Kiosk mode: a rig the public cannot reconfigure
Kiosk mode locks the DNR settings on a rig so a customer sitting at it cannot change anything. Your lights, dashboards and profiles carry on running exactly as they are, and only the settings are covered.
It is part of DNR Enterprise and is not available on a personal membership.
Setting it up
- On the website, open Dashboard, Enterprise, Kiosk and set a PIN. One PIN covers every rig on your subscription.
- On the rig, open the DNR plugin and go to Enterprise, Kiosk. The status in the top right reads *This rig has your kiosk PIN* once it has one, and it checks on its own whenever you open the page.
- Press Lock this rig. The lock screen appears straight away.
Unlocking a rig. Type the PIN on the lock screen. That unlocks the current session only, so staff can adjust something and walk away without having to remember to lock it again. The Kiosk page also has Turn off kiosk mode to take the machine out of public service properly.
It re-locks on its own. Locking puts the machine into kiosk service, so the lock screen comes back after every restart until you turn it off. A rig that reboots overnight is locked again in the morning.
If the PIN is forgotten. Set a new one on the dashboard. The rig picks it up on its own. Nobody can read the old one back, including us.
The PIN can only be set on the website, never at the machine. That is what stops a customer setting their own PIN and locking you out of your own hardware.
It works offline. Each rig caches the PIN, so a venue with no internet can still unlock. A rig that cannot reach us keeps the PIN it already had.
It is never carried by a fleet setup, so publishing from an unlocked back office PC cannot unlock your floor.
Kiosk mode is a floor control rather than a security system: it stops a customer wandering into the settings. It does not stop somebody with access to the machine itself.
