How To Properly Configure Mikrotik Hotspot Alongside Information Limit As Well As Prepaid Billing Organization Part1.

You mightiness survive running a cyber café, restaurant, hotel or whatsoever global concern that you lot mightiness desire to flora a network that volition receive got information limitation bundle alongside prepaid billing system,this is absolutely an ideal concept. But I volition state that you lot tin give the axe accomplish this yesteryear using the MikroTik Hotspot Server alongside MikroTik User Manager Radius Server.

 Now the argue is because, MikroTik User Manager is a poplar Radius application that volition give facility to deal user information bundle every bit good every bit prepaid billing organization efficiently. On the other hand, MikroTik Hotspot is a pop service that volition assist to connect your network user without whatsoever hassle.

So, it is fourth dimension to know most MikroTik Hotspot Configuration alongside User Manager Radius Server together with this article volition guide you lot how to configure a Hotspot Server alongside User Manager Radius Server that volition receive got Data Limit together with Prepaid Billing System facility.

In this tutorial am going to run alongside you lot to  design a MikroTik Hotspot network alongside User Manager Radius Server that volition have

Data Limitation Package and

Prepaid Billing System alongside Scratch Card. Bear inward hear that I mightiness survive designing a pocket-sized together with unproblematic network.

 In existent situation, your network mightiness survive larger than what you lot run into inward this tutorial but the basic concept volition stay same.

I endeavor to brand this tutorial a niggling chip brusk thence I decided to split it into part1 together with 2

So hither inward this part1 nosotros volition fix a network, which the WAN Distribution Switch is connected to network gateway.

 MikroTik Router’s (NAS) WAN interface together with MikroTik User Manager Radius Server are too connected to this WAN Distribution Switch. Hotspot users volition survive connected to NAS Router through LAN Switch together with volition larn network access together with MikroTik Router volition communicate to Radius Server through WAN interface.

To setup a Hotspot network, thence that it plant properly I volition advice you lot install together with consummate the initial configuration of MikroTik User Manager Radius Server Package inward a dedicated physical server where MikroTik RouterOS is running. I receive got done that,  I receive got too a physical MikroTik RouterOS (MikroTik RouterBOARD 1100AHX2) which is the NAS (Network Access Server) RouterOS of this network. Finally I receive got my IP information that I am using for this network configuration.

  Change the information according to your network requirements.

We are directly going to origin our Hotspot network configuration alongside User Manager Radius Server according to the inward a higher house network scenario . The configurations, volition survive grip measuring yesteryear measuring thence continue reading  down.

First of all nosotros are going to practice our initial configuration on our router.

So thence Login to your MikroTik Router using Winbox.

Click on IP > Addresses card item. Address List window volition appear. Click on PLUS SIGN (+). New Address window volition appear.

Radius customer configuration has been completed. Now MikroTik RouterOS is able to communicate alongside Radius Server to authenticate Hotspot users.

This all nosotros tin give the axe accept inward this part1 delight stick alongside us every bit nosotros convey the consummate configuration together with thence practice a voucher for the prepaid billing system.
