Dmasoftlab Radius Manager: Different Bandwidth for Day & Night

Scenario # 1

We have created 512k service for the users, In late night, our bandwidth is usually not much used because only limited number of users uses the internet in late timings. Therefore we want to increase users bandwidth from 512k to 1mb automatically in night 12:00am till 12:00pm

we will divide this article in three sections.

1) Mikrotik Section (For Adding API):
2) Radius Manager Section (For Adding API):
3) Adding Service & Plan in Radius Manager:

Mikrotik Section (For Adding API):

We have to first configure API both in Mikrotik & DMASOFTLAB RM Panel.

Goto IP > Services  & enable API service.

Now create API user so it can be used by RM to connect to MT.

Goto SYSTEM  > USERS and add new user by click on + icon.
User name = api
Password = api (or anything else)
