Private PSK with data limits

This is an old revision of the document!

RADIUSdesk includes Fair Usage Policy (FUP) profiles.
These profiles can be tailor made into a very secure, powerful and flexible solution.
In this example we will make use of these FUP profiles to:
- Allow a permanent user a daily data usage of 1GB.
- After this the system will move them to a VLAN with a captive portal that is throttled.
See the following illustration for more clarity.

In order to get a working setup we will split it in two parts
- The RADIUS related things that has to be done in RADIUSdesk.
- The MESHdesk related things that has to be done in MESHdesk.
We assume you created a new cloud using the Setup Wizard. Our cloud is called PPSK Demo.

The RADIUS related prep will consist of the following:
- Create a FUP profile that will cause the user to be moved the VLAN 105 (The VLAN we will run our Captive Portal on) after 1GB of data usage.
- Create a permanent user with a unique Private PSK and who will be assigned to the limited FUP profile.
- Add an entry for the SSID that the user will connect to to the PMKs Applet.
- Add the hostapd RADIUS client (this will be waiting under RADIUS Clients → New Arrivals)

Start by creating a new profile. This will be a Simple Profile which we will edit afterwards to change to a FUP Profile.
