Configuring Bandwidth Notification Billing

The Bandwidth Notification service module emails your clients when they have reached a designated threshold for bandwidth usage. Usage is checked daily and if your client is close to or over their allotment they will receive an email.

In order to begin billing for this service, you need to configure Ubersmith. Once all the necessary pieces have been configured, any current or new service based on the service plan will be ready. The configuration steps are as follows:

1. Configure the Bandwidth Monitoring device module 
2. Add the Bandwidth Notification service module to your service plan.
3. Configure the service module (below).
4. Create a bandwidth billing service 
5. Configure the service plan with the service module fields (below).
6. Associate your device to your service
