MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

Transaction ID
Credit card transaction ID generated by the credit card service.
Transaction time
Date and time of the transaction.
Charge
Amount charged on the transaction.
Billing method
Identifies the billing method:
• CC_WORLDPAY
• CC_AUTHORIZE_NET
• CC_PAYPAL
Transmission state
• Transmitting: 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.
Returned information
The controller can return the following attributes in the RADIUS access request for all user
authentications (whether initial login or re-authentication due to roaming):
• Called-station-ID (Standard RADIUS attribute)
• HP-specific attribute: SSID
• HP-specific attribute: GROUP
