General Information of EvoSpot Plug-in.
Q. What is EvoSpot? Is it Hardware or Software ? A. EvoSpot is Software (pronounced as "e-vo-spot") which allows the Internet Access with customer own devices (Notebook or PDA). It is difference from MyCafeCup Platinum that only manges and control usage of PCs provided in the store. EvoSpot is Plug-in Software working with MyCafeCup Platinum to verify user/password and meter internet usage time of each customer's devices. (EvoSpot's old name is EvoBox) Q. What's Wi-Fi Access Point? A. Access Point is a device that connects wireless communication devices together to form a wireless network and works similar to Hub with wire network. Q. What is Wi-Fi HotSpot? A. WiFi is a set of standards for wireless local area networks (WLAN) that allows a person with a wireless-enabled computer system to connect to the Internet within the environment of an access point called a "Hotspot" Then, if your internet services provide Wi-Fi Access Point connection, it means you have "Wi-Fi HotSpot" in your store. Q. How is EvoSpot useful for the store where has already provides WiFi AccessPoint for customers to access the internet? A. EvoSpot will automatically meter time and calculate usage fee when a customer access the internet. (Note: It is difficult to measure usage time manually because you cannot know that a customer access internet of your store or not. WiFi is invisible, so it is hard to manage connections.) Q. What is the different billing system between a customer own device (Laptop, PDA or Mobile Phone) and a store's PC? A. A store's PCs need to install Client Software which manages customers usage of those PCs. Also Client Software helps us to control several PC functions managed by MCA Platinum. But a customer devices such as Notebook and PDA only need to gain access internet from your store. We cannot install any client software into those customers' devices. Thus we can do only meter internet usage time of them and EvoSpot will help us to do that. Q. Can EvoSpot support the connections from WiFi AccessPoint and/or RJ45 Network Cable? A. Yes, EvoSpot supports both Wireless (WiFi via AccessPoint) and Wired (Cable via HUB) connections. Q. How do a customer access internet with his notebook/PDA thru EvoSpot? A. After a customer sets up proper configuration of his computer system, turn it on and open his web browser with any URL address. It will automatically detect the WiFi signal and EvoSpot will prompt him for his login name and password. Please key in his login name and password and he can begin surfing the Internet. Q.

EvoSpot+MyCafeCup is the only one system in the world today that can manage user usage both PCs of a store and customer's devices (Notebook or PDA). This system really can manage and control both kind of devices. And it is not the mislead convincing advertisement for the people to buy the software. Q. How difficult could it be to add on EvoSpot or learn to use it if you already have MycafeCup system in your store? A. No, it couldn't be difficult at all becuase we only add one more page to manage WiFi devices into MyCafeCup Server, so an administrator almost do not change any operations or learn more to understand a new system.
