Voucher Service

This guide is intended to help you set up your network to generate and accept vouchers. With vouchers, you control access on a per-user basis by generating guest passes you can provide to users.

Vouchers can be set to specific time increments and are ideal for hotels, coffee shops, apartments, etc. where you want to limit network access to users for a specific period of time.

Enable Voucher Service

Enable the voucher service by clicking Configure > SSID > Captive portal > Voucher Service.

Note

1. Please make sure that the Security Type at Configure > SSID > Association has been configured as open or WPA2 PSK before trying to enable Voucher Service. Since the Voucher Service is capable of generating user/password randomly, it can not work with a dedicated WPA2 Enterprise authentication server.

2. Please make sure you add the Front desk account to the EnGenius Cloud by adding user front-desk privilege before you click to send a notification to the Front desk manager.

Remember to click on the Apply button at the top-right corner to confirm your change on SSID settings.
