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

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:

( 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?

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

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...

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.

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
