Authorized Subscribers Table and the Current Subscribers Table
The Authorized Subscribers Table differs from the Current Subscribers Table, found in the Monitor > Subscribers
screen. The Current Subscribers Table only lists those users who are currently connected to the AP.
Therefore, an active user who purchased access time with a credit card will appear in both the Authorized Subscribers
Table and the Current Subscribers Table. When using internal authentication with RADIUS, an active user
authenticated by a RADIUS server appears only in the Current Subscribers Table (RADIUS-authenticated users never
appear in the Authorized Subscribers Table). When using external authentication with XML, an active user will appear
in both the tables (the USER_ADD command adds the user to the Authorized Subscribers Table and the
UPDATE_CACHE command changes the user’s Current Subscribers State from “Pending” to “Valid”; see XML
Interface Specification for details).
If a user appears in both tables, deleting the user from one table will automatically remove the user from the second
table.
Also, rebooting the AP will clear the Current Subscribers Table but not the Authorized Subscribers Table. (The
Authorized Subscribers information is retained in non-volatile memory.)
Manually Adding a Subscriber
Follow these steps to manually add a subscriber to the Authorized Subscribers Table:
1. Login to the AP’s Web browser interface.

4. Select the DHCP Address Type for the subscriber (public or private). This setting depends upon the DHCP Server
settings you configured for the AP.
