Set the Data Limit for SMS Alert Messages
After you specify a plan limit for the data counter (see Set a Plan Limit for the Data
Counter on page 54), you can set the data limit for SMS alert messages as a percentage
of the data that is still available on your plan limit. For example, if you set the plan limit
for the data counter at 1 GB and the data limit for SMS alert messages at 10 percent,
the modem can generate data limit warnings for SMS alert messages if the data counter
falls below 100 MB. For information about setting up SMS alert messages, see Set Up
SMS Alert Messages on page 60.
To set the data limit for SMS alert messages:
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.
2.
In the address field of your browser, enter http://192.168.5.1.
The limited Dashboard page displays.
3.
Enter the modem password in the Sign In field.
See the modem label for the default password.
4. Click the Sign In button.
