For CafeStation Windows NT/2000/XP is recommended due to greater robustness.

Connection page click Detect this computer address button in order to get local hostname. Options Run program automatically at system startup and Copy client program to system directory should also be set (Miscellaneous page). If you want idle workstations to be locked, you should set it on Lock page. After you set all the options press OK. Now you should execute CafeAgent.exe file from CafeSuite\Client directory on every workstation in the cyber cafe. We recommend to share Client folder in read only mode and execute program through network neighborhood, but you can also copy CafeAgent.exe and CafeAgent.ini to a floppy disk. When executed the program will copy itself to the system and run from there, so if you use floppy disk it can be removed after a moment and you can continue on the other workstations. After each execution, there should appear an hourglass icon on client workstation and CafeStation program on the main workstation should detect connection from client machine and ask to add it to the list. Each workstation will be assigned unique name and address. If computers in the cafe are divided into groups (ex. games, internet) with different charging rates, then you should change the name of the group the workstation belongs to by just entering different group name. The program will ask you whether to set the charging rates for each new group. In the Number box enter the number that will be assigned to the workstation for quick access (G key or menu List/Go to...). To simplify workstation adding process, program will try to guess the data for the following workstations.
