The patron authentication function supports all of
the authentication
modes supported by CASSIE, or you can allow patrons
to sign in "anonymously" -- wireless printing is
supported either way. |
|
|
Daily time limits and operating hours are
automatically enforced as you specify. |
|
|
Platform-independent printing allows patrons and
guests to print from virtually any laptop (Windows, Mac
OS X, Linux). |
|
|
You can charge patrons and guests for printing;
surcharges for color and duplex modes are applied when
appropriate. |
|
|
Use with your existing printer - you do not need a
"Wi-Fi Enabled" printer! Your public computer users and
your wireless users can even send jobs to the same
printer. |
|
|
Single-session or day-use guest accounts are easily
created, enabling you to allow visitors or guests to use
your network and print. |
|
|
General usage statistics (number of sessions, number
of pages printed, etc.) are collected -- you may
optionally collect session statistics (who was using
which IP address, and when). |
|
|
When integrated with a supported web content
filtering system, the filter profile can be set
automatically for each user, based upon that user's
age and/or patron type. |
|
|
SSL/TLS encryption ("https") is available, to ensure patron
privacy during the authentication process, even if you
don't use encryption in your wireless network. |
|
|
Flexible design allows you to use existing network
infrastructure, including existing wireless access
points. Both wireless and/or wired networks may be
secured. |
|
|
SPOT integrates seamlessly with CASSIE, offering a
rich set of staff monitoring and control functions
through CASSIE's easy-to-use graphical interface. |
