Accounting
10.1  Overview
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 a button on 
a connected exclusive printer or using the web configurator (the Account 
Generator Panel
 screen).
10.1.1  What You Can Do in this Chapter
Use the Accounting screen (
) to set up and manage 
subscriber accounts.
10.1.2  What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through the chapter.
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 a 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.
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.
