The MCG Frequently Asked Questions

What is an MCG Internet Terminal or Kiosk?

The MCG has been designed to be a totally free standing, coin-operated Public Access Internet Terminal. It is a valuable tool for your customer and allows the user to send and check e-mails, surf the web, check bank accounts, review and make travel arrangements, play games and a lot, lot more.

How is access charged?

The MCG is fitted with a multi-coin acceptor and charges a fixed rate per minute. The rate can be set and changed by the operator.

Is it really 'plug and play'?

Every computer needs some specific configuration before being connected to the Internet. The MCG is factory-configured prior to shipping to known locations (with known connection characteristics). Upon arrival, all that is needed is a 13amp power supply and telecoms connection.

What Internet connectivity is required?

The MCG is designed to connect to the Internet through a conventional telephone line equipped with an 'always on' ISP, a standard Broadband link or, in remote areas without Broadband, a satellite link. We recommend a hardwired Broadband connection.

What about support?

Each installation is supported by a qualified regional distributor who will carry out the initial installation and training as well as giving on-going support.

Can I change the content?

The MCG is extremely versatile. The operator can set up favourite sites such as local attractions or sites of regional interest, screen savers, off-line web sites, local advertising and in-house promotional information within seconds.
