Introduction
Welcome to Gizmo! Gizmo is a unique combination of POS / Internet Cafe timekeeping / PC
management software that will help you manage your business in ways you have only
dreamed of until now. With Gizmo Suite you will be able to provide your customers with the
best user experience, manage and organize your game library, deploy software to client
computers, distribute and keep track of your software licenses and much, much more. The
purpose of this manual is to detail all Gizmo features and explain how to use them in full.
Gizmo Suite comprises 3 separate applications:
● Server Module
● Manager Module
● Client Module
Server
Server Module is the brain of the system. It communicates with all the Clients and Managers,
stores and retrieves data, deploys profiles, tracks charges etc. In order for Gizmo Suite to
work, the server must be running at all times. The Server Module does not have a user
interface. You will use the installation wizard to configure basic settings such as Database
type and license info. After the initial setup, configuration is performed using the Manager
Module.
Manager
Manager Module is the control of the system. It is used to configure all settings and
products, as a POS as well as computer maintenance interface. Via the Manager module
you add/edit Applications, create users, view reports etc. Multiple Manager Modules may be
running at any given time, although each operator may have an active shift on only one.
Client
Client Module is installed on every client computer and provides an enhanced interface for
the customer. It handles login, the application interface, and sales module. Client module
works in conjunction with the windows interface.

Deployment Module
The Deployment Tab is a powerful tool that helps you deploy files from Manager to clients
fast, easy and error-free. It can also be used to sync/update game files previously deployed.
You can select to deploy a preconfigured deployment profile, or enter information manually
for a one time deployment.
To deploy a pre-existing deployment profile, select the Application. If the deployment profile
is not associated with any applications, it will appear under "Unassigned Deployment
profiles". Next, select the executable the deployment profile is associated with. Finally select
the actual deployment profile.
Check the boxes next to target computers and click " Compare " to start the process.
Gizmo will check and compare source files with any existing files on each Gizmo Client, and
determine the files that need to be copied to each client. During the check (which varies
depending on the files' number & size) you can click cancel to abort. When the comparison
completes, the number of different files and folders, as well as the total size of the
different/missing files is reported for each client.
At this stage you can either click " Deploy " to initiate the file copy, or " Reset " to reset the
procedure and start from the beginning.
52
Gizmo manual v2
To perform a one-time deploy, instead of selecting a profile from the list, input source
(relevant to Gizmo manager) and destination folder manually. You may also use the "folder"
button to locate the source folder. Add any file/subfolder exclusions, using the "exclusions"
button.
Advanced menu adds a number of settings you can tweak to affect file comparison and
deployment.

Virtual CD Mounter Settings
Gizmo supports a number of Virtual CD Image software. These software are used to mount
virtual copies of cd images on the clients in order for other programs to work correctly. This
eliminates the need of distribution of physical disks to the clients.
Gizmo supports Daemon Tools Lite, Daemon Tools Pro, Farstone Virtual Drive, Alcohol
120% and Alcohol 52%.
First select the Virtual CD software you use from the drop-down menu. Gizmo auto-fills the
field with the default settings for the selected software. If you have installed the software to a
different location, edit the Virtual Image Mounter Path field to reflect the correct path. You
can modify the parameters used in mounting the images by editing the Virtual Image
Mounter Options field.
You can use any other Virtual CD Image software as long as it supports command line
execution. Gizmo sets the following variables only during image mounting.
Free Space Allocation
Before Gizmo starts copying a deployment profile on the client, it checks for available disk
space on the target partition. If the free space is not enough, and the "Allocate Free Space"
is enabled, Gizmo will attempt to make additional space by deleting older deployment
profiles.
Deletion is based on global application usage statistics (kept by Gizmo).
Furthermore, if "Always keep %..." is enabled, Gizmo will attempt to free extra disk space
equal to the % selected. This option ensures that there is always free space on the partition
for normal operation.
