Bandwidth Graph

With the device wide accounting provided by the administrative-user login of CoovaChilli, MRTG / RRDTool style graphing is optional. To use this feature, enable the option for the access point. It is required that the interim interval is set to 300 seconds, which is the default value when authenticating against CoovaAAA.

Open Access

Enable this option in combination with MAC authentication on the access point to automatically login users as they connect. This provides essentially an "open access point" - but with usage accounting.
