Duration-based Billing Plans
The purpose of this feature is to let hotels create billing plans that work in a similar
fashion to pre-paid telephone cards. This means that an operator can set the HSG's
Internal Web Server (IWS) to allow users online on a time "X" over period "Y" basis.
Standard billing plans (where time "X" = period "Y") can be used concurrently with
"X" over "Y" plans. For example, multiple plans with flexible billing event options
can be rolled out, such as:
Plan A: 24 hours, 256kbit/s downstream, 128Kbit/s upstream, public IP
address, $15 charge.
Plan B: 8 hours to be used over 5 days, 512Kbit/s downstream, 256Kbit/s
upstream, private IP address, $35 charge.
Plan C: 1 week, 1Mbit/s downstream, 1Mbit/s upstream, public IP address,
$99 charge.
