System Start-up When the system is powered on, a bootloader runs which loads the Android operating system. This runs start-up scripts to set up and configure the terminal and to start enabled services. When an application is installed, once the unit is fully booted, the initial screen gives you the opportunity to enter the Terminal Setup by pressing the cog icon on the launcher start-up screen as shown below: The terminal will otherwise automatically proceed to run the installed application.
When the GT10 has the battery backup option installed the unit will continue to run following a power failure until the battery capacity reaches a low threshold where the graceful shutdown will be triggered. The unit will be powered off at the end of the process.
Terminal Recovery Software Reset Android provides a mechanism for the user to remove installed packages and data from the device. This is found under "Settings->Backup & reset->Factory data reset" menu. Recovery Menu The recovery menu can be accessed by pressing and holding the button marked "RECOVERY" whilst the terminal is powering up.

Terminal Setup Configuring Readers The GT10 can accommodate a wide range of reader types and credential format. Setting up a reader has two elements. Reader Type – this relates to the reader hardware and its connection to the system e.g. proximity, Wiegand, magstripe etc.
Terminal Setup Reader Configuration Depending on the reader type the options will vary. Readers are categorised as Proximity or Swipe, with subsections within each category for individual reader types. The example below shows a selection under the Proximity Reader heading where the reader type and decoder can be chosen. Page 28...
Terminal Setup Wiegand Bitmask In addition to the standard fixed decodes for reader data a configurable bit mask can be applied to create custom decodes. Selecting ‘Wiegand bitmask’ as the decoder type will open a dialogue for the bitmask to be entered.
Terminal Setup Testing Readers The GT10 includes a utility to display the output of a reader to validate correct functioning and setup for readers. The utility is accessed from the ‘Readers & peripherals’ dialogue as illustrated below: Terminal Health Information The GT10 monitors key elements of the system and can display their status, accessed by selecting health from the ‘Settings’...
Testing the Camera Selecting the Camera icon will enable the GT10’s camera and a live picture will appear on the terminal display. There is a camera active indicator to the right of the camera which is lit when the camera is operating.
The service also provides methods for easy provisioning and deployment via network or USB. For detailed information regarding the Software Update Service please contact Grosvenor Technology. The Software Update Service Application At the terminal the Software Update Service application can be run, this allows an administrator to: View the available updates for installed packages which have newer version(s) available in the remote repository.
A memory stick formatted as FAT32 is required and prepared with the Provisioning File loaded. For details of the memory stick preparation please contact Grosvenor Technology. Start the “USB Install” utility (from the Apps screen) on the terminal and insert the memory stick in one of the free USB connectors.
For a smear-free finish, polish with a dry, clean, lint-free cloth. DO NOT use any other janitorial products, acids, solvents, polishes or abrasives. As long as the care instructions for the GT10 are followed, there is no need for regular maintenance of the device (other than the battery).
