Customer account bandwidth usage details, that are widely used in the system to create customer usage summaries as well as being used by SAND (Subscriber Auto Notification & Disconnection) system were generated by either:
WIB controller
or RADIUS
A new option has been added to the above - customer bandwidth usage detail can be created from a "Traffic" profile of the "primary" CPE attached to the customers account.
This opens a lot of new possibilities - as now operator can poll the traffic profile from CPE w/o having the WIB in line or even RADIUS used for AAA (or in situations where Wireless equipment does not support loggin the Accounting to a RADIUS server).
From 'Modify Operator' page, operators can choose either the 'Customer Bandwidth Usage' come from:
wib / radius - this covers the standard setup where Usage details come from either WIB or RADIUS server
from CPE traffic profile (where available) - if the CPE attached to customer account does not have traffic profile it will fall back to WIB / RADIUS option. In case of multiple CPE devices, it will take the first one with traffic profile available - with the 'Primary CPE' (which can be set under customer CPE details) taking a precedence
This 'per operator' option can be overriden per each gateway. If the 'default' option is used - option set under 'gateway' or if that is also set to 'default' - 'operator account' will be used.
This option can also be overriden on the customer level. If the 'default' option is used - option set under 'operator account' will be used.
