7. In the SSID Profiles section, specify the following settings for any individual SSID for
which you want to set a percentage of the total monthly data volume limit:
a. No Data Volume Limit. To specify that the data volume limit applies to the SSID,
clear the No Data Volume Limit check box for the SSID.
If you leave the check box selected, no data volume limit applies to the SSID,
which means that the SSID is assigned 100 percent. (If you do not set a data
volume limit for any SSID, each SSID is assigned 100 percent.)
b. Profile Data Volume Limit (%). To set a percentage of the monthly data volume
limit that you specified in Step 6, move the slider to the percentage that you want
to set.
For example, if the monthly data volume limit is 500000 MB and you move the
slider to 60 percent, the volume limit for the SSID is 300000 MB (300 GB). That
means that the SSID cannot consume more data than 300 GB. However, the actual
available data volume for the SSID might be less than 300 GB if the data
consumption on other SSIDs causes the total monthly data volume limit to be
reached before the SSID consumes 300 GB.
c. Per Client. If you set a percentage for an SSID, set a monthly data volume limit
that applies to each WiFi client of the SSID by entering the monthly data volume
limit in MB per WiFi client.
Take the total monthly data volume limit and the percentage that you set for the
SSID into account. For example, if the total monthly data volume limit is 500000
MB, the percentage for the SSID is 60 percent, and you expect about 30 clients
to connect to the SSID, you could set a data volume of 10000 MB (10 GB) per
WiFi client of the SSID.
Note: When the remaining data volume reaches 10 percent of the monthly data
volume limit for a WiFi client, the data rate for that WiFi client is restricted to
256 Kbps. However, the WiFi client can continue to consume data as long as the
volume limit for the SSID is not yet reached.
