Monitor Information
Current Subscribers Table
This table lists all of the active subscribers that are communicating with the AP. (See
Authorized Subscribers Table
and the Current Subscribers Table
for an explanation of how this table differs from the Authorized Subscribers Table.)
This table can hold up to 50 entries.
Users who are associated with the AP wirelessly but are unauthenticated appear in the table with
State
set to
Pending
. Once a user has been authenticated (by the AP, a RADIUS server, or an External Web Server), the AP
updates the user’s entry and changes the
State
to
Valid
.
The AP reports the following information for each subscriber:
•
User Name
(if applicable)
•
IP address
of user’s wireless card
— In the example below,
dcrispin
received an IP address from the AP via DHCP and
Edgar
is using a static
IP address (but the AP’s DAT functionality accounts for this and the user is unaware that his IP address is
misconfigured for the hotspot’s network).
•
MAC address
of user’s wireless card
•
State
— Set to
Pending
for devices that have associated to the AP wirelessly but are not yet authenticated.
— Set to
Valid
after a device or user has been authenticated.
•
Proxy
— Reports if the AP detected proxy server settings on the subscriber’s Web browser and is redirecting the
traffic as necessary
•
BwUp:
Subscriber’s upstream bandwidth limit
•
BwDown:
Subscriber’s downstream bandwidth limit
•
BytesSent:
Number of bytes sent by the subscriber (upstream)
•
Bytes Received:
Number of bytes received by the subscriber (downstream)
•
BytesTotal:
Sum of BytesSent and BytesReceived
•
Status
— Should be
Active
at all times.
— Change to
Destroy
to delete an entry.
