  1. Install and log in. Install the server, set network and time zone, log in and change the admin password. See the Installation chapter.

  3. Basic settings. In Settings → general settings set currency and time zone; in Settings → sites your company name and logo; in Settings → advanced check User Idle Timeout (2–3 times your router's interim interval).
  4. Add your router. NAS → Actions → New: name, IP address, shared secret, type Mikrotik, version Mikrotik 6.36 or higher, Incoming (COA) Port 1700.
  5. Configure the router. On the MikroTik: 
    /radius add service=ppp,hotspot address=SAS_IP secret=SECRET timeout=3000ms
/radius incoming set accept=yes port=1700
/ppp aaa set use-radius=yes accounting=yes interim-update=5m1m
    Disable MS-CHAP on the PPPoE server and create the IP pools you will use in profiles.
  6. Create profiles. Profiles → profiles list → New: name, price, speed, duration (Limit Expiration ON), pool name. Optionally create an Expired profile for expired users.
  7. Create managers (optional). Create permission groups in Settings → permission groups, then resellers in Managers → New, and give them balance with Deposit.
  8. Create a user. Users → Users List → Actions → New: username, password, profile.
  9. Activate the user. Actions → Activate, payment method Manager Balance.
  10. Connect. Configure the username and password on the subscriber's router (PPPoE). The user appears in Users → Online Users.
