are required on Mikrotik side.
Configuration for Mikrotik:
1.
User Manager package must be instaled.
2.
Start HotSpot Service
3.
API service must be Enabled:

If Printer will connect to Mikrotik HotSpot using the same WiFi network as
customers (HotSpot network), then MAC Address of the Printer should be
added to the HotSpot IP Bindings:
