CHAPTER 26 Billing 26.1 Overview You can use the built-in billing function to setup billing profiles. A billing profile describes how to charge users. This chapter also shows you how to select an accounting method, configure a discount price plan or use an online payment service by credit card. 26.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter • Use the General screen (see Section 26.2 on page 305) to configure the general billing settings, such as the accounting method, currency unit and the SSID profiles to which the settings are applied. • Use the Billing Profile screen (see Section 26.3 on page 307) to configure the billing profiles for the web-based account generator and each button on the connected statement printer. • Use the Discount screen (see Section 26.4 on page 314) to enable and configure discount price plans. • Use the Payment Service screen (see Section 26.5 on page 316) to enable online payment service and configure the service pages. 26.1.2 What You Need to Know Accumulation Accounting Method The accumulation accounting method allows multiple re-logins until the allocated time period or until the user account is expired. The UAG accounts the time that the user is logged in for Internet access. Time-to-finish Accounting Method The time-to-finish accounting method is good for one-time logins. Once a user logs in, the UAG stores the IP address of the user's computer for the duration of the time allocated. Thus the user does not have to enter the user name and password again for re-login within the allocated time. Once activated, the user account is valid until the allocated time is reached even if the user disconnects Internet access for a certain period within the allocated time. For example, Joe purchases a one-hour time-to-finish account. He starts using the Internet for the first 20 minutes and then disconnects his Internet access to go to a 20-minute meeting. After the meeting, he only has 20 minutes left on his account. UAG Series User's Guide 304
