I continue to post about hotspot billing system. Actually I wanted to post about Daloradius. However, because still need more experiments, then I delay for a while. And now I'm posting about the "user manager" of the Mikrotik. What is a user manager? User Manager is a RADIUS server application. It is a separate package for RouterOS.

Install User Manager.1.      Check the Mikrotik, whether user-manager existing package. Click the System – Packages.

2.      Download package "user-manager" in www.mikrotik.com / download. Select the package,according to the Mikrotik version you are using. If you are using a Mikrotik with package the old version, you can download the old version of the package in http://files.shelbybb.com/mikrotik/ orhttp://204.62.56.64/mikrotik/

3.      Open Winbox, then click user-manager.npk package already downloaded, and drag it to the Winbox. File will automatically be uploaded, and can be seen in Winbox - Files list.

4.      Restart.5.      Check back in the Mikrotik, with the opening Winbox, System - Packages. File "user-manager" should be shown.

often used, first, vouchers that use time limit, and second, vouchers that use quota limit. You will be able to develop, by combining the two types, so get a voucher that uses a time limit and quota limit.

Let's go to make it. This is the plan.

Generate Vouchers

Next, from users list, we generate voucher, that will be printed. Click Users. Check all users, then click Generate - Vouchers.

The new dialog box will appear, then click generate.

Pop-up browser will be shown. This is the end result of a voucher that will be printed. You can change the code of the template voucher, so you can get a more attractive.

Try Login From Client Computer

We have finished to create and print voucher. Now from client computer, in login page browser, enter username and password of voucher. It should be correct, and you will be connected to internet.

Look at Hotspot dialog box, click Active tab. Current users will be seen, and there is a sign R, on the left side, meaning the user from radius server.

And at last, make sure, if time or quota of vouchers has been exceeded, the client computer will automatically disconnect from the internet, and will return to the login page.

Good luck..!!!
