| Authentication is critical to the success of any network deployment. Further, reliable authorization and a flexible accounting system that supports the variety of packages offered by the service provider are a basic necessity for successful operations. |
| |
| 24online's built-in RADIUS server provides AAA, ensuring automatic authentication, authorization based on IP address as well as MAC address and an accounting system that is totally in synchrony with the packages offered. |
| |
 |
| |
Through 24online, authorized subscribers can access the service based on username and password. By denying access to unauthorized users automatically, incidence of fraud is reduced, leading to greater cost controls. One of the major issues for wireless networks is the ease with which they can be penetrated, making authentication critical for their growth. |
| |
| |
24online's authentication is performed through placement of software at the subscriber-end and a web-based login, providing ease-of-use to the subscriber and reliable authentication to the service provider. |
| |
|
| |
Once the subscriber's identity is checked through the authentication process, 24online's authorization allows subscribers access to the various resources based on their MAC address (Media Access Control) and IP address. Since IP addresses change as the network device moves from one network to another, checking the MAC address is necessary as they generally remain fixed and follow the network device. This double check provides greater accuracy in authorization. |
| |
|
| |
This 2-step process of authentication and authorization reduces the incidence of fraud. |

|
| |
While ensuring that subscribers get the service they pay for, 24online, through its accounting feature makes sure that the revenue corresponds to the service used. By taking into account packages based on usage, duration of use as well as discounts, it provides a system that gives complete support to the range of offers. |
| |
|
| |
With leased lines and dedicated subscriber connectivity being high revenue earners, greater care is needed in ensuring that authentication is done with great accuracy. Hence, 24online provides transparent authentication through MAC address, making it easy to handle dynamic and static IP customers as well as to provide or deny different levels of service. |
| |
|
| |
24online's AAA is supported by a built-in RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service) server with the reliability and scalability that can support millions of subscribers. It allows service providers to manage all their users and all their points of presence on a variety of Operating Systems at all times. |
