Basic Choice / Rincon
Full / Rincon
We will also use two different subscription types to charge subscribers for
IPTV services:
1.
Subscriptions for configuring LivingRoom services.
The LivingRoom module will recognize such subscriptions by
the slash in their name. The naming convention for these
subscriptions is <Package> / <Service Region>.
In our example, we need four subscriptions. If necessary, we
can add them later to existing accounts:
o
Expanded / Bonaire
o
Expanded / Rincon
o
Premium / Bonaire
o
Premium / Rincon
Please note that there is no need to create a subscription for
the Basic package, since both service plans already include it.
2.
Subscriptions for charging accounts in PortaBilling
®
.
We will use the naming convention <Service Plan> (Service
Region) so that the LivingRoom module will ignore such
subscriptions. You may also use your own method of naming,
as long as it does not use the slash character.
In our example, we need four subscriptions:
o
Basic Choice (Bonaire)
o
Basic Choice (Rincon)
o
Full (Bonaire)
o
Full (Rincon)
Please note that obligatory subscriptions (assigned to an
account through a product) are always ignored by the
LivingRoom module. Subscriptions assigned directly to an
account will only affect the configuration if the LivingRoom
server conforms to the convention. The LivingRoom module
will ignore all other subscriptions.
