Core Accounting Server

The Core Accounting Server (CAS) verifies users, calculates transaction charges, and assigns those charges to an appropriate user or group account. CAS calculates charges using page count and job attribute information received from the Port Monitor, along with printer costs defined by the administrator.

Every Xerox Secure Access installation requires a pre-installed database. CAS uses the database instance to create an accounts database that contains all printer, user, transaction, and balance information. The database can reside on the same machine as CAS, or on a separate server if needed. View the System Requirements for information about supported databases. See the Related Content for additional information.

For installations that support a large user base, or where you support remote office locations, you may need to deploy multiple accounting servers.
