Hello, Peter;
Not sure what you mean by "AutoDialer"... When you find an interface with AD 
appended thereto, it
means that netmon has discovered two interfaces with the same IP address. If 
one of them is
administrative down (see interfaces.ifTable.ifAdminStatus) "AD" is appended to 
the IP address and
its status is set to USER1. If none of the interfaces is administrative down 
then you will receive
duplicate IP address events. See Administrator's Reference or man netmon for 
more information.

Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Vladimir.
