The plan data counter resets automatically when the next billing cycle starts, and the
session data counter resets automatically for each session. You can also change the
billing start date for display only or reset the data counter (see Change the Billing Cycle
Counter or Reset the Data Counter on page 55).

The device can be a computer that is directly connected to the modem or a client
from a router that is connected to the modem.
2.
In the address field of your browser, enter http://192.168.5.1.
The limited Dashboard page displays.

The Monthly Usage section displays the data usage for the current billing cycle and
the number of days left in the billing cycle. The Session section displays the data
usage and time for the current session. The Session section displays only if the
modem is connected to the mobile broadband network.
By default, the billing cycle starts on the first day of the month. You can change when
the monthly data counter resets by changing the billing cycle start date and you can
reset the data counter manually. For more information, see Change the Billing Cycle
Counter or Reset the Data Counter on page 55.
Set a Plan Limit for the Data Counter
You can set a plan limit for the modem’s data counter. A plan limit enables the modem
to generate SMS alert messages to warn you about your data usage (see Set Up SMS
Alert Messages on page 60). The amount of data that you enter is for tracking only and
does not affect the actual data that is billed by your mobile broadband provider.
To set a plan limit for the data counter:
1.
Launch a web browser from a device that is connected to the modem.
The device can be a computer that is directly connected to the modem or a client
from a router that is connected to the modem.
