Monitor Information
A subscriber is removed from the Current Subscribers Table under the following circumstances:
• The network administrator changes the subscriber’s Status from Active to Destroy.
• The subscriber has logged out (applicable to RADIUS-authenticated users and RADIUS Profile Caching is
disabled).
• The amount of access time purchased by the subscriber has expired.
— Users authenticated by the Authorized Subscribers Table whose expiration time expires are reset to
State: Pending.
• The subscriber’s entry times out after a period of inactivity.
— RADIUS-authenticated users time out based on the Default Idle Timeout setting, the Idle-Timeout
attribute, or the Session-Timeout attribute.
— Pending users and users authenticated by the Authorized Subscribers Table whose time has not expired
are removed from the table approximately 10 minutes after the subscriber’s wireless card disconnects
from the AP (for example, when the user leaves the hotspot).
DAT Sessions
The AP performs Dynamic Address Translation (DAT) to provide subscribers with access to the Internet. See Dynamic
Address Translation (DAT) for details.
The Current Subscriber DAT Sessions screen displays the active DAT sessions for each subscriber. The subscriber
is identified by the IP address and MAC address of his/her wireless card.
The SubPort identifies the source port that the subscriber is using; the NetPort identifies the port that the AP maps
with its IP address to send out the subscriber’s packet.
For UDP sessions, the SessState is MAPPED (meaning the subscriber’s port has been mapped to a port on the AP
for address translation purposes).
For TCP sessions, the SessState is ESTABLISHED (for open connections), TIME WAIT (for pending connections), or
CLOSED (for closed connections).
