Traffic Policy
Traffic policy refers to the action applied to a device to control its traffic. Traffic blocking allows you to "Block" Packet data, SMS, Voice, or all services without having to suspend or cancel your device.
From this window, you can apply a traffic block or remove a block if one is already applied. You can select to block an individual service, or if you select Block all, this will prevent the device from registering and block all services on the device.
Once you apply the traffic policy, the time that it takes for the traffic block or unblock to take effect will vary depending on the service:
|
Service |
Latency |
|---|---|
|
Data |
up to 8 minutes |
|
SMS |
none (block/unblock is immediate) |
|
Voice |
none (block/unblock is immediate) |
- Only "Block all" and "Unblock all" functionality is available for Coverage SIMs.
- You cannot choose to unblock traffic that is not included your device's service profile. For example, if the device's service profile does not include voice, voice traffic is automatically blocked and you will not have the ability to unblock it through this window.
Rate Plan and Pool Name
To change your device's rate plan or pool name, you also need to select an Effective date.
By default, rate plans are in effect for a full billing cycle, and changes become effective at the beginning of the next billing cycle.
However, your service agreement will tell you if it is possible to change the rate plan sometime during a billing cycle. This is a Mid Cycle Rate Plan (MCRP) change option. You can specify an effective date for changes to the rate plan if your account has an MCRP option. This option allows you to set the date that the new rate plan will be enforced. The earliest effective date for a change is tomorrow and the latest is 60 days from today.
The MCRP option is not available for devices on a prepaid billing plan.
Service Name
Select a service profile name for your device from the drop-down menu.
A dialog box appears, to confirm if you really want to change the service name.
The confirmation dialog box ensures that you are aware about consequence of the action. For example, the device registration is cancelled and you may not able to communicate with the device for the next 90 minutes (maximum).
Click Yes to continue the process of changing the Service Name. The appropriate identifier is generated and displayed in the Device updates dialog. Note that when changing the service name, the new service name must be of the same carrier as the current service name.
Alternatively, click No to discard the request and no change will occur. Moreover, the value of identifier is 0.
