AG 5000

The AAA Structure

The AG 5000's Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) module
enables the solution provider to provision, track, and bill new or returning
subscribers. This includes:
Allowing the solution provider (for example, a hotel) to bill its guests for the
high speed network services it provides, track usage on the network, and
deny service to those guests who have not paid.
Allowing the solution provider to bill subscribers for services rendered,
either directly on their hotel bill (in the hotel scenario), via a mailed invoice,
or directly to the subscriber's credit card account.
The following illustration shows the functional relationship between the AG 5000's
internal modules and the external support systems.
