connection between AS5300 and ACS 2.6 is down

[p.sorin]

If I have the next scenarios :

One users is connected through dialup to AS5300 which is connected to ACS 2.6 and his credit is 30 min. After 10 min. the connection between AS5300 and ACS 2.6 is down and the user close the session after this event.

What’s happened ?

The session will remain up on ACS ?

If the user has an account with only one session at one time, what’s happened if he try to connect another one?

thanks in advanced

There are several ways to deal with this.

a) on ACS there is idle-timeout setting in the User Setup, if the user is idle for say 10 mins, ACS will declare it as disconnected.

b) if you do accounting, then a start and stop record is sent whenever a user connects or disconnects, and ACS keeps track that way.

Furthermore, you can configure max-session on ACS to whatever, if a session is already connected by a user, it will check if max-session is eg 1, then it won't allow the same user to connect again from elsewhere until the first is released.
