1.4 Exit SiteKiosk automatically after X seconds of idle time
This option allows you to have SiteKiosk shut itself down automatically after a certain period of idle time (number of seconds of no mouse movements/keyboard entries). You should only turn this option on if an additional tool controls the terminal. Do not use this option in combination with shell replacement.
If the option 'Do not activate screensaver if credit available' of the advanced screensaver settings page is activated, SiteKiosk will only close when there is no credit left.

 
1.5 Special keyboards: Calling up the logout dialog box by entering a specific command
You will not have to configure this option as it is provided automatically and primarily intended for the use of special keyboards.
Some special keyboards neither have an ESC key nor keys such as the CTRL, ALT or F keys. If using such a keyboard, you can call up the password prompt by using the following command:

• Click or tab in all four corners of the screen.

1.6 Touchscreens/Tablets: Calling up the logout dialog box by entering a specific gesture
You will not have to configure this option as it is provided automatically and primarily intended for the use on touchscreen terminals and tablets.
Tip on all 4 corners of the screen within 3 seconds to open the exit dialog of SiteKiosk.
In the lower left corner of the password dialog you will also find a keyboard icon to display on onscreen keyboard to type in the password.

2.1 Configuration password
You can use the password you specify here to exit SiteKiosk.

If the terminal is registered with SiteRemote (SiteRemote versions 3 or higher), the system alternatively prompts you to enter the user name and password of an authorized SiteRemote user and show/restrict the Exit dialog box based on the user rights you specified.

2.2 General password

Should you have forgotten your configuration password, you will still be able to use your general password to exit SiteKiosk. You will find your general password, for example, on your SiteKiosk invoice or in the email that was sent to you and contains your registration information.
This will ensure that the general password will only work with your version of SiteKiosk. For emergencies, PROVISIO keeps a copy of your license key on file.

Your general password is composed of the first eleven letters/numbers of your registration code. Here is an example:

Licensee: "Test - 1 License(s)"

Signature: "MTW7C-9W6FP-6F9RK-BDTQC-R43B2"

General Password: MTW7C-9W6FP

3. Secondary password (restricted Exit dialog box)

Use this option to set up a second, restricted Exit dialog box that can be used by additional people. You might want to consider this option, for example, if you want to allow members of your staff to only shut down and restart the machine.

If the terminal is registered with SiteRemote (SiteRemote versions 3 or higher), the system alternatively asks for the user name and password of an authorized SiteRemote user and restrict the dialog box based on the user rights you specified.

The following is a list of the options you can choose from:

• Exit SiteKiosk
  Allows you to exit SiteKiosk using the Exit dialog box.
• Shut down computer
  Shows you the option to shut down the computer.
• Restart computer
  Lets you restart the computer.
• Log off user
  Gives you the option to log off the user and access the Windows login screen.
• Payment module administration menu
  Shows the dialog box of the payment module administration which lets manage the payment devices that can be connected to SiteKiosk. Click here for more information.

4. Create USB key

You have the option of transferring the registration key and the general password for SiteKiosk to a USB stick. When you plug in the stick, you can open the Exit dialog box without the password prompt while a SiteKiosk session is still in progress. This works with all machines that operate on the same SiteKiosk license.

Note that on machines registered with a SiteRemote server the USB key will not open the Exit dialog but the authentication dialog.
 
You can also use the USB stick holding the registration key to automatically register several SiteKiosk installations under the same license. Simply connect the stick to the computer and launch SiteKiosk.
