Configuration Rules (Advanced)

This section allows you to create general rules

that apply to the Internet connections of a

particular type. These can be general or very

specific. For example, you could create a rule that

applies to all WiMAX modems, or a rule that only

applies to an Internet source with a particular MAC

address.

The Configuration Rules list shows all rules that

you have created, as well as all of the default

rules. These are listed in the order they will be

applied. The most general rules are listed at the

top, and the most specific rules are at the bottom.

The router goes down the list and applies all rules

that fit for attached Internet sources. Configuration

settings farther down the list will override previous

settings.

Select any of these rules and click “Edit” to change

the settings for a rule. To create a new rule, click “Add.”

Data Usage (Advanced Mode only)

Data Usage Management & Alerts

allows you to create and manage rules that help control the data usage of a modem.

If you have a limited data plan or a price increase on your plan after a certain amount of usage, a

Data Usage Rule

can

help you track these amounts. You can set a rule to shut down use of a modem and/or send a message when you reach a

data usage amount you set.

Enable Data Usage:

Enabled/Disabled. (Default:

Disabled.)

When you select

Enabled

, you will see the

Data Usage

Agreement

shown to the right. The purpose of this

agreement is to ensure that you understand that the data

numbers for the MBR95 may not perfectly match those of

your carrier: CradlePoint cannot be held responsible. You

must accept the agreement by clicking

Yes

in order to

begin creating data usage rules.

Warning:

You should set your data limits lower than your

Data Allowance and regularly compare the numbers

provided by the router with the numbers from your carrier.
