Chapter 9 Dynamic Subscriber Accounts

95

This chapter shows you how to set up and manage dynamic subscriber accounts.

Unlike a static account, a dynamic account is not permanent. 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 automatically.

Dynamic accounts are automatically generated either by pressing a button on an external 
statement printer connected to the CONSOLE port or using the web configurator (the 
Dynamic Account Operator Panel screen). 

The following figure displays the links for accessing the dynamic account configuration 
screens when you click System Setting, Accounting and Dynamic Account.

Figure 49   Dynamic Account: Links 

There are two ways you can create dynamic accounts on the VSG:

• using a statement printer connected to the VSG.
• using the web configurator.

Before you create dynamic accounts, you must specify the billing profile(s), the number of 
printout copies and the number of hours before the VSG automatically deletes an inactive 
account. Refer to the related sections for more information.

For creating dynamic accounts using a statement printer, make sure you connect the statement 
printer (sold separately) to the CONSOLE port on the VSG. Then, in the Dynamic Account 
Setting screen, select the profile setting for each button on the statement printer (refer to the 
user’s guide that comes with the statement printer). 

Note: You cannot manually add a dynamic account.
