INTRODUCTION

Setting up a cyber caf requires careful and thoughtful planning, because the quality

of services it can offer are directly related to planning. Careful attention in the

beginning will help eliminate problems in the long run. Of course, flexibility is also

important.

ADDITIONAL FACILITIES OF A CYBER CAFE

A space with easy access for the target population is the best bet for the cyber caf.

The size of the cyber caf will determine the number of its computers, peripheral

equipment, and furniture. A common mistake is to squeeze too much into the

space.Comfortable chairs and solid tables are best for the computers, since users will

normally sit at a computer for at least 30 minutes. Once the space has been

identified, consider painting the walls in cheerful colors. Artistic youth might even be

willing to provide a mural or to hang some of their own

paintings. If the cafs rules permit users to bring in their own disks, then also

consider having a fourth computernot connected to the networkto scan outside

disks for viruses. This will help prevent a virus from infecting the whole network.

Connect to the Internet and choose an

Internet service provider

To access the Internet, computers in the cyber caf will need either 1) a modem that

allows them to connect through an existing phone line or 2) dedicated highspeed

access. The difference between the two is that connecting through a phone line can

be slow, unreliable, and costly. Also, staff cannot make or receive telephone calls

while anyone is using the line for Internet access. Still, a phone line may be easier to

set up in some areas. Dedicated high-speed access, on the other hand, offers

reliable, high-speed connection, for a fixed monthly price, regardless of how much

time is spent online.

Establish a way to track users time

on the computers.

The coordinator or her/his assistant can keep track of users time on computers; or

special software can be installed on each computer. This type of software allows a

user access to the computer for a pre-set amount of time. It automatically logs the

user off once her/his time is up. Different types of time tracking software from the

less complex to the more sophisticated may be affordable, depending on the

manufacturer and the features that the software includes.

Set up a maintenance schedule with the

computer technician

Schedule the computer technician to visit the cyber caf on a regular basis, to

troubleshoot and provide maintenance to the machines. As the cyber caf growsin

number of machines and usersincrease maintenance visits, as needed. Its best to

schedule these visits when

the cyber caf is not open to the public.

Electricity

is absolutely necessary for the computers to run. So, having enough electrical

outlets in the cyber caf is essential. All the outlets should be in perfect condition

before any of the computers, printers, monitors, or scanners are plugged in. Do not

overload

circuits. Reliable power is also vitally important for the health of the machines. So, if

reliable power is a problem, consider investing in a generator to keep the machines

running during power outages. For example, Youth Action Rangers of Nigeria has

attached generators to the computers, because its caf experiences power outages

several times a day.

NetTime CS Suite Lite

Version 2.02

The NetTime CS Suite Lite is a complete Client Server solution for managing

public access computers.

The NetTime CS Suite Lite provides a comprehensive solution for your Internet

Cafe / Hotel / Library / School or any other industry that requires regulated,

controlled computer access.

NetTime CS Suite Lite has been designed to provide an easy to use voucher /

ticketing system for your business. The full NetTime CS Suite also provides Pre-

Paid accounts, temporary login and StopWatch capabilities.

NetTime Client Server started life as a dedicated Internet Cafe Software product

but it is now used in a diverse array of industries including governments, domestic

7/31/2019 Report on Cyber Cafe-1 Finalllll

military installations, barristers chambers, computer learning centers, universities

and more!

There's a good reason why NetTime is one of the leading choices. We excel in

performance, reliability, flexibility and provide an excellent support service.

There are a number of solutions from a variety of companies in today's market.

They vary by their functionality, their look and indeed their stability. It's worth any

cyber cafe owner bearing in mind that the cheapest and prettiest does not

necessarily mean the best. Our solutions may not be the cheapest but considering

the costs of development, we believe our product is great value for money!

A typical NetTime CS Network consists of one machine running NetTime Server

and a number of computers running NetTime Client.

NetTime Server does not have to be installed on a dedicated server, but we

strongly recommend that it's a staff controlled PC that is away from the general

public. NetTime Server does have a built security allowing you to log in before any

changes can be made. It also allows you to assign different privileges to staff.

Here is an example network diagram showing just one of many implementations

for NetTime CS:

TOPOGRAPHY

( This diagram may be enlarged by clicking on the image)

The example shows a number of wired and wireless PCs all running NetTime

Client. Please note that at this time, we do not cater for ad hoc occasional wireless

laptop users. If you are looking to provide wireless access to business users,

please contact us for recommended hardware.

