Voucher print for Android / Windows - free Demo version available

pribasv · Fri Jun 01, 2012 11:34 am

Updated on 30/05/2014

Published a Demo versión of HotSpot Manager for Android. All the features of the paid version are available in this demo version. The only limitation is that the ticket will not include the password of the generated user.

You can download the demo version at https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... tspot.demo

Updated on 16/12/2013

Update Windows CLI app to solve errors on RouterOS 6.3 or higher

Updated on 10/09/2013

Update Android app to prevent a printing error with RouterOS 6.3

***********************

Now you can test an Windows CLI (command line interface) executable that can generate random user/password for Mikrotik hotspots. It's attached to this post as HotSpotCli.rar. It uses an esc/pos printer installed on the Windows PC so you don't need a network thermal printer.

Run it as:

hotspotcli.exe [um profile]

And it will connect to the User Manager, generate an username and password and then print a voucher. Run it without parameters to view the syntax and a list of available printer names.

To set it up edit the settings.properties file and set your deployment values:

router_address=[router ip address]
router_port=[api service port]
router_user=[api username]
router_pass=[api user password]
userman_customer=[user manager profile]
userman_prefix=[generated hotspot username prefix]
userman_name_length=[random username length]
userman_pass_length=[random password length]
qr_address=[bidi values]
qr_redir=[bidi values] check HotSpot Manager for Android docs for bidi/qrcode functionality info.
printer=[name of printer or empty for default system printer]

And edit the ticket.txt file to setup the voucher format. For the ticket grammar check the HotSpot Manager for Android docs attached to this post.

Requires Java Runtime 1.6 or higher installed.

Original Message
Hi,

We've recently published an app to manage a small hotspot deployment from an Android device. The app connects to User Manager through API and generates a random user/password with the selected credit(v4.17)/profile(v5.12+) then prints a ticket through a ESC/POS network ticket printer.

The app main screen shows a button for each credit/profile configured, and when clicked it creates a new user with that credit/profile and prints a ticket.

We are currently working on it to improve it's funtionality and we hope to add new features to the app.

At the moment it supports:

RouterOS/User Manager versions 4.17, 5.12 or higher
ESC/POS network ticket printer (ethernet or wireless)
Configurable printer ticket output
Multiple credits/profiles
On 4.17 the button takes the credit's comment value as text, on 5.12+ it takes name-for-user's value.
Configurable username prefix
Configurable random username length
Configurable random password length

You can find more info on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... el.hotspot

There you can find some screenshots and a demo video that shows it working with a Samsung Galaxy S2 as android device, a RB751G as ap/hotspot/user manager and a Sewoo LK-T210 ticket printer.

If you need any other info you can find it at http://www.infinitel.es/hotspot_en.html. Just contact us if you need more detailed information.

Hello, I have a problem of settings. I set the following items: IP Address, port API, Username, Password. The Mikrotik is set. All properly. Andorid applications writes: Unable to open connection to Mikrotik User Manager. Please have any idea what could be a problem. Thanks for any feedback.

How about supported Android devices? How about without usermanager?

otgooneo · Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:20 am

I`m sorry I have one more question how about your API application on Windows PC?

pribasv · Fri Apr 26, 2013 5:04 pm

How about supported Android devices? How about without usermanager?

1. Any android device with version 2.2 or above should work.
2. It's designed to interact with User Manager through the API service. So it will only work with User Manager.

I`m sorry I have one more question how about your API application on Windows PC?

We already have a command line aplication with most of the features of the android version. We are currently using it to provide hotspot voucher printing from within POS software or desktop shortcuts on a Windows system.
It prints a voucher for an user manager profile specified as a parameter.

Just like executing: HotSpotCli.exe 1hour

That would generate a tiquet for a random username/password using a profile called 1hour.

The main functional difference is that it does not need a network pos printer. It uses the default system printer, that can be any kind of pos printer (usb, lpt, serial or network)

otgooneo · Thu May 02, 2013 3:57 pm

Thanks for your update. Good luck

Version 1.5.1

Now works with RouterOS 6.0

pribasv · Tue May 28, 2013 2:00 pm

Small change added in version 1.6. Now you can add the tag ${time} to your ticket to print the current time and date.

pribasv · Fri Jun 07, 2013 2:00 pm

Now you can test an Windows CLI (command line interface) executable that can generate random user/password for Mikrotik hotspots. It's attached to the first post as HotSpotCli.rar. It uses an esc/pos printer installed on the Windows PC so you don't need a network thermal printer.

