The Connection Limit section allows the administrator to set a host/node limit on the 3G connection. This feature is especially useful for deployments where the 3G connection is used as an overflow or in load-balanced situations to avoid over-taxing the connection.
In the Max Hosts field, enter the maximum number of hosts to allow when this interface is connected. The default value is “0”, which allows an unlimited number of nodes.
