Quickguide - How to set up you Vouchers
Setting up vouchers in MKController is a streamlined process that allows you to manage access to your MikroTik-powered network with ease. Below is a quick overview of the configuration steps:
🧩 Step 1: Configure Your Hotspot
Start by creating a hotspot in the Voucher WiFi section of MKController. Link it to a MikroTik device adopted at MKController and configure the IP pool. This step ensures the router is ready to distribute internet access through vouchers.
🎨 Step 2: Customize the Login Page
Use the built-in Builder to personalize your captive portal. Add your logo, a welcome message, marketing images, and terms of use. This page is what users will see when connecting with a voucher.
🔐 Step 3: Generate Vouchers
Access the Create Batch section to generate voucher codes. Choose the number of codes, define their usage rules (e.g., session time, simultaneous devices), and add optional notes.
📊 Optional: Set Data Limits
You can also configure data consumption limits per voucher to better manage bandwidth and prevent abuse. Simply enable the data limit option while creating your voucher batch.
📍 Real-Time Monitoring
Monitor voucher usage in the Real-time menu, where you can track session durations and data consumption.
✅ Note: Ensure your MikroTik device is integrated with MKController before starting the setup process. Additional access points must be configured as bridges, not routers, for voucher sharing.
