rule, SMS sending is a paid service for a subscriber.
By activating the Notify via SMS option, specify the phone number for sending SMS messages and the text of the message to be sent when the event occurs. A maximum of 3 mobile phone numbers can be set.
You can also activate the Disconnect from the network option so that when the specified traffic volume limit is reached, disconnection from the ISP network (the network used for data transmission) takes place. In this case, the router will not transmit traffic on the mobile network, so it is not counted on the ISP side.
If you select the Disconnect from the network setting, the Mobile Network LED on the case will be blinking when the limit level is reached.
Notice
Sending SMS messages will continue to work even if the Disconnect from the network option is triggered. Data transmission via the mobile network is then terminated.
If the Usage cycle data reset option is activated, on the day the period starts, the counted traffic will be reset to zero, and the network connectivity to the Internet connection will be restored.
