Chapter 7
Accounting
This chapter shows you how to set up and manage subscriber accounts.
7.1 About Subscriber Accounts
Once the time allocated to a dynamic account is used up or a dynamic account remains un-used after the
expiration time, the account is deleted from the account list. Accounts are automatically generated either by
pressing the connected exclusive printer’s button or using the web configurator (the Account Generator
Panel screen).
7.2 Discount Price Plan
You can configure a custom discount pricing plan. This is useful for providing reduced rates for purchases
of longer periods of time. You can charge higher rates per unit at lower levels (fewer units purchased) and
lower rates per unit at higher levels (more units purchased).
The discount price plan only works when the hot spot operator does the billing through the statement
printer or the web-based account generator panel. The discount price plan does not apply to subscribers
purchasing access time online with a credit card.
7.2.1 Charge By Levels
The discount price plan gives you the option to charge by levels. This allows you to charge the rate at each
successive level from the first level (most expensive per unit) to the highest level (least expensive per unit)
that the total purchase reaches.
Otherwise you can disable the charge by level function and charge all of the time units only at the highest
(least expensive) level that the total purchase reaches.
See section 7.3.1 for an example of the charge by levels accounting function.
