===== Extra actions =====
==== Kick user off ====
  * This button will try to initialize a disconnect request **from** RADIUSdesk **to** the NAS where a user is connected.
  * At the time of this writing only the following NAS devices are supported.
    * Coova Chilli captive portals
    * Mikrotik hotspots
  * In order for this the work correct a few things has to be in place which are discussed in these two NAS client's Wiki Pages.
  * If you have any other type of NAS devices the kick button will do nothing. 
<WRAP center round tip 80%>
  * Remember that the kick button only work with Coova Chilli and Mikrotik
  * The kick button will have no effect on other NAS devices.
</WRAP>

=== Close session ===
  * There is no tight coupling between a RADIUS server and a NAS device.
  * This means that the information reflected on RADIUSdesk about who is connected might not be correct.
  * If for instance the NAS to which the users were connected hanged, RADIUSdesk will not be aware of this and show the users as still connected.
  * When this happens, we can use the **Close session** button to close these open sessions to give an indication of the true situation.

<WRAP center round tip 80%>
  * When you add a NAS device you can edit it afterwards and go to **Nas** -> **Enhancements** sub tab.
  * This tab allow you to specify **Auto close stale sessions** along with a time which after there were no updates on the accounting data of a user we assume the NAS has problems and will close any open sessions for that NAS device
</WRAP>

--------------

===== FreeRADIUS info =====
  * This tab will list the current stats from the FreeRADIUS program.
  * It will list:
    * The Authentication requests
    * The Accounting requests
  * As you can see from the screenshot there is a large amount of failed Authentication requests. This is because we have MAC Authentication activated on some of our hotspots.
  * As of this writing the filter per NAS is not yet implemented.
