HotSpot
HotSpot is a way to authorize users to access some
network resources, but does not provide traffic
encryption.
To log in, users may use almost any web browser
(either HTTP or HTTPS protocol), so they are not
required to install additional software.
The gateway is accounting the uptime and amount of
traffic each client have used, and also can send
this information to a RADIUS server.
The HotSpot system may limit each particular user s
bitrate, total amount of traffic, uptime and some
other parameters
The HotSpot system is targeted to provide
authentication within a local network (for
the local network users to access the
Internet). It is possible to allow users to
access some web pages without
authentication using Walled Garden feature.
The MikroTik HotSpot Gateway provides
authentication for clients before access to
public networks .
HotSpot Gateway features:
• Different authentication methods of clients using local
client database on the router, or remote RADIUS
server;
• Users accounting in local database on the router, or on
remote RADIUS server;
• Walled-garden system, access to some web pages
without authorization;
• Login page modification, where you can put
information about the company;
• Automatic and transparent change any IP address of a
client to a valid address;
HotSpot Setup
• The simplest way to setup HotSpot server
on a router is by /ip hotspot setup
command. Router will ask to enter
parameters required to successfully set up
HotSpot. When finished, default
configuration will be added for HotSpot
server.
