21.2.1 What You Need to Know
Accumulation Accounting Method
The accumulation accounting method allows multiple re-logins until the allocated time period or until
the user account is expired. The Zyxel Device accounts the time that the user is logged in for Internet
access.
Time-to-finish Accounting Method
The time-to-finish accounting method is good for one-time logins. Once a user logs in, the Zyxel Device
stores the IP address of the user’s computer for the duration of the time allocated. Thus the user does not
have to enter the user name and password again for re-login within the allocated time. Once
activated, the user account is valid until the allocated time is reached even if the user disconnects
Internet access for a certain period within the allocated time. For example, Joe purchases a one-hour
time-to-finish account. He starts using the Internet for the first 20 minutes and then disconnects his
Internet access to go to a 20-minute meeting. After the meeting, he only has 20 minutes left on his
account.
