GWN7000 User Manual
Version 1.0.6.28
VOUCHER
Voucher Feature Description
Voucher feature will allow clients to have internet access for a limited duration using a code that is randomly
generated from GWN controller.
As an example, a coffee shop could offer internet access to customers via WiFi using voucher codes that
can be delivered on each command. Once the voucher expires the client can no longer connect to the
internet.
Note that multiple users can use a single voucher for connection with expiration duration of the voucher
that starts counting after first successful connection from one of the users that are allowed.
Another interesting feature is that the admin can set data bandwidth limitation on each created voucher
depending on the current load on the network, users’ profile (VIP customers get more speed than regular
ones...etc) and the internet connection available (fiber, DSL or cable…etc) to avoid connection congestion
and slowness of the service.
Each created voucher can be printed and served to the customers for usage, and the limit is 1000 vouchers.
The usage of voucher feature needs to be combined with captive portal that is explained after this section,
in order to have the portal page requesting clients to enter voucher code for authentication.
Voucher Configuration

Notes:
•
Users can specify how many vouchers to generate which have the same profile, this way the GWN
will generate as many vouchers as needed which do have the same settings avoiding creating them
one by one.

The admin can verify the status of each vocoder on the list (In use, not used, expired …etc).
•
Press
