The Traffic Meter page displays.
5. Select the Enable Traffic Meter check box.
6. To control the volume of Internet traffic, use either the traffic volume control feature or the connection
time control feature:
• Select the Traffic volume control by radio button and then select one of the following options:
• No Limit. No restriction is applied when the traffic limit is reached.
• Download only. The restriction is applied to incoming traffic only.

in MB in the Round up data volume for each connection by field.
