Enhanced Modem Billing
The Enhanced Modem Billing configuration serves facilities that have "all-
EtherLoop" VBN transport systems. Enhanced Modem Billing uses YesWare
billing methods to bill the EtherLoop CO modem port(s) provisioned in the
system. CPE modems are not billed, but are treated only as remote connection
ports that send traffic from the service area to the CO modem ports.
Configuration options and restrictions
Enhanced Modem Billing configurations support all YesWare service areas
and billing methods. However, Enhanced Modem Billing cannot serve
facilities that also support an Ethernet Port Billing configuration.
Provisioning Enhanced Modem Billing configurations
By default, Enhanced Modem Billing is not enabled. To implement an
Enhanced Modem Billing configuration, the feature must be enabled and
provisioned using the functions in the EtherLoop Port Provisioning section
of Port Manager.
The system requirements and procedures to enable and provision Enhanced
Modem Billing are described in Chapter 6, “EtherLoop system provisioning.”
Figure 1-7 illustrates the Enhanced Modem Billing configuration.
