+===== Quota Specification Controls =====
-===== (Quota) Applies To =====
+==== (Quota) Applies To ====
-===== Max Upload =====
+This option specifies the hosts to which this quota applies.  The available options are:
+  * **Entire Local Network:**  The quota will apply to total aggregate bandwidth usage of all hosts on the network.  This is a single aggregate quota, not a set of quotas that applies to each individual host on the network.
+  * **Only the following Host(s):** The total aggregate bandwidth used by the specified set of IP addresses.  This is a single aggregate quota, not a set of quotas that applies to each individual host in the set.
+  * **All Individual Hosts Without Explicit Quotas:**  A quota with the specified parameters will be set for //each// host on the network that does not already have a quota specified.  This option is mutually exclusive with specifying a quota quota that applies to //All Hosts Without Explicit Quotas (Combined)//
+  * **All Hosts Without Explicit Quotas (Combined):** The quota will apply to total aggregate bandwidth usage of all hosts on the network without a quota specified for them. This is a single aggregate quota, not a set of quotas that applies to each individual host without an explicit quota set.  This option is mutually exclusive with specifying a quota that applies to //All Individual Hosts Without Explicit Quotas//
+==== Max Upload ====
+The maximum amount of bandwidth that can be uploaded before the quota is reached.  //Max Upload//, //Max Download//, and //Max Total Up+Down// cannot all be unlimited.
+==== Max Download ====
+The maximum amount of bandwidth that can be downloaded before the quota is reached.  //Max Upload//, //Max Download//, and //Max Total Up+Down// cannot all be unlimited.
+==== Max Total Up+Down ====
+The maximum total amount of bandwidth that can be used before the quota is reached.  //Max Upload//, //Max Download//, and //Max Total Up+Down// cannot all be unlimited.
+==== Quota Resets ====
+Whether the quota resets to zero usage every hour, every day, every week or every month.
+==== Reset Day ====
+The day of the month (or week, if quota resets weekly) that the quota should reset.
+==== Reset Hour ====
+The hour of the day the quota should reset.
+==== Quota Is Active ====
+The times of the day/week when the quota is active.  By default, the quota is always active.
+==== When Exceeded ====
+This option specifies what to happen when quota is exceeded.  By default, when quota is reached, the router will **Shut Down all Internet Access**.  Alternately, you can choose to **Throttle Bandwidth** when the quota is reached.  If you choose to throttle bandwidth two more controls will become visible, so you can specify the maximum upload/download speed when the quota is exceeded.
