OneRoof CyberCafePro MCS Installation, Setup and Use Manual
Quick Set-up
Administrators who want to get set up quickly without reading this entire manual can
follow these recommended steps in order:
1. Make sure your computers are connected to the Internet and networked to each
other, preferably via a switch and Ethernet cable.
2. Make sure that all LAN computers are setup to be able to communicate with
each other.
Windows 7 Users Only: Windows 7 users need their ‘Network Location’ to
be set up as a ‘Home’ or ‘Work’ Network (and not as a ‘Public Network’).You
can change this setting in Windows 7 by following these steps for both the
CCP Clients and MCS (Server) PCs:
a. Click the Windows Start button, and go to Control Panel and select
Network and Sharing Center.
b. In the Network and Sharing Center window that opens, look at the
hyperlink under your Internet NIC adapter. Make sure it does not say
‘Public Network’. If it does say ‘Public Network’, click the ‘Public Network’
hyperlink to change it.

11.In the first page of the Registration Wizard, choose whether your centre is set up
as a CyberCafe (for-profit, browsing centre, LAN House or Gaming Centre,
school) or a Telecentre (public or nonprofit, belonging to an umbrella
organization) and then click Next.
Important: If you are going to install as a Telecentre, you need an Organization
Key provided by OneRoof. This unique key makes all locations of your
Telecentre organization visible within OneRoof Reports. To apply for an
Organization Key for your Telecentre, go to www.oneroof.com/telecentres and
click Apply for Organization Key. If you want to try out the software while you
await OneRoof to respond with your Organization Key, you can choose to install
as a CyberCafe instead. Then, once registered, go to Admin>System
Settings>Store Configuration on the installed MCS Server and clear the check
boxes for both Timecodes and Play & Pay (which are both for anonymous users)
and click OK. Neither Timecodes nor Play & Pay are included for Telecentre
organizations, as no metrics about these anonymous users would be available
(e.g. gender and age); using a CyberCafe installation type without Timecodes
and Play & Pay will give you an idea of what a Telecentre installation would look
like.
Note: If you demo the software as a CyberCafe but are a Telecentre, a new
installation will later be required for proper setup and for affiliating other locations
in your Telecentre network within OneRoof Reports. But if do not you wish to wait
a day or so until you obtain an Organization Key (using Apply for an Organization
Key link discussed above) and want to test the software out immediately, use the
CyberCafe designation in the Registration Wizard.

MCS Server Language
During the Installation, you may choose from 3 recently and professionally localized
languages for CyberCafePro 6.0: English, Spanish or Portuguese. That choice during
the Installation will automatically set both the MCS and Clients to that language chosen:
Both OneRoof CyberCafePro and OneRoof Reports are available now in:
• English
• Spanish
• Portuguese
A Turkish version will soon be available.
Many CyberCafePro users have also localized their Server and Clients in prior
CyberCafePro versions. As much of the user interface is the same, you can try any of
these CCP-user-generated language files with CCP 6.0 by selecting on our Downloads
page -- and then dropping into the OneRoof CyberCafePro Server “Language” folder
(Afterwards, then select the new language file via Section #1 in the MCS Store
Configuration panel, shown above.)
With these CCP-user-generated language files, if a word or phrase is missing in
translation, it will show “Missing language” (in English only). You can, if you choose, go
to that language file and replace selected English terms with your local language. With
your help, they can be made “complete” for CCP 6.0 (similar to English, Spanish and
Portuguese).
CCP-user community language translations (available for download from our website)
include: Afrikaans, Albanian, Croatian, Deutsch, François, Hungarian, Italian,
Macedonian, Mongol, Nederland’s, Russian, Serbian, Tagalong and Ukrainian. (If you
make improvements, do please send us your updates do that others in the CCP
community may benefit.)
Given our Graphical User Interface is very intuitive, for day-to-day use even those with
minimal English skills have no problem mastering all daily functions (per our own
experience in Tamil-speaking rural areas of India).
Should you wish to deploy CCP in a language not listed above, email us with your
language request, your full contact information and interest to help in the translation
effort at: languages@oneroof.com?

2. In the Time / Account Groups box, the leftmost list is for general pricing for most
(if not all) computers. In the first part of this box, you can drag computers from
group to group as needed. Account groups are used only if you want to set
different prices for some computers; for example, you could set a higher price for
high-speed gaming machines.
Note: First you must set up at least one Client system and connect it to the MCS
so that it appears in the top-left area of section 1 of the Time/Account Groups
box, under All, as shown below. If you do not wish to have different pricing
among computers – for example, you might want to set up a new top gaming
computer at a higher price – then ALL Clients would appear under All and you
need only configure the pricing once, as follows.

