Error MessagePreparing kiosk in the background: Please wait…


This message implies that the Kiosk application has been restarted and is preparing to be launched. In the event this screen is still showing after 5 minutes, it may indicate a disruption in the network to the kiosk.


To rectify the issue, follow steps below first.  If issue persist contact the RIW Service Desk for support.

 

Troubleshooting steps

  • Open Kiosk door. 
  • Restart PC device (little black box inside kiosk – button should be on the side).
  • Wait for device to restart and launch.     
  • Confirm network is still available (check router lights are flashing green).
  • Wait 5 minutes to see if the error message is resolved.

 

NOTE: Avoid restarting the kiosk directly from the power point, which will also restart the router.  Routers can sometimes take up to 10 minutes to connect.
