receives. By default, if no NAS-ID is set, the 700wl Series system uses the MAC address of the Access
Controller as the NAS-ID. However, you can specify a user-defined NAS-ID that will be sent instead of
the MAC address. A user-defined NAS-ID may be more useful and “user-friendly” than the MAC
address for purposes of identifying where the accounting information came from.
You can specify a NAS-ID by editing the Access Controller from the System Components tab in the
Network area. Select the Access Controller from the System Components List and type a description in
the NAS-ID/Description field (see “Configuring Access Controllers” on page 6-10.
Accounting Packet Data

start of a client activity session. This information is sent whenever a an authenticated client is newly
associated with an Access Controller, either due to the original logon event, or to a roaming event.
The following fields are sent to the RADIUS Accounting server in the Stop accounting packet sent at the
end of a client’s activity session on the Access Controller, due to the client being logged off, or to
roaming away from the Access Controller.

disassociation from the first Access Controller, and a Start packet is sent upon association with the new
Access Controller.
