Assign Trialservice
This function helps you to assign trialservices for an access user. To do that, make sure: (1) At least one service that uses a periodic accounting policy (such as a flat rate service) exists and its service billing term is not expired. (2) At least an applicable service with the same service suffix as one of the services described in the former condition exists. When the service billing term expires, INC automatically deletes the expired services and applies for the assign trialservices. For example, an access user uses a service named flat rate with suffix cams123 and the service billing term is from 2010-07-02 to 2010-08-01. For the user, you can pre-apply for a service whose suffix is cams123 and that uses an accounting policy before the preceding service expires. Suppose you pre-apply for a service named usage-based. INC automatically deletes the flat rate service and applies for the usage-based service on August 1, 2010. After that, the access user starts to use the usage-based service. You can pre-apply for more services with other service suffixes for the user.
Operation Procedure
- Click the User tab on the top navigation bar and select Access User > All Access Users from the navigation tree.
- Click an account to view its details. If at least one service that uses a periodic accounting policy, such as a flat rate type service, exists and the service does not expire, a Assign Trialservice link appears in Accounting Actions on the right. Click the link.
- Select one or more services. Make sure that each service you select has the same service suffix as an existing service, and you select no more than one service for each service suffix. If the service requires IP address allocation, type the IP address.
- Click OK.
Precautions
- Cancelling a service for an access user also cancels the associated assign trialservice, if any.
- If you do not have the service pre-application authority, no assign trialservice link appears in Accounting Actions, but you can view all assign trialservices on the page.
- INC changes services for access users with assign trialservice configured at 00:25 and 00:59 a.m. everyday. INC does not change services for access users suspended or to be suspended. For online users, INC logs them off and then changes their services.
