This window has eight different sections for setting a series of system operation options.

Navigation

This page contains the following options:

Free Navigation: if enabled, users navigate for free.

Notify when credit is used up: when this option is enabled, the user is warned when his credit falls below a preset threshold.

Disconnect prepaid sessions when credit is used up: automatically disconnects users whose prepaid credit was used up during navigation.

Disconnect after X minutes of inactivity: when this item is enabled, the user is disconnected after a certain number of minutes of inactivity. This function is only available on Windows XP/2000/Vista workstations.
 

Administrator Authentication

Administrator password: allows changing the administrator's password, initially set to "password". The new password must be entered twice to avoid typing errors.

Favourite Sites Page

Allows specifying the sites that will appear on Internet Explorer's Favourites list. This is especially useful when the workstations are exclusively configured to allow navigation to certain sites (as in the case of betting agencies). In fact, in this case, the Favourites list is the only way to select the site to visit since the Internet Explorer address bar is disabled. In this section is also possible to specific the home page that Internet Explorer displays on starts up.

Allowed Applications Page

Permits specifying which programs, other than Internet Explorer, can be launched on the navigation workstations. It is possible to enable programs such as word processing, chat, etc. A program is indicated by specifying the complete path to the executable program (.exe). Remember that specifying the programs that can be executed in the Internet café does not automatically enable all users to run them. This requires enabling the programs just selected for the various Groups of users.

Enabling Workstations

In this section, the computers of your network must be enabled to use the workstation management program. The maximum number of workstations that can be enabled is limited to the number of Client licenses purchased. For this reason, before enabling, you must enter your Client Code and Password and click "Update Licenses". In this way, the number of licenses available will be acquired over the Internet.

Automatic Backup

This page allows setting the mode for the automatic backup of the archives.
 

Re-charge using PayPal (Professional version only)

In this section you can configure the system to accept re-charge payments with a PayPal account or by credit card. Before configuring this section, you are advised to consult the page on re-charge using PayPal.
The following parameters must be entered :

PayPal Account : email address linked to the PayPal account through which payments are to be made.

URL to be displayed for successfully completed transactions : this is the page that will be displayed on completion of a successful transaction. It is very important for this URL to be correct, because the customer’s pre-paid account is automatically credited with the re-charge when, at the end of the transaction, re-direction to this URL from PayPal’s site occurs.

URL to be displayed if a transaction error occurs : this page is displayed if errors of any kind occur during the transaction. Both these pages can be customised as you wish, as long as the internal structure of the pages is not altered. To this end, we advise you to modify the pages by first making use of the downloadable resources at : http://www.cyber-cafe-software.com/paypal.zip

Percentage to be credited to the pre-paid account : seeing as the retailer pays a commission (about 4%) on every transaction, it is possible to arrange for the cost to be paid by the customer, by crediting their pre-paid account with less than 100% (for example 96%) of the actually requested amount.

Hotspo Configuration (Professional version only)

The configuration of this section is necessary only if you wish to use the programme as a Hotspot or to manage connections on LAN 2. In this screen you will have to specify which network card is connected to the network with the internet connection (LAN 1) and which network card is connected to the wireless Access Point of LAN 2. If you are using a Router Wireless you have to specify the IP addresses of the WAN and LAN ports of the Access Point Router. These are set at the default values of 192.168.2.1 (WAN) and 192.168.1.1 (LAN).
Finally, with the “Use internal NAT” option, you can avoid changing the modem’s routing tables. This function is available only for Windows XP and Vista with the firewall active.
For further information on this type of configuration, we strongly advise you to consult the guide to installation and configuration of the programme.
