Pre-paid tickets are a
practical way to allow quick access to unregistered users. Every
ticket carries an eight digit code number which can be used
instead of Username/Password for login on a workstation or via
Hotspot. The location manager only has to automatically generate
an arbitrary number of tickets, each with a pre-determined
credit amount, and sell them to customers who then access the
workstations by entering the code printed on the ticket.
Pre-paid tickets can be generated and printed automatically by
using the relevant option in the Utility menu, or by going to
the “Pre-paid tickets” section of the main screen and clicking
the “Generate” button.
You can generate any number of tickets. Before producing them
you must first set the following parameters to distinguish the
generated tickets :
Amount : is the pre-paid value given to the tickets.
Mark as sold : by enabling this option the tickets will
be printed with the “Sold” option set. This means that the
manager does not have to set the relevant flag manually at the
moment of sale. Please note that tickets which are not “Sold”
cannot be used to access a workstation unless the system has
been configured to allow access in this situation (see the
preferences option in the “Pre-paid Tickets” section)
Print following generation : by enabling this option the
tickets will be printed automatically on the selected printer.
Print the equivalent time : this option allows you to
print the navigation time which corresponds to the value
assigned to the ticket.
Set the date of expiry : allows you to (optionally) set
an expiry date after which the ticket cannot be used.
Pricing plan for wired workstations : this is the pricing
plan used to calculate the connection costs for wired
workstations.
Enable Wi-Fi access : this allows access via Hotspot with
the generated pre-paid ticket.
Pricing plan for Wi-Fi access : the pricing plan for access
to the Hotspot.
Member of user group : is the user group of the user
whose ticket is being used for access.
Language : the language to be used on the client
workstation interface.
