PulseISP uses a secure two-way connection to manage your MikroTik routers. The system generates a provisioning script that configures RADIUS, WireGuard tunnel, and service ports automatically.

Prerequisites

  • Your MikroTik must have internet access

  • API service must be enabled on the router (default port: 8728)

  • RouterOS v6.x or v7.x

Step 1: Add Router in Dashboard

  1. Go to RoutersAdd Router

  2. Enter the Router Name — A friendly name (e.g., "Main Tower", "Branch Office")

Step 2: Map Ports to Services

For each physical port on your router, select the service type:

Service

Description

PPPoE

For subscriber PPPoE connections

Hotspot

LAN

Choose which LAN ports you want to map PulseISP to. Port 2, 3 or whicherver becomes authenticated via PulseISP

WAN

If you want to MAP your Mirkotik WIFI to PulseISP

Step 3: Run the Provisioning Script

After saving, the system generates a RouterOS script, sample below. Copy it and paste into your MikroTik terminal:

script look like below:

/system reset-configuration no-defaults=yes skip-backup=yes

Then paste the full provisioning script. The script will:

  1. Configure RADIUS client settings
