Set Maximum Data Transfer Rates for a RAS Sender Address

Note   You must have Modify permission for the Site security object class or instance to perform this procedure.

  4. In the RAS Sender Address Properties dialog box, click the Rate Limits tab.
  5. Click Limited to specified maximum transfer rates by hour.
  6. Select a time period during which the data transfer rate limits will be in effect by dragging the rectangle over the hours you want. The selected time period appears in Time period (for example, 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.).
