Transmission state
Transmi tti ng: The record is being transmitted.
Queued: The record is queued for transmission.
Transmission Disabled: Transmission of the record was disabled. Once records fall
into this category they cannot be retransmitted.
Successful: The record was successfully transmitted and acknowledged by all primary
servers (or their backups).
Transmission Failed: The record was not transmitted successfully and retransmission
attempts have stopped due to the setting for Fault tolerance in the billing records
server profile (Controller >> Public access > Billing records > External billing
records server profiles).
Location-aware authentication
This feature enables you to control logins to the public access network based on the wireless
access point with which a user is associated. Once authenticated, this feature is also used to
monitor and control roaming to other access points in the network.
How it works
Location-aware is automatically enabled when a VSC is set to provide access control. When
enabled, the location-aware feature causes the controller to return location-specific
information for RADIUS-authenticated users. This information is returned:
When the user logs in
Each time the user roams to a new access point or switches SSIDs on the same access
point (which causes the user to be re-authenticated).
Note Due to security constraints in 802.1X client software, users cannot automatically be re-
authenticated when roaming to a new access point. Therefore, location-aware information
cannot be returned when these users roam.
