Table 37: Add New Accounting List Fields
Field
Description
Accounting Methods This area includes the Available Methods and Selected Methods fields. If a list uses multiple
accounting methods, the order in which you move the method from the Available Methods
field to the Selected Methods field determines the order in which the device attempts to
send accounting notifications. If the device successfully sends the accounting notifications
by using the first method, the next method is not attempted.
Available Methods
The accounting methods that can be used for the accounting list. To set the accounting
method, select the method in the Available Methods field and click the right arrow to
move it into the Selected Methods field.
Selected Methods
The accounting methods currently configured for the list. When multiple methods are in
this field, the order in which the methods are listed is the order in which the methods will
be used. If the device is unable to send accounting notifications by using the first method,
the device attempts to send notifications by using the second method. To remove a
method from this field, select it and click the left arrow to return it to the Available
Methods area.
