Did you debug the call setup in your AS5350? Usually Phone companies sends 
as DNIS only the last four digits. I mean, this is most probabily not a NAS 
or RADIUS issue, it is most probabily an issue with the provider of your PRI 
line and/or phone number.

Also, by default Ciscos send Called-Station-Id as the DNIS number sent from 
the PRI, so if you didn't configure some kind of translation, it's probabily 
mapping DNIS as sent by the PRI provider.

>> Hello
>> We are currently using freeradius to authenticate dialup users.  We are 
>> investigating several wasy of improving the service offered to the dialup 
>> users and have encountered several issues: -
>>
>> 1. The Called-Station-Id is a 4-digit number in the detail log file.
>> While testing authentication based on the Called Telephone number, the 
>> Called-Station-Id had to be specified as "1300" instead of "2131300" in 
>> the users file .
>> If we have two PRI lines , say 3120101 and 2130101, the Called-Station-Id 
>> will be seen as "0101" in both cases.  So we'll not be able to 
>> differentiate between the two numbers.  Is there a way to configure 
>> freeradius or Cisco5350 RAS to use a 7-digit number as Called-Station-Id. 
>> The Calling -Station-Id however is a 7-digit number.
>> 2.  I have also tested the Login-Time, Max-Daily-Session and 
>> Max-Monthly-Session attributes.  If the user is dialing outside the 
>> timeframe set in the users file or has exceeded his daily/monthly quota, 
>> he will not get connected. Excerpt of radius log file below : -
>> Thu Oct  6 15:26:18 2005 : Auth: Invalid user (rlm_counter: Maximum daily 
>> usage
>> time reached): [steve/<CHAP-Password>] (from client as port 255 cli 
>> 2117039)
>> As administrator we'll know why the user got disconnected .
>> For the user side now, how can we inform the user that
>> i) he has exceeded his quota and that he should replenish his account. 
>> or
>> ii) he's dialing outside the timeframe he paid for.
>> iii) he's got xxx seconds of connection time left
>> Are there any scripts that will interact with freeradius and send these 
>> users an email or sms?
>>
>> 3. Does dialup admin work with plain text users file ?
>> Thanx in advance for your help.
