After the Third-Party Dedicated subscription is activated, a customer can use the Parallels Business Automation - Standard Control Panel to upgrade the subscription by ordering more network traffic per month or more IP addresses.
Traffic cannot be counted via the Parallels Business Automation - Standard web-based interface. A customer can account network traffic on his (or her) dedicated node and then pass this data to Provider. Provider takes care of adding the traffic statistics to Parallels Business Automation - Standard database. If the traffic statistics were entered in Parallels Business Automation - Standard database, the traffic usage statistics diagram for the third-party node can be viewed in the Control Panel and in case a customer overuses traffic, traffic-overusage invoices will be generated. A customer can order additional traffic via the Control Panel Upgrade Center and in this case Provider will receive a e-mail notification and the corresponding order will be placed. Then Provider can increase the traffic quote manually, after a customer pays the corresponding order.
And additional IP addresses can be easily assigned to a Hardware Node via the Provider Control Center web-based interface. When a customer orders additional IP address(es) in the Control Panel Upgrade Center, Provider receives a e-mail notification and the corresponding order. After this, Provider goes to the Service Director - Servers Manager - Dedicated Servers, selects the Hardware Node and edits its network configuration (adds or releases one or more IP addresses).
