Chapter 1 Introduction

Page Sets

Note The value in the Port Map applies only to the Subscription policy and the RADIUS policy if no limit is passed to the BBSM Server as a RADIUS attribute from the RADIUS server or selected by the end user on the web page.

Accounting Method

An accounting method is selected to tell BBSM how end users are to be billed for Internet services. Refer to Chapter 6, “Pricing and Page Set Management,” to learn how to define billing.

As part of the configuration process, Windows Notepad is used to customize BBSM pricing, bandwidth, or session information. This information is located as Active Server Page (ASP) files with an .asp extension in the c:\atcom\ekgnkm folder.

The accounting policies built-in are:

ICS Credit Card

Cruise Line

Hotel Billing

RADIUS Accounting

You can add new accounting methods to the system using the BBSM Software Developers Kit.

Page Sets

A Page Set is a group of ASP files that allow you to define the end user experience from first impression through disconnect. A typical group of ASP pages or set of pages can contain the following:

A connect page

A connected page

An authorization fail page

A welcome back page

A Page Set allows you to associate an access policy and accounting method with a specific port. Different policies contain different sets of pages depending on the BBSM features for each port. When configuring ports, you can use one of the default Page Sets that comes with BBSM, additional sample Page Sets from the BBSM Software Developers Kit, or you can have your web developer create a set of pages of your own.

Sets of example pages have been shipped with BBSM for default policies such as the following:

Hotel PMS

Credit card

Cruise line

RADIUS

Subscription

The set of default web pages can be used as they appear, or they can be customized by completely redefining the template pages.
