Global charging options
a) Rounding up to facilitate recovery
Enabling this option will round the amounts of PC usage, prints, products, etc. For example: if in your country it is not practical to work with amounts less than 50 cents/cents, place in this field: 50.
b) Count time on disconnected PCs
With this option enabled CyberPlanet does not stop the counter if the Client PC is disconnected from the server. For example: If the client restarts the PC you can charge the time that passed during the reboot process.
c) Allow continued use
By enabling this option PCs that are pending payment will be able to continue their use when the Operator presses Play.
d) Maximum time to allow continued use
You can set a maximum time to allow to resume PCs pending payment.
This means that if the pending PC is kept in that state longer than the configured one, it will have to be "charged" to reuse it.
e) Permitir intercambiar PCs en uso
By enabling this option, if required, you can Swap PCs Clients in use.
f) Credit under / Alarm time to be fulfilled
You decide when the Low Credit sign will appear on the customer’s PC. This option is useful to give the customer time to recharge their credit.
g) Show only if there is no full screen / Show always
By checking the Show only option if there is no full screen, customers who are using the full screen will receive an audio alert.
By checking the Always Show option, in case of using full screen, the display focus will be removed for the client to display the alert.
h) Text to show (Credit)
Set the text your customers view when their credit is about to run out.
i) Text to display (Cut-off alarm)
Set the text your client displays when their usage time is about to end.
Differential per PC
This configuration allows you to apply surcharges on all the profiles you have.
Warning
Surcharges do not apply on Promotions, Free Passes and PIN Cards.
With this feature you can easily generate differentiated zones on your GameCenter, Lancenter or Cybercafé. For example: A VIP area with private boxes, a gamer area with video game consoles or a promotional area with old equipment or small monitors.
Select the PC or PCs you want to set the surcharge on, enter the percentage and finally click Apply.
Important
If you want to remove a surcharge, mark the PC or the corresponding PCs, enter 0% and press Apply or directly press Remove all surcharges.
Select the profile to take it to the first position. This will default that the client will use that profile when enabling the PC.
