A fibre internet operator needs a reliable record of subscribers, payments and service dates alongside the physical access network. LinkDesk can support a compatible MikroTik PPPoE billing deployment, with a separate FreeRADIUS integration option where appropriate.
Billing is one part of the access network
Fibre construction, OLT provisioning, optical levels, VLAN transport and customer ONT configuration are separate from the billing ledger. Identify the existing PPPoE access concentrator, subscriber address pool and gateway. LinkDesk does not build those services simply because a licence has been activated.
Keep customer identity stable
Record the subscriber, package, serving gateway and equipment reference consistently. Network credentials should persist through renewals instead of being replaced by a new Hotspot voucher every month. Decide how technicians receive the information they need without giving them unrestricted access to all payment and merchant settings.
Define renewals and package changes
A monthly offer can use fixed days or a calendar-month model. Explain the actual service boundary to the subscriber and demonstrate an early renewal. A scheduled future package change should preserve already purchased time. Review the package snapshot and invoice reference rather than assuming the latest public price describes every historical purchase.
Test operations before cutover
Demonstrate initial authentication, payment, expiry and reconnection on the intended access network. Include an account with existing paid time in the migration rehearsal. Keep a rollback plan for the previous service and verify a backup restore. Hardware throughput and subscriber capacity require deployment-specific measurement, not a router-allowance calculation.
Questions before buying
Does a LinkDesk licence include OLT management?
No OLT or ONT provisioning capability is promised by this software licence.
Can I use the Windows installer for FreeRADIUS integration?
The supplied FreeRADIUS bridge requires LinkDesk and FreeRADIUS on a suitable always-on Linux host.