5. Use section 2 (above screenshot) to fill in pricing for each minute after the
schema above “runs out” as defined in section 1. For example, if you defined
pricing for the first 2 hours, then section 2 would control pricing to be charged
either per block or per minute (as checked) for a session that exceeded the pre-
defined time frame.
6. Test your settings in section 3 (above screenshot). Choose a number of minutes
and confirm resulting charge for what the “minutes will cost” at the right. Test until
you get the desired settings, and then click OK when done.

Printer pricing
Select, by printer, the Price per Page. It is a good idea to name your printers
“Color” and “Black & White” if you offer both, so that consumers can select which
they want and you can charge a different price per page for each printer.
You can also charge against a prepaid account the equivalent value in minutes
(i.e., the per page price converted to the same money in minutes), but using this
option sometimes confuses the customer. If left blank, all printing is simply
charged to the POS as monies due, with no impact on remaining minutes in an
account.
8. Click OK when you are done with all pricing settings.

Setting Up Employees
Navigation: Admin icon>Setup>Employees
One of the first things to do when configuring your Server is to define your employees.
In particular, you will require at least one employee of the type ‘admin’ who has
administrator rights to configure this Server and the POS.
Use the Employees box to add or edit employees, and to set up auto logoff and email
address enforcement features.
To automatically log employees off after a certain amount of time, select the Auto logoff
employees after check box and select an interval of time. This helps prevent
transactions being credited to the wrong employee -- or any transactions being entered
by an unauthorized person.
Tip: To enact any business an employee must be logged on. Logging employees off
protects the cash, and because the employee logon process is so quick, we
recommend you set the auto logoff time interval to a low number of minutes. Also, in
this way, employees working an overlapping shift can be more easily accommodated.

button click, start and end session, etc.
‘Enable PC speaker beep warning’: This option is to also use the PC speaker to warn
the user when time is running low or other system alerts.

‘Enable registry run programs’: This option if enabled will instruct the client PC to
execute the items setup in the Windows registry’s Run section, which are normally
executed when you would startup Windows without the CyberCafePro Client.
Sometimes there may be program drivers of some sort included here.
‘Enable system startup folder programs’: This option is similar to the previous one,
except it is referring to the Windows taskbar menu’s Startup folder where you can drop
shortcuts.
‘Enable systray during sessions’: If enabled, the CyberCafePro taskbar will show the
system tray on the right side.
‘Always reboot at end of session’: If this is enabled, it will make the system reboot after
each session is ended. This is useful if you use Deep Freeze or SteadyState to have a
fresh system after each use.
‘Lock computer at end of session’: If this option is checked then when a user is finished
a session (and reset in Play & Pay mode), the system will become locked and will
require the admin to unlock it before it can be used by the next user. This is good for
locations where you want to make sure customers come to the counter before they start
a session.
‘Enable floating information window’: This option if selected (default) will show the
floating time window at the top of the screen when in session.
‘Use killhelp for terminating games’: Deprecated: This function is generally not used or
required any longer and will be removed in subsequent revisions.
‘Allow user to change volume’: If this is selected, the user will have an option to adjust
the volume. If disabled then only you from the ad/min console can do so for that client
PC.
‘Allow user to initiate chat’: If checked, then the user will be able to initiate a chat to the
MCS.

‘Allow user to order POS items’: If selected, your customers will be able to order items
from your POS selection (those marked to show to customers in MCS POS Setup
screen).
‘Language module for this client’: Here you can select the language file that the client
PC will sue for CyberCafePro.
The drop box will give you the option of only allowing User Accounts to Login, only
allowing Timecodes to login, or allowing both. Both or 'All Types' is set by default.
‘Banner Manager’: If you wish display banners in your café you can add banner images
to the default path which is the CCP Client installation path’s Banners folder, which by
default (or if you click the ‘Default’ button) will be a placeholder for the installation path,
plus the subfolder name: {ClientPath}\Banners. Where-ever you specify, place your
banners there. Note: Network paths are not recommended as it can cause a drag in the
system performance as they load, more so if there is any delays in access to that path it
can then seem to ‘hang’ the CyberCafePro Client.
‘Run this program at the start of session/End of session’: These settings are to specify
specific programs you wish to execute when the session starts, and also when the
session ends. These paths are always relative to the client PCs viewpoint, and must
exist on the client or specify a network path to the exe. Again, keep in mind potential
network delays.
You can also set the parameters to pass to the executable file you specify.
‘Print Monitor’: Select the printer drivers that exist on the CCP Client PC that you wish
to have monitored for usage and charging. The CCP Client must be connected to the
MCS to get a list.
‘Bandwidth Monitor Interfaces’: Select the network interface cards (NICs) that you wish
to be monitored for bandwidth usage as per the bandwidth settings screen in the Admin

