Prepare Kiosks for Power Cuts

1. 1
   Keep every kiosk on charge all day, so it starts a power cut with a full battery.
2. 2
   Put your router, and any printer, on a UPS or inverter.
3. 3
   Give kiosks a second connection, such as a tablet with a data SIM or a mobile Wi-Fi device.
4. 4

   After a cut, check battery and connection for each device in ConsoleDevices.

5. 5
   Lock each kiosk to Agoo again if it restarted.

Good to Know

• A device shows as Offline in Devices when Agoo hasn't heard from it for 15 minutes.
• Devices lists each one's battery, whether it's on mains power, its connection and its last sync.
• An iPad managed with an MDM's Single App Mode comes back to Agoo by itself after a restart.
• Practise what offline looks like with new staff every few months.

If Something Goes Wrong

• A kiosk ran flat and restarted. Open Agoo Kiosk and start Guided Access or screen pinning again.
• The router is off but the kiosk has power. The kiosk keeps working offline and syncs once the network returns.
