Creating a Free Billing Plan

Under some circumstances you may want to offer free Internet access to your subscribers. For example, you might
offer a low bandwidth connection for free but charge for faster connections.
Follow these steps to make one of your six billing plans a free billing plan:
1. Login to the AP's Web browser interface.
2. Click Subscriber > Billing > Plan x (select a Plan number between 0 and 5).
3. Place a check mark in the Enable Plan box to make the plan active.
4. Enter a name for the plan in the Plan Label field.
5. Enter a description for this billing option in the Description of Service field (140 characters maximum).
6. Set all Rates to 0.00.
7. Define the Upstream Bandwidth and Downstream Bandwidth range for this free plan.
8. Define the DHCP Pool: Private or Public. (Typically, a free plan is a private address pool).
9. Click OK.
