Learn how to create an Internet plan

Setup is done from the Internet Plans panel.

The administrator or employee (with appropriate access rights) is able to modify any of the settings before generating accounts.

You can modify them, or create totally new price plans.
The number of price plans in the database is not limited.

Access Schedule – This feature helps you to define day time when WiFi access is allowed. Using a graphical interface you can draw the blocks which define the time intervals when your services can be used.

This provides full control over the whole week. Blocks are displayed in 30-minute steps.

Only blue marked blocks will allow WiFi access.
From that moment, a customer may login and use your services only in time periods defined by the assigned Access schedule. For example, if customer may login from 8AM to 8PM, login will be possible within that interval, and if logged in, a customer will be automatically logged out at 8PM.
