Features available for RADIUS clients

Client Type

By selecting a specific client type, the system can determine how an active connection should be disconnected.
We support a growing number of client types.
Depending on which profile a user belongs to, certain profiles cause the system to disconnect a user when a certain amount of data consumption has been reached.
For this, it is important that the client type is correct so that the connection can be successfully disconnected.

Close stale sessions

There is an option to Auto close stale sessions.
This will close accounting records which has not been updated within the specified time.
This helps to keep the system free of outdated accounting data.

Timezone

In order for the system to implement certain restrictions, the time zone is very important.
Specifying the time zone ensures that the correct starting point is used for time-based calculations.

Data Limit

You can also activate a daily and monthly data limit for RADIUS clients.
