Install on client PCs

Updated

Every client PC needs the GCafe Billing client so the server can time and control it. During installation you only need to enter the server's IP address.

📢 GCafe Billing is now GCafe Portal: from the new version, GCafe Portal is the official installer of GCafe Billing, replacing the legacy GCafe+ Server. This page describes the legacy version and is kept for reference. How to do it in Portal: Install GCafe+ Client on client PCs.

Before you start

  • The server is installed and running (see Install on the server).
  • You know the server's static IP, e.g. 192.168.1.10.

Installation steps

  1. Run gcafeclient.exe on the client PC.
  2. Select I accept… and click Next.
  3. Keep the default install folder (or click Browse), then click Install.
  4. When asked for the server address, enter the server IP. This field is required.
  5. Click Finish.

Result: the PC appears on the server's Máy Trạm (Client PCs) tab with status ONLINE. Repeat on each client PC.

Common errors

What to do

Client PC missing on the server, or shown as DISCONNECT

Wrong server IP, the server is not running, or a firewall blocks the connection.

Check the server IP, start the GCafe Billing server, allow GCafe Billing through the firewall on both PCs; reinstall the client if the IP was wrong.
