Time-to-finish Accounting Method
The time-to-finish accounting method is good for one-time logins. Once a user logs in, the ZyWALL/
USG stores the IP address of the user's computer for the duration of the time allocated. Thus the
user does not have to enter the user name and password again for re-login within the allocated
time. Once activated, the user account is valid until the allocated time is reached even if the user
disconnects Internet access for a certain period within the allocated time. For example, Joe
purchases a one-hour time-to-finish account. He starts using the Internet for the first 20 minutes
and then disconnects his Internet access to go to a 20-minute meeting. After the meeting, he only
has 20 minutes left on his account.
