Dashboard

The Dashboard is the landing page after login and gives an at-a-glance picture of the appliance and the network.

What it shows

  • Live counters — connected users (real authenticated identities; MAC-only sessions are not counted), connected devices (distinct MACs), configured VLANs, NAS/RADIUS clients, authentication events in the last 24 hours.
  • Authentication metrics — successes and failures over 24h and 1h, authentication rate, EAP failures, unknown devices, expired certificates.
  • System health — CPU, RAM, disk, uptime, service states (RADIUS, database, time sync…), license status, last backup, pending updates.
  • Top NAS clients and top VLANs by authentication traffic, hourly trend, recent events.

Tiles are clickable and take you to the relevant detail page. No configuration is required.

SOC / NOC

A real-time operations view designed to be projected on a wall screen in a network or security operations center.

What it shows

  • Connected users (real 802.1X identities) and Active Devices (machine authentications such as host/PCNAME) in separate boxes. A Windows PC legitimately produces both: a machine authentication at boot and a user authentication at logon — same physical device, two identities.
  • Active sessions with identity, MAC, NAS and VLAN; security events; authentication trend; system service health.

The view refreshes automatically. Use it to answer “who is on the network right now?” at a glance.

Operational note: for accurate real-time session data, enable RADIUS accounting with interim updates (e.g. every 10 minutes) on your switches. Without interim accounting, session freshness degrades.
