I just added my first VSA to the RadAttributes table
(Final_TX_Data_Link_Rate USR attribute 0x006B (107)), and before I added it
to my calls table, I checked the -x15 output and saw
"Final_TX_Data_Link_Rate = 429" 8 times in each accounting request. Is this
normal?
My entry in RadAttributes looks like this:
RadAttributeID, Name, Type, RadVendorID, RadVendorType
26, Final_Tx_Link_Data_Rate, 1, 429, 107

I don't want to add the FinalTXDataLinkRate column to the calls table until
I'm sure it's going to work (rebuilding a 1 million record table just to
remove a crap column is not fun :( ) Also, is it possible to put the
lookup values for these attributes in the RadValues table? Maybe just use
the number of the attribute itself (107) since there are no RadVendor
fields?

Thanks,

I am having a problem trying to authenticate users with Radius NT. As far
as I can see RADIUS NT is authenticating the user. But if you dial in the
call eventually gets dropped, windows saying 'it can't negotiate a
compatible set of network protocols'.

Can anyone tell me if this did authenticate or not, and if it did does
anyone have any ideas why the Netserver doesn't seem to accept the call.

Thanks

Check the dial in machine and see if TCP/IP is loaded. It is getting
authenticated

RadiusNT did authenticate the request. I would check the dial in
setting of DUN, since that is usually what causes that problem.

Hi Dale,

By way of background, I charge my customers on the 15th Monthly and havedone so for years. If someone joins up in between dates then I make anappropriate adjustment to their hours and/or charge.

I thought I had everything properly configured however when I ran callconsolidation, all the call details prior to August 1st was deleted fromthe CALLS table.

I presume that I didn't setup Emerald properly in that the billing cycleshould have been "anniversary" rather than "monthly" (I got thatinformation from the Database Schema). On trying to check this, when I tryto click on the tab I get:

SQL Server Error: 208 Invalid object name 'BillingCycles' State=1,Severity=16.

As the documentation for 2.1 doesn't even show this tab/option, I presumeit's yet to be implemented.

The problem I now have is that the call data from 15th July to 1st Augusthas "disappeared"! Is there anyway I can get extract this data?

Compounding the problem I have is that I allow my callers to access theCALLS table so they can monitor their time usage. I realise this table iscleared when ever a Call Consolidation takes place - it was for that reasonI only intended on running Call Consolidation on the 15th of the month.

The documentation infers that a users call data is saved in the users owndatabase. Is this correct? If it is, I could run Call Consolidation dailyand allow my users access to their own database.

I presume that by changing the "Billing Cycle" (when I can change it) asabove then I will be able to continue with my practice of 15th monthly.

Hi Dale,

Just discovered that clicking on OK for the Error Message and then clickingon "Add" at least solved that problem.

Can you please describe the three options presented and also the "PreBill:" options.

Thanks.

This isn't really a RadiusNT issue is it? This should be on theEmerald Mailing list. Please use it for followups. I really try tokeep Emerald specific issues on the Emerald list, since we haveRadiusNT customers on this list who don't use Emerald.

Do you bill on the 15th for the 15th-15th or on the 15th for the1st-1st? > I thought I had everything properly configured however when I ran call> consolidation, all the call details prior to August 1st was deleted from> the CALLS table.

This sounds like an Emerlad 2.1 issue. If you use Emerald 2.2, theconsolidation will correctly align on the expiration date. > I presume that I didn't setup Emerald properly in that the billing cycle> should have been "anniversary" rather than "monthly" (I got that> information from the Database Schema).

Billing cycles are NOT implemented in Emerald 2.2 and lower. Ignore thetab in the Admin. > The problem I now have is that the call data from 15th July to 1st August> has "disappeared"! Is there anyway I can get extract this data?

Not unless you have a backup. > The documentation infers that a users call data is saved in the users own> database. Is this correct? If it is, I could run Call Consolidation daily> and allow my users access to their own database.

I don't follow the above, and if it is in the docs, its wrong. Thereis now users database. There is a CallHistory Table that shows summaryinformation for prior usage.
