Set password to protect client software - use this button to set password protecting client software from uninstallation. If no password is entered, you'll be asked to set it when saving client software configuration.

Connections
Use hostnames instead of IP numbers (required for DHCP) - select this option if you're using DHCP (IP numbers are assigned automatically and can change) in your cafe. It will make program remember hostnames instead of IP numbers.
Main computer address - network address of the main computer (where CafeStation is installed). Use the Detect button to have the address of the computer you're using detected.
Remember to enter hostname instead of IP number if your cafe is using DHCP.
Connection port - port used for the connections (1 - 65534). Lower numbers may be already in use. Note that the next port number will also be used.
To check which numbers are occupied enter this command at the command prompt: netstat -a, you will get full list of used ports. We recommend using the default value: 7777.
Set password to encode connection with server - use this button to change the password used for encrypting communication between CafeStation and client software. You can enter any random character sequence, it doesn't need to be remembered because it's only used internally.
Refuse connections from other hosts - select this option to prevent client software to connect to server computer with different address than set in the Main computer address field.
