Setting Up a “Normal” Billing Plan
1. If required, click on the Enable check box to enable (make active) this billing
plan.
2. Define a “label” for this billing plan in the Label field.
3. Enter a description for this billing plan in the Description of Service field.
4. Define the Pricing schemes for this billing plan (rate per minute, per hour, per
day, per week, and per month).
5. Define the Time Unit of the billable event (either Minute, Hour, Day, Week, or
Month). One time unit is assigned to each billing plan.
6. Define the Up (to network) and Down (to subscribers) bandwidth range for this
billing plan.
7. Define the DHCP Pool (public or private) -- see following note.
8. Click on the Submit this Plan button to save your changes and establish this
billing plan. Alternatively, you can click on the
Delete this Plan button if you
want to delete this plan, or click on the
Reset button if you want to reset all the
values to their previous state.
9. Click on the Back button at any time to return to the Internal Billing Options
Setup (previous) screen.
10. Repeat Steps 2 through 11 for each billing plan. You can enable (make active)
any or all of the available billing plans.
Each plan must have a unique label, different from other plans.
The HSG allows you to define multiple billing plans with different time
units at the same time. For example, you can define one billing plan that
changes by the hour (e.g. $2.95 per hour) and a second plan that
charges per day (e.g. $12.95 per day).
The “public” option requires IP Upsell to be turned on, otherwise
subscribers will receive private IP addresses.