Run it as:

hotspotcli.exe [um profile]

And it will connect to the User Manager, generate an username and password and then print a voucher. Run it without parameters to view the syntax and a list of available printer names.

To set it up edit the settings.properties file and set your deployment values:

router_address=[router ip address]
router_port=[api service port]
router_user=[api username]
router_pass=[api user password]
userman_customer=[user manager profile]
userman_prefix=[generated hotspot username prefix]
userman_name_length=[random username length]
userman_pass_length=[random password length]
qr_address=[bidi values]
qr_redir=[bidi values] check HotSpot Manager for Android docs for bidi/qrcode functionality info.
printer=[name of printer or empty for default system printer]

And edit the ticket.txt file to setup the voucher format. For the ticket grammar check the HotSpot Manager for Android docs attached to the first post.

Requires Java Runtime 1.6 or higher installed.

Hi Gazzamit, before answering the first post I tested it on a RouterOS 6.1 and worked without problems. If it arrives to the "End of process" line it's sure it has created the HBtXd6 user.

Check the settings.properties file and all it's settings. Is the customer property properly assigned? Maybe the user has been assigned to another customer.

Try on routeros terminal

/tool user-manager user print

to check where is the newly created user.

About the printer output I can not imagine what kind of printing will result when sending ESC/POS code to a PDF printer so it is factible that you get an empty page. The application will only work with ESC/POS compatible printers (we always use point of sale thermal printers). Also check the contents of the ticket.txt file, if empty it won't generate any output.

The file available on the forum was not updated to last version of HotSpotCli 1.3 which solved the same error that was fixed on the Android app version 1.6.1. This issue prevented that the profile could not be assigned to the newly created user in versions of RouterOS 6.3 or higher.

I've updated the file in the first post of this thread to the last available version.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

The GS v 0 command on TM-T20 is marked as obsolete. As we've been not able to get Epson printers (works properly on other brands) to execute this command succesfully we will schedule for the next release the implementation of command GS ( L <Function 112 + 50> which are the raster bit image printing commands that replace the obsolete GS v 0.

We will include a new setting to allow users to select the preferred command.

The Android version will be pushed to Google Play and the Windows version will be posted on this forum as soon as posible. But due to other prioritary projects we are not able to give an estimated date of release.

if we are talking about the Android app the seller is Google so you must get the invoice from them. In the case of the Windows CLI version we sell it directly and we can send the invoice as an intracommunitary operation as long as you provide an EU VAT number.

I have a problem with session timeout limit. Your App is connecting to UM, but it does not close the API connections. It look's like that:

API-connections.png

The problem is, that sometimes it affects the connection to the printer. I do not know exactly how, but due the large amount of unclosed calls to the API, you can't print the ticket. Although clicking on the profile adds a new user to UM. The problem must be in APP, because only HS-manager is connecting to the printer, not MT.

pribasv · Thu Mar 27, 2014 11:15 pm

Did not realize that sessions were not being closed properly. I'll check it and add a fix on next release. Thanks for your feedback.

Hello,

I would like to buy/use this application,
my question is, what to do if I got 5 AP's on one place and I would like all 5 to accept the generated password?
I am not sure how I am going to connect them but the scenario is this,

I will have 5 internet links and share all 5 over 5 grooves on 1 place, each groove would accept ~100 continuous connections, all would be connected, what should I do to get all 5 to use that system? Any idea?

I hope you understand my question..

Hello MarioNYB, a simple way is to share a single User Manager instance for all APs. If, as you say, they are all connected and setup as hotspots then assign the User Manager's role to one of them or to a supplementary mikrotik device. And setup the hotspot RADIUS AAA to use the common User Manager instance.

On our deployments we usually use a central Mikrotik device that has the hotspot and User Manager roles, and we connect as many APs as needed to the hotspot interface. Also, if needed, the central device may include an internet load balancing role to share multiple internet links.

