The Cisco Broadband Access Center (BAC) software enables you to create network service provider accounts and subscriber groups. After installing BAC, your first task is to create service providers. You later create customer subscriber accounts. For more information, see "Managing Subscribers."
Table 4-1 lists the topics discussed in this chapter.

Using the Subscribers tab, you set up service providers, subscriber groups, and customer subscriber accounts. Wholesale network access providers create and manage retail network service providers. Retail providers manage customer subscriber accounts and might also manage other retail providers.
Thus, when you click the Subscribers tab, you can manage service providers and subscriber groups, as well as subscriber accounts. For more information about managing subscribers, see "Managing Subscribers."
You use the Subscriber tab to set up service provider accounts. BAC then uses service provider account information to partition administrative networks and network devices so that only the specified service provider can view network and devices; for example, an operator at service provider ISP1 can view only the administrative networks and devices that belong to ISP1. For more information, see "Managing Devices."
When you create a service provider, you set the identity of the provider with the fields listed in Table 4-2.
