Budget Setup
Enable Budget
Control
Select
Enable
to set a monthly limit for the user account of the installed 3G card. You can
set a limit on the total traffic and/or call time. The Device takes the actions you specified
when a limit is exceeded during the month.
Time Budget
Select this and specify the amount of time (in hours) that the 3G connection can be used
within one month. If you change the value after you configure and enable budget control,
the Device resets the statistics.

(Seamless Rate Adaption) functions. The Device supports the PhyR retransmission scheme. PhyR is
a retransmission scheme designed to provide protection against noise on the DSL line. It improves
voice, video and data transmission resilience by utilizing a retransmission buffer.

ADSL over PTM
Select
Enable
to use ADSL over PTM. Since PTM has less overhead than ATM, some ISPs
use ADSL over PTM for better performance.
Annex M
You can enable
Annex M
for the Device to use double upstream mode to increase the
maximum upstream transfer rate.
PhyR US
Enable or disable
PhyR US
(upstream) for upstream transmission to the WAN. PhyR US
should be enabled if data being transmitted upstream is sensitive to noise. However,
enabling PhyR US can decrease the US line rate. Enabling or disabling PhyR will require the
CPE to retrain. For PhyR to function, the DSLAM must also support PhyR and have it
enabled.