Once you have a single User Manager instance you setup the app to connect to it and all the generated users will be available on all your APs.

Anyway, your talking about 5 AP x 100~Users, that makes ~500 simultaneous users. Check on the wiki about RouterOS licensing limits on simultaneous hotspot/usermanager users.

You can test the demo version of the app before buying: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... tspot.demo

Okay, I understand that part fine.

My actual problem is that I have 5 incoming links with limited traffic, 5 x 100GB, can I use LOADBALANCE in RouterOS to switch between the incoming links when 1 links 100GB is used?
That would make it easier to use your software, I would need 1 router for the ticketing and 1 router to work as an AP.

That's a difficult one!! Does each link cut traffic completely when it reaches the limit? If it does you may monitor ping to an external address and when it stops switch the default gateway to the next Internet link. If the consumed link only reduces the bandwith then this solution is useless.

Other possibility is to use the interface/queue stats to keep track of the consumed traffic (as an example try /interface ethernet get 0 tx-bytes). When target consumption is reached, switch the default gateway and reset counters. But I think stats are not saved between reboots so you should save delta values to disk to calculate the total amount. Anyway it would't be a precise method.

Maybe someone knows an easier way to do that.

2. Hotspot configuration in mikrotik trough Ethernet (without virtual AP, it doesn't work for me in RB750?) and getway for userman will be
AP?

1. You can use a RB750 as HotSpot, but consider the RouterOS license level limits in your deployment. If you place your mobile and printer behind the hotspot be sure to add both to the hotspot bypass table. If not behind just be sure that there is network visibility between the mobile, the printer and the User Manager.

2. A hotspot setup will work over almost any kind of interface, doesn't need to be a wireless interface. Anyway I'm not sure of what you mean on your last question. Please, be a little more descriptive.

Hi,

I managed to print the ticket with the DEMO app.
Does the DEMO app write users into the userman? If yes why can't I see any log or user being created?!

If the ticket has been printed the user is there. You can see it through the User Manager web UI or from terminal using the command:

 /tool user-manager user print

Contact our sales department through info@infinitel.es. Please include in your request the software ID (as it appears in System->License, usually XXXX-XXXX) of your RouterOS device that runs the User Manager.

Thanks.

I understand that you have created an user with enough privileges on the mikrotik called remote-api-administrator. Have you tried, just for testing, to set user/password on the app as admin/0000. And what do you mean with filter rule? Could you please post an export of your configuration? Do you connect your mobile behind the hotspot?

Thanks, now it's working with user: admin pass: 0000, I have filter rules config for api (port 8728 input/accept), I found some tutorial were saying that is user: remote-api-user pass: remote-api-password,it was wrong, your post was helpful.
Best regards.

I have made my software available in a website at the following location:
http://www.softreg.co.uk/HSGAccountTicketGenerator/
You can download it from there.

It will print tickets to just about any printer which is set up to print on a windows machine but is specifically designed to print to 'strip' tickets so will waste paper if you are printing to A4 or Letter (or similar).

I use a very simple POS58 thermal printer which I bought on eBay and it works fine.

The software must be licensed to get all of the functionality working (I may be persuaded to give a few licenses away for free to people who are prepared to help with testing it for me, not everyone though!).

It also uses an MS-SQLServer database for accounting which can be disabled. In theory, it should also work for other databases but I have not tried it and would be interested to hear from people who set it up to run against MySQL etc.

I will write up some documentation when I have chance as there are a lot of features which will need a little explanation.

Have a look, tell me what you think and we will see how well it works!

Hello!

How i can't print the Price on the Ticket???
There is no Variable???

Please Answer.
Thank You!

pribasv · Mon Feb 23, 2015 10:17 am

We use to include the price, if any, in the "Name for users" field of the profile.

Just put: "1 Day - 3$" instead of "1 Day"

I can not set the logo on the ticket.
In the settings option under the App Logo I set path (exm: /storage/extSdcard/images.png) to logo image file (try bmp, png, jpg)

The logo setting in the app sets only the app's main screen logo. To set the ticket logo you must refer to your printer's manual and set the first logo position on the printer's nv memory. Check the app manual to get more detailed information about the usage of each setting.