Hide the Admin button on startup: Pressing left Ctrl-Shift-A will toggle visibility of the
button (Windows 2000/XP): Using this option will hide the Admin button which shows on
the top portion of the Client, but will still leave it accessible using the key combination
noted. (Note that on the “OneRoof” Client skin displayed earlier in this section of the
manual, the Admin button is set up to be visible.)
Make CCP interface auto re-appear when no programs are detected running: Uses
some additional CPU cycles: When no programs are noted to be running (started by the
user during the session), the Client interface will redisplay.
Make the Client taskbar start with auto-hide disabled by default: User can still enable
the auto-hide feature via right-click: Selecting this option will set the Client taskbar which
displays during the session to show always. Auto-hide can still be selected by right-
clicking the taskbar.
Start explorer.exe as shell just prior to Reg Run/Startup folder (for drivers/apps that
require explorer shell to be loaded): Some processes/services require IE to be loaded
when they start or they may not load properly. In this case, enable this setting to load
the explorer shell during start-up of the Client.
Specify a different font to use for the CCP Client interface: You can specify your own
custom font to use throughout the Client interface.
Terminate Windows matching these titles at session end (Exact Match, Case
Insensitive): You can have the Client block all windows that have the exact Window
Caption you specify in this setting (comma-delimited list). This is useful to close certain
windows that might be associated with processes that hide themselves from the kernel
and may not terminate properly. Closing the window can often resolve this issue.
Terminate specific processes matching these names at session end (Exact Match,
Case Insensitive): This option (comma-delimited list) is to target specific processes that
you may not want running, but start-up with the system and thus are allowed to continue
to run after a session ends.
Protect specified processes from termination at session end: Process1.exe;
Process2.exe; Process3.exe: Some processes may have started after the Client loads,
in which case they would normally be terminated at session end. This setting (comma-
delimited list) is to allow those processes to run and never terminate them.
Never allow these processes to run... even while in session. WARNING: Be careful of
what processes you add here!: This setting (comma-delimited list) is to specify
processes which you never want to run on the system at any time during or after a
session.
Change the default priority of CCP Client (LOW=1, HIGH=5): In some cases it might be
useful to be able to increase or decrease the Client process priority. It is NOT
recommended to change this setting in most cases, and do not change it if you do not
understand it.

Note: Government-approved ID and a user image taken via photo web cam are
suggested for each and every account for better control -- and for government
compliance (where required).
In security-conscious locations (such as India) operators also must check the user’s ID
presented with the user image photo (to ensure the bearer is in fact the same person)
and must take care to enter the ID number accurately. (In some cases, for example with
driver’s license numbers, a state must also be entered.)
Internet Pricing vs. Desktop-only Pricing
In section 4 of the Create/Edit Account box, set up the pricing structure for this account.
You can offer accounts that do not require access to the Internet (and therefore do not
consume bandwidth) a lower price per hour than those with full Internet access. An
account of this type might be a customer who only wants to use Microsoft Office
applications and play installed games.
For Full Internet Access (the default), the member discount (in section 3 of the box) is
set to the default 0.00%. If you instead select No Internet Access, the member discount
would be 33.33%.
Therefore, you could charge, say, $15 for Internet access per hour and $10 for no
Internet access.
You can make changes in your pricing schema for Internet access per hour, but the
default discount is set at 33.33% (off the full Internet access pricing that set elsewhere)
shown in section 3 when No Internet Access is selected in the drop-down list in section
4. (With Admin access, you will soon be able to change from 33.3%, if desired.)

Logo Customization
The banner is shown in the top portion of the Client skin; “OneRoof” example
If you wish to display your own logo in your café, you can set the path to the banners file
in which logos are stored in each Client PC.
You can place the banners (468 x 60 pixels) directly on the CyberCafePro Client
computer in the default path which is ‘{ClientPath}\Banners\’, where ClientPath is a
placeholder for the path to the Client install directory. [See Client Manual for more
details.]
To replace the OneRoof logo in the Client computer Logon screen, first create a ".jpg",
".bmp", ".wmf", ".emf",".swf", or ".gif" format image of your own logo in 468 x 60 pixels.
Then drop the image into the Big Banners folder within the Banners folder. Re-boot the
Client and you should see your logo appear (see pathway in the illustration below).

