What does activating a service actually do?

ISPbox provisions the subscriber to the network: a PPP secret and profile for PPPoE or a static DHCP lease for DHCP, plus a simple queue for the package speed. In RADIUS mode it writes the equivalent entries to the RADIUS database.

Do plan changes update the router automatically?

Yes. Changing a customer package updates the speed queue or rate limit in place, without manual router edits.

What happens on suspension?

When billing marks a service delinquent, ISPbox can remove its configuration to block access or limit it to a reduced speed, then restore full service automatically when the invoice is paid.

How do I know the router matches the panel?

Background audit and refresh jobs compare the expected state against the router, and staff can trigger a manual sync for a service, so configuration drift is caught and corrected.

How provisioning works

Turn a service on and ISPbox does the network work for you. Activating a subscriber writes the right configuration to the router or RADIUS, plan changes update it in place, and suspension removes or limits access, with audit jobs that check the router still matches the panel.

Activation writes the network config

When a service goes active, ISPbox provisions it from the subscriber details: a PPP secret and profile for PPPoE, or a static DHCP lease binding MAC to IP, plus a simple queue for the package speed. In RADIUS mode the same intent is written to the RADIUS database instead.

Plan changes and suspension, handled

Move a customer to a faster package and the queue or rate limit updates automatically. When billing marks a service delinquent, ISPbox can block it by removing the configuration or limit it to a reduced speed, then restore it the moment the invoice is paid.

Audited against reality

Background audit and refresh jobs compare the expected state from the panel against what is actually on the router, and a sync action lets staff push a service to the router on demand, so configuration drift gets caught.
