Billing

Chapter 9 - Billing

Billing is charging the subscriber money for using the service.

Billing

The SMS2000 is capable of performing billing by using an external server (OCS or RADIUS). For more information on using the OCS for billing, see the OCS User’s Guide.

For more information on RADIUS, see Chapter 13, “Using SMS2000 with a RADIUS Server.” Scenarios for performing these functions in various configurations are described below.

Table 9-1 shows how billing is performed with no external server, with RADIUS, and with the OCS.
