How to Check Clients' Voucher Remaining Time and Traffic on Clients' Devices?
Background
Portal authentication provides an authentication service to clients who only need temporary access to the network, such as customers in a restaurant or supermarket. To access the network, these clients need to open the authentication login page and enter the correct login information to pass authentication. With the authentication type set to Hotspot > Voucher, customers can authenticate using a unique credential code generated by Omada for a specific duration. You can print the voucher codes from the Controller and distribute them to your customers. This helps you link your customers’ network access to your business. Additionally, administrators can allocate specific internet time or traffic for different voucher groups. This article primarily discusses how to view the remaining available time and traffic from the client side.
