Building a CHR Lab Before Selling Internet Packages

This guide covers CHR lab. Start with the checks below. Then compare your result with the example before changing a live service. A CHR lab is useful for rehearsing a proposed RouterOS design without placing existing subscribers at risk. Keep laboratory payment and customer records separate from live operations.

CHR lab: practical checks

1. Use test identities and an isolated network for the first rehearsal.
2. Write expected login, expiry and reconnect results before testing.
3. Record which results still require confirmation on the actual field equipment.

CHR lab: a working example

A successful virtual test can expose a configuration mistake early. It cannot establish wireless coverage, physical router performance or live merchant settlement at the customer site.

First, write down the starting state and the expected result. Then make one controlled change. Next, compare the result with the example above. Finally, record what changed and who should follow up. Keep private account details out of shared notes.

Where LinkDesk fits

LinkDesk is a separate billing application, not a CHR licence or virtual hosting service. A proposed virtual deployment needs a tested application-to-router path, suitable infrastructure and a separate decision about the RouterOS licence.
