Please I would like to know how the advertising facility works in MT, is possible to advertise pages that are on the web server and not in the router itself? if possible how and what are the configuration steps or scripts?
The Hotspot advertising facility works by temporarily suspending the hotspot authentication of a user on a timer basis and forcing them to go to a URL you specify. If popup’s are enabled, this occurs automatically on the users’s next browser request. If popups are not enabled, the user must click to redirect on the next browser request. In both cases, the temporary suspension is lifted. You can redirect the user to whatever web server you like using a number of standard methods. Setup a router and try it yourself to get a feeling of it. If you don’t have a Routerboard already setup an X86 router with the eval license and run the hotspot on an ethernet interface to play with it.
Thanks
I have my Hotspot Router running so I want to have some of the pages to be advertised during user’s browsing time, I tried to configure but instead of bringing the page to be advertised it was saying page cannot be displayed, so I want to know step by step how to configure this options and also the scripting options for all this.

Maybe someone else would be willing to assist with such details. There are a number of paid consultants which can help you as well.
