Hotspot module

How to

The module is a powerful system MikroTik HotSpot -> user authorization. Ideal for hotels, offices, cafes, and other places where Internet access is required via Web authorization (via HotSpot gateway). The Hotspot module supports various types of authorization - authorization via SMS, creating tickets with different rights and times. In order for the module to work, it is necessary to make sure that it is installed and running in Settings:

The interface of the hotspot module provides different tabs for regular tasks with wifi users and configuration hotspot on RouterOS devices. There are Users, Operators, Points, Gateways, Events, and Reports tabs.

Basic HotSpot gateway configuration on Mikrotik RouterOS

This paragraph does not apply to the description of the Hotspot module but contains information on configuring MikroTik ROS as a HotSpot gateway.

  • Make sure that your router, which will act as a HotSpot gateway, is configured and has Internet access.
  • In our example, the router is configured and has Internet access. We will configure HotSpot on the "bridgeGuest" Interface.
    Add new interface for WIFI
  • The HotSpot package must be installed on your router - this can be seen in the System -> packages tab.
    Install system packages
  • If the package is missing, download it (hotspot.npk), but always the same version as the system package. You need to install the package to the root (files), after which you need to reboot the router. Check that the package is installed.

To configure HotSpot go to the system - hotspot section

  • For quick setup, use the setup button, after a "wizard" will be launched to configure the hotspot. You need to define the interface behind which your hotspot users will be located.
    Hotpot setup
  • For a more accurate configuration, an IP address must be registered on the HotSpot interface. It is this IP that will be automatically substituted when configuring HotSpot, if there is no IP address on the interface, the "wizard" will come up with it and substitute it.
    Hotpot setup - step 1
  • You will be automatically prompted to create a Pool IP addresses for distribution to clients.
    Hotpot setup - step 2
  • If you do not fill in the DNS Name field, then when users connect to the authorization page, the IP address of the interface will appear. If you specify a name, then it will be displayed.
    Hotpot setup - step 3
  • You are prompted to create your first HotSpot user.
    Hotpot setup - step 4
  • Congratulations! You have HotSpot configured.

Users

When you click on the Users tab, you will see the following window:

Traffic Jobs

There are 5 buttons on the Users tab:

  • Add user - Add user on hotspot RouterOS and mupsbox database
  • Delete user from hotspot - Delete user account on hotspot RouterOS and the Mupsbox database marks user account as deleted
  • Enable user - Enable user on hotspot RouterOS
  • Disable user - Disable user on hotspot RouterOS
  • Refresh - Refresh window

There are filtering checkboxes on the Users tab:

  • Filtering only wifi SMS users - Show wifi user what authorizing via SMS code
  • Filtering only wifi ticket users - Show wifi user what authorizing via ticket
  • Filtering only disabled wifi users - Filtering only disabled wifi users
  • Filtering only removed wifi users - Filtering only removed wifi users

Add new wifi user

Wifi operator can manualy add new user on hotspot RouterOS, account information in Mupsbox database, and genarate password by appropriate policy. In order for the program to add new user from your hotspot RouterOS, you must click on the Add user, then the Add new wifi user window will open:

Add new wifi user

  • Login - The wifi user will use login for authorization on Hotspot RouterOS
  • Surname - The surname of wifi user. Available for ticket authorization only
  • Name - The name of wifi user. Available for ticket authorization only
  • Patronym - The patronym of wifi user. Available for ticket authorization only
  • Pasport № - The pasport number of wifi user. Available for ticket authorization only

The operator can modify WIFI connection and WIFI passwords policies on user creation step.

The WIFI connection policy:

  • Connection days - Number of connection days that wifi user will remain authorized to Hotspot RouterOS
  • Speed - The two-direction bandwidth for wifi users. There are predefined speed: 1M, 5M, 10M, unlim. It's possible use custom speed
  • Traffic - The traffic restriction for wifi users. There are predefined traffic restrictions: unlim, 1Gb, 2Gb, 5Gb, 10Gb. It's possible to use custom traffic restriction
  • Shared users - The number of users or wireless client devices what can work with one wifi user account

The WIFI password policy:

  • Password length- Length of a password. By default 4 chars
  • digits (0..9) - Requirement use digits in password
  • low case letters (a..z) - Requirement use low case letters in a password
  • high case letters (A..Z) - Requirement use high case letters in a password
  • simbols (!@#$%^*) - Requirement use symbols "!@#$%^*" in password

When you click on Add User button, you will see the following window:

Print wifi ticket

There is ticket can be printed. Print template can by modified by change wifi_ticket.rtf file what located in distributive folder.

Operators

This tab is used to associate Mupsbox users with Point. Point provides information about hotspot RouterOS devices and Gateways information.

Wifi operators

Modify point for operator

Use double-click on the operator and choose an appropriate point.

Wifi set point


Points

This tab is used for configuration points. Point is the association RouterOS device, which works as hotspot and config of authorization wifi users (Gateway information).

Wifi points

There are 5 buttons on the Points tab:

  • Add hotspot point - Add hotspot point
  • Delete hotspot point - Delete hotspot point
  • Enable hotspot point - Enable hotspot point
  • Disable hotspot point - Disable hotspot point
  • Refresh - Refresh window

When you click on Add hotspot point button, you will see the following window:

Wifi add hotspot point

  • Name - Name of the point
  • Device - RouterOS device what in the list of Device module. RouterOS should be configurated as a hotspot
  • Gateway - Set of authorization information. The gateway should be configurated before point creation

Gateways

This tab is used for configuration gateways. Gateway is a set of information on how wifi users will authentification on hotspot RouterOS.

Wifi gateways

There are 2 buttons on the Gateway tab:

  • Add hotspot point - Add gateway
  • Delete hotspot point - Delete gateway

When you click on Add Gateway button, you will see the following window:
