Edge Services xl Module forwards a message to its internal server:
• Start-Stop—when a station connects to this WLAN and when it dis-
connects
• Stop-Only—only when a station disconnects
• Start-Interim-Stop—when a station connects to this WLAN, periodi-
cally for as long as the connection persists, and when the station
closes the connection
8. If you have selected Start-Interim-Stop for the Accounting Mode, enter a
value in the Interval field.
This setting determines how often, in seconds, the module sends periodic
reports on user activities. (It applies only when you select Start-Interim-
Stop.) The default value is 60 seconds, and the valid range is from 60 to
3600 seconds (1 hour).

10. In the WLAN’s Edit screen, click the OK button.
11. Click the Save link at the top of the Web browser interface to save the

Viewing the Internal RADIUS Server’s Accounting Logs

ule’s internal server, the module stores messages about user activity as
accounting logs. The directory for the logs is flash:/log/radius.
To view the log file in the Web browser interface, select Network Setup > Local
RADIUS Server and click the Accounting Logs tab.
