Activation Period: Use Activation Period for setting the amount of time for the activation fee. The
options are: 15, 30 and 60 minutes.
Pre-paid access: set to yes if you want that users select the amount of time they are going to buy
before using the Internet. Set to no, if you prefer that users have unlimited access and are billed in
the end of their sessions by the amount of time (or traffic) that they used the Internet.
Print server automatic billing: if the WGPrintServer license is enabled, set this option to yes if you
want that the user‟s printouts are directly billed to the front-office.
Check-in profile: there are 7 pre-defined check-in profiles. When a user is checked-in at the
front-office, he/she will be automatically assigned to one of the following service profiles:
CHECKIN_DEFAULT – the user will have no restrictions to use the Internet;
CHECKIN_1H – the user will be granted one hour of free Internet Access and afterwards he
will have to buy more time;
CHECKIN_2H - the user will be granted two hours of free Internet Access and afterwards
he will have to buy more time;
CHECKIN_24H – the user will be granted one day (absolute time) of free Internet Access
and afterwards he will have to buy more time;
CHECKIN_1W - the user will be granted one week (absolute time) of free Internet Access
and afterwards he will have to buy more time;
CHECK_IN_PRE_PAID – the user will not be granted any time of free Internet Access and
will be prompted, at the login, to choose among one of the service profiles defined at the
WGManager interface.
CHECK_IN_POST_PAID - the user will not be granted any time of free Internet Access and
will be allowed to access the Internet after inserting the correct username and password.
At logout, the system will compute the amount that corresponds to the used time and will
send that amount to the client‟s account at the front-office.
It is possible to add more profiles to this list. Just go to the WGManager interface and create a new
service profile. Afterwards, you can come back to this form and select the new profile in the drop-
down list.
Extension time: check this box only in pre-paid access, if you want that the system informs the
user that the time he bought is about to expire and offer the possibility to extend that time.
Notes for Pay Per Use Algorithm: This algorithm introduces price differentiation per period of
usage. The user will be billed for the periods that his sessions have crossed. A minimum of one and
a maximum of four periods can be set, each having its own price tag, and filling up a 24 hour
period. The 24hr period is needed and mandatory, i.e., setting a single entry with a 24hr period set
or two entries of 12 hours each (12h/24h). The cost per minute will consider previous user sessions
