The data accounting configuration is located on the AP‘s Accounts > User Authentication and Access
Tracking GUI menu, and the AP‘s Authentication Mode must be set to Radius AAA for the menu to
appear. The accounting may be configured via the AP GUI as shown in the figures below. By default
accounting messages are not sent and the operator has the choice of configuring to send only Device
Access accounting messages (when a user logs in or out of the radio), only Data Usage messages, or
both. When Data Accounting is enabled, the operator must specify the interval of when the data
accounting messages are sent (0 disabled, or in the range of 30-10080 minutes). The default interval is
30 minutes.
Table 14 RADIUS accounting messages configuration
The data accounting message data is based on the SM statistics that the AP maintains, and these
statistics may be cleared on the AP by an operator. If an operator clears these messages and data
accounting is enabled, an accounting stop message is sent followed by an accounting start message to
notify the AAA of the change.