Using CD Key Manager
Navigation: Admin icon>Setup>CD Licenses
CD Key Manager allows the entry of CD key licenses for particular applications you
have purchased, and thus allows all Client computers to use them up to the maximum
number of licenses available at any given moment. CD Key Manager denies access if
the number of licenses in use at a given moment exceeds the number of licenses
purchased for any given game or application, once all licenses are entered. In this way,
the licenses purchased are used to maximum benefit, across the entire network of
Client computers.
Note that for Profile and CD Key management to work from the shortcuts in the Clients’
Windows Start menu, the paths used in the setup in the Client admin screen should
match the paths specified in the Target field of that shortcut in Windows.
Note: Enabling CD Key Manager also enables the Game launch panel on Client
machines.
79

OneRoof CyberCafePro MCS Installation, Setup and Use Manual
To set up CD key management:
1. Make sure the Enable CD Key management check box is selected (checked).
This also makes the Game launch panel appear on all Client computers. (To
disable CD key management or remove the Game launch panel on Client
machines, clear the Enable CD Key Management check box.
2. Define the games/programs for which you want to have CyberCafePro manage
CD licenses by entering them in section 2. (Many games are pre-defined for
convenience.)
3. Select a game/program you have defined, and in section 3 carefully enter all your
CD keys, clicking the '+' button each time to add them to the list.
4. In section 4, define what action CyberCafePro should take when a program
requests a key. The normal operation is to have CyberCafePro enter the key into
a registry location. The pre-defined games already provide the registry location
for you; otherwise, you will have to enter the location yourself. By default, the
value will be written as a string value; however, you can also specify to use
dword or binary.
In addition, you can also send the CD key to a batch file or executable as a
parameter for games/programs requiring more advanced handling of the keys.
You can also set the option to allow a user to enter their own CD key for a
specific game. This is useful for LAN tournaments or occasions where you don't
have the required number of licenses.
5. Once you have defined your games/programs, click OK to close the CD Key
Manager box.
6. You must then go to the Client Admin screen on the Client computers(s), and in
the program set-up section for each program that you want CyberCafePro to
handle the keys, select the program name you defined in section 2 of CD Key
Manager box, and save your settings.
The program now will use the CyberCafePro managed license keys when it is run by a
user. When the license keys are all in use, no more computers can run that application
until there are available keys. You can easily add more keys for any game as demand
increases.

Windows installation.
Alternate Account
We recommend that you enter a non-Administrative Employee account for the second
field which will be the account used to launch applications and desktop access. In so
doing, any programs accessed from the desktop would also be launched under this
non-Administrative Employee account. [Some programs may not like being launched
under this non admin account, but you can select the option for those individual
programs (if needed) to launch as the administrative account.]
Force auto login button
Once the Clients and CyberCafePro MCS are operating properly and consistently, we
suggest you select (check) this function on each Client. It will ensure the Client boots
automatically, logs into Windows and does not bypass the Client logon and go to the
Windows logon screen. This is more of a convenience feature should you have
customers trying to bypass the Client login screen, forcing you to manually have to go to
the Client computer and log onto Windows. [No security is compromised either way.]
Bypass verification of Accounts (Correct information entered but the fields are
still red)
In very rare cases due to some abnormal Windows setups, you may find that the
username and password are not being accepted as valid by CyberCafePro, even
though you are certain they are correct. In these cases you can select to bypass the
account verification and accept the usernames and passwords as entered…but make
sure you are 100% sure of the information. Worst case is that you will have to manually
logon to the PC each time, but that can also be annoying.
Once all the details have been entered, click OK and the CyberCafePro Client will
automatically startup and be in control of the system.
Note: You can copy Client settings to all other Clients easily. See Copying Client

Shutting Down the Clients at Days End
At the end of the day when you are ready to shutdown all the computers, right-click the
Client icon or right-click the workspace area in the Main screen on the MCS.
Important:
• Select to either Shutdown Client or Shutdown all unused. These actions shut
down Windows so that when rebooted, the CyberCafePro Client program will run
after the system auto-logs in.
• DO NOT select Set to Windows or Set All Clients to Windows as this will prevent
the CyberCafePro Client software from loading again until manually started.
Note that if you have Wake-On-LAN network cards in the Client PCs, you can easily
turn them all on again right from the CyberCafePro MCS by clicking the Main workspace
area and selecting Wake All Clients.
