What is Post Paid function?

A subscriber can access the Internet without the pre-defined usage time. The prints out tickets only show the username and password. The hot spot operator can also use the optional keypad to terminate the accounts. In this billing mode, the keypad is the only account generator which connects with SP-200 by PS/2 interface. By pressing the enter button on keypad, it can generates account tickets only with user name/ password on it. (Print out by SP-200). By pressing the”*”and SN number (6 numbers) end with enter, it can terminate the account and then print out the charge tickets for the accounts.

How do I configure the Post-Paid function?

1. In WEB GUI Advance/ Authentication, please select and enable the Built-in Authentication.

2. Select the Post Paid mode. And set up the value of idle time out. It is designed for saving the usage time of subscribers. If a subscriber idle more than the time value setting here (no internet access traffic from the PC of subscriber), the system will automatically logout the subscriber. After that, subscribers need to login the system again with same user name/ password.

3. Select and set up the account generator (Keypad). The detail setting please takes reference in the previous article which discusses the keypad accounting.

4. Final step, configure the login page. In the G-4100, you can select the login page as Standard/ Redirect/ Advance/ Frame page. For more detail setting of those pages, please take reference in the user manual. Here, we define the login page as Standard one. (In Post Paid mode, the system does not support Credit Card service.)

What are the account/subscriber behaviors in Post-Paid mode?
