Lock a terminal

TrueCafe Client locks a cyber cafe terminal.

Configure

Press the "Options" button to display the configuration pane, enter an IP-address of the computer where TrueCafe Server is installed.

Enter a background picture file name.

Select a dial-up connection if you want to connect/disconnect it when a customer logs on/logs off. This is useful in case you have a remote terminal connected via GPRS, etc.

You can change options freely in the demo version TrueCafe. The options are protected with the unlocking code in the registered version.

Display session info

A terminal is unlocked when a customer enters his name/password or a cyber cafe operator starts a customer session remotely. When the terminal is unlocked, the session information window appears. A customer can top-up his balance using a ticket, change his password, order a snack/drink or stop the session.

Select pricing while logging in

When a customer is logging in, the "Service package" list might appear. This depends on pricing configuration and happens if a customer doesn't have a default pricing package and there are more than one "Public" pricing packages. Please read the Pricing topic for more information.

Protect terminal

You can use the following features to secure your terminals:

Hide Windows Start button
Hide Taskbar
Hide Desktop items

Disable Registry Editor
Hide Tray items

Provide a set of applications

If you assign a terminal profile to a terminal, then a tab set with the applications is displayed. Double-click on any icon to start the application:

Warn before session is finished

When a customer session has a critical amount of time/money left, a warning dialog is displayed and/or a warning sound file is played. Use TrueCafe options to select your sound files to be played or specify whether the warning dialog must be displayed.

Printing confirmation

If the corresponding option is enabled, the confirmation dialog with pages/charge information is displayed when a customer prints a document.

Order drinks/snacks

Customers can order goods, drinks, etc. from computers where they sit. They select an item in the list of services you configure in pricing.

You can disable the "Order" button in TrueCafe options.

End a session (log off)

A customer can press the "Log Off" button to end his session and lock the terminal. The terminal is locked as well when a cyber cafe operator remotely ends the customer session in TrueCafe Administrator.

Use TrueCafe options to utilize the next log off features:

1. Close all running applications in order to prevent any private customer data from further browsing by the next user.

2. Clear Internet Explorer Temporary Internet Files and History.

3. Log off a session when a customer make Windows log off or shutdown.