In this example, the main computer running NetTime Server also has the network

printer connected, CD / DVD writing capabilities, fax / telephone and of course a

till to take money. This allows the staff to run the 'shop' from one single location.

The gateway to the Internet can be provided by a dedicated router or a PC based

router such as Windows Server or Linux. If a PC is used as the Internet gateway,

you can optionally implement web content filtering, proxying, DNS cache, DHCPand many other services.

The above is an example showing one of many implementations for NetTime CS.

If you require any assistance in designing your network, we can provide

consultancy services to help you.

So what can NetTime CS do for my business?

7/31/2019 Report on Cyber Cafe-1 Finalllll

12/17

NetTime CS has been designed and written to make your life easier and to make

your business work harder for you. There are many business owners providing

Internet Access or Computer Access Services who start out by using pen and

paper to run their business and manage usage time. This can be hard work,

confusing and time consuming.

NetTime CS helps to take the hard work out of running your business by centrally

managing access to your computers. Customers can no longer turn up and use a

computer without your knowing.

NetTime CS puts you in control and provides a variety of flexible methods to

control your network. Time can be allocated to customers by remote control, or

manually by entering a username, password or voucher code.

Vouchers and Prepaid Time Codes

7/31/2019 Report on Cyber Cafe-1 Finalllll

13/17

NetTime CS Suite Lite has the facility to

create individual or bulk vouchers.

This facility can allow you to sell vouchers

over the counter or in dispensing

machines such as vending machines.

Vouchers are automatically enabled

allowing you to sell tickets without any

further interaction.

Vouchers can be created with specific

prefixes allowing you to determine which

batch they are from. You may also specify

an expiry date should you wish to limit a

vouchers availability.

The screenshot on the left shows the

quick single voucher generator. It allows

you to quickly and easily produce a single

voucher (with Username/Password or asingle alphanumeric voucher code).

These tickets can be printed off

immediately using a ticket printer, or a

normal printer.

Reports

It's vital in any business to be able to analyse and audit your business data. Thismay be usage, how much time you've sold, how many customers have come

through the door or how much money you have taken.

NetTime CS allows you to generate a number of reports including the following:

End of day sales report

End of day usage report

Plus more...

7/31/2019 Report on Cyber Cafe-1 Finalllll

14/17

Most of the information generated within NetTime CS is stored within daily

archives. This allows you to recall previous data.

In addition to the reporting, NetTime CS generates a wealth of information in the

form of administration logs. Whilst it would normally be unnecessary to view and

use these logs, there may be situations where staff need to be monitored, or

previous transactions checked when they may be useful.

Flexible Client Interface

The Client software has been designed to provide you with a fully customisable

interface for your customers. The background / logon screen can be fully

customised allowing you to stylise our software to suit your business.

The default background screen can be seen to

the left. We have designed the main part of the

background to be fully web enabled. This

means you can edit and insert any media rich,

web enabled content.

Some of our customers have changed the

background so that visitors can browse an

intranet. This may provide news, information or

even sell local products.

Other customers use a utility that we supply to

generate adverts that change every few

seconds. This can provide you with another

source of revenue.

7/31/2019 Report on Cyber Cafe-1 Finalllll

This second screenshot shows how one of our

customers tailored the images to suit their

Internet Cafe.

Customisation can include embedded Flash

(including Flash movies) and anything else that

can be embedded within a typical Internet

Explorer browser.

Comprehensive Security

Security is of vital importance, protecting your business and saving you valuable

time. NetTime Client provides a wealth of security options. These include

protecting against CTRL-ALT-DEL, blocking Windows keys and other system key

combinations.

Other possibilities include the ability to disable the Start Menu button, hide control

panel items, lock down Internet Explorer, hide the task bar, disable the desktop,

and even disable the explorer shell completely.

Some users have configured their system to launch a full screen web browser on

login, but without the task bar or anything else. NetTime Client also allows you to

customise a variety of system policies.

If a security risk is ever identified, we always respond and try to add additional

protection as quickly as possible.

History Cleaning

We have provided a number of history cleaning options which include:

Emptying the recycle bin

Deleting Internet Explorer browser history

Removing favourites

Deleting IE cache

Removing cookies

Removing auto complete data

7/31/2019 Report on Cyber Cafe-1 Finalllll

Clearing typed web addresses

And much more...

Logon and Logoff Scripting

If there's something else you want to happen when a customer logs on, or off. We

even provide the capability

to launch your own scripts or applications!
