**'''Maximum accounting concurrent records''' is the maximum number of simultaneous accounting records to be sent to the Radius servers. This improves the Radius performance of the system: it allows the RADIUS client to deal with servers that have high latency relative to the number of request/responses per second to be achieved. Default value is 10 records.

**'''Maximum accounting queued records''' is the maximum number of accounting records to queue when the maximum number of pending records has been reached. When the maximum number of queued messages is reached, CDR records will be dropped. To prevent this, make sure the system supports [[CDR redundancy|CDR redundancy]]. Default value is 12000 records.

This page describes how to enable and configure a TMG system to capture CDRs, using a RADIUS server.

Enabling RADIUS

1- Select Gateway -> Configurations from the navigation panel.

2- Verify that the box Use CDR behavior is checked.

3- Configure the CDR behavior in the CDR Options section:

  • Enable periodic CDR update will add one entry in the CDR per Periodic CDR update time, in minutes.
  • Select the CDR Mode:
    • Text CDR only: Will store the CDRs in a flat file. See Text CDR
    • RADIUS CDR only: Will send the CDR to an external RADIUS Server. See Radius CDR
    • Text and RADIUS CDR: Will store the CDRs in a flat file and send the CDR to an external RADIUS Server.
    • RADIUS CDR with Text CDR Fallback: Will send the CDR to an external RADIUS Server and if the RADIUS server cannot handle the load of CDRs, they will be stored in a flat file.
  • Click Save to save your changes.

4- Verify that the Gateway configuration was successfully updated. message appears.
