5.1 Overview
After authentication to the user interface with user name and password as described in section 3.1.5 an
overview is shown for the site. The overview provides total usage graphs for the configured periods
(see section 4.2), such as last hour, day, week, month, quarter and year (see Figure 5-4). The periods
can be changed using the tabs above the graph (see Figure 5-1).

Graphs display traffic variation over time in rates of octet, packet, packet-per-octet or flow. The unit
can be chosen and is displayed at the y-axis (see Figure 5-2). Positive values show sent traffic and
negative values refer to received traffic (see Figure 5-3).
