This means that an operator can set the AG 3100’s Internal WebServer (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. Forexample, multiple plans with flexible billing event options can be rolled out, such as:z Plan A: 24 hours, 256kbit/s downstream, 128Kbit/s upstream, public IP address, $15charge.z Plan B: 8 hours to be used over 5 days, 512Kbit/s downstream, 256Kbit/s upstream,private IP address, $35 charge.z Plan C: 1 week, 1Mbit/s downstream, 1Mbit/s upstream, public IP address, $99charge.In addition to credit card billing, Property Management Systems used by hotels are alsosupported along with the internal data base of the AG 3100 and billing via Nomadix' secureXML API.See also, Assigning a PMS Service {PMS} on page 112 (see following note).1.
