Key benefits and features of using the IT11 Ease of use The IT11 is easy to use, with up to four buttons for normal user operation, such as clock in, clock out, break in and break out. Plug-and-play deployment means the IT11 is also easy to install.
The IT11 is also fitted with a button cell type battery on the main PCB to maintain the real-time clock (RTC) of the device when power is removed. This battery typically has a service life of around 10 years. The battery should only be replaced by suitably qualified engineers and care should be taken to avoid damage to the PCB caused by ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge).
Installation Safety The IT11 should be installed in accordance with the instructions documented in this User Guide. The terminal should be installed in compliance with any Health and Safety legislation and it is recommended that any electrical or network connections to the terminal are undertaken by a suitably qualified engineer.

Offer the IT11 unit close to the wall bracket and connect Ethernet and/or power cables. Position the IT11 unit slightly above the wall bracket with its back parallel with the wall and make sure all cables are free to move.
The EM-BB-IT11 is a power supply Back-up Battery module capable of running the terminal under power supply fail conditions. Based on a Lithium-Polymer battery the module will run the IT11 for 1 - 2 hours, depending on the hardware configuration.
USB flash drive 4 GB * The IT11 has POE capability, however, if a POE switch is not available, the terminal can be powered using a POE type injector or regulated 12V power adaptor that has a lead terminated with a 2.1mm coaxial type plug.
IT11 start up When the IT11 is powered on, a bootloader runs which loads the Linux operating system. This runs start- up scripts to set up and configure the terminal and to start enabled services.
Chapter 5 Terminal set up INTRODUCTION This Chapter contains the following information: • “Accessing the terminal setup via USB keyboard” on page 5-1. The set up menus allow the terminal configuration to be changed at the terminal. Note: when connectivity is achieved between the terminal and a remote computer then the terminal can be configured remotely either by downloading data using server software, such as CustomExchange, or by using tools such as SSH and AssistIT: for more information see Remote Connections on page 6-1.

Chapter 6 Remote connections Using FTP You can transfer files to and from the terminal using FTP. It is recommended that files are only copied to and from the /mnt/user partition or /tmp directory. On Windows platforms the open source program FileZilla can be used: Note: the FTP service must be enabled as part of the terminal configuration.
Chapter 6 Remote connections Once connected, the remote terminal’s live display is shown in a window on the computer’s desktop. Using AssistIT If the AssistIT service is enabled, the terminal connects to a chat room allowing the support representative to interrogate the terminal’s configuration, as well as access to other remote control services. Full instructions on how to use this feature can be found in the AssistIT User Manual.
“The login password” on page 7-1. • “Recovering lost passwords” on page 7-2. The IT11 terminal uses two passwords, the PIN (Personal Identification Number) and the remote Login password. This section explains their purpose and how you can change them. The terminal PIN You need to enter the PIN at the terminal to access the Terminal Setup.
Chapter 7 Security & passwords For the password to become active you must either: • Reboot the terminal, or • Run the following command: $ sh /etc/init.d/S38passwd.sh restart Note: when using the cfgset command to save a new password or PIN, you must use the -p option as the terminal saves the password in an encrypted form.
• “Additional information on file downloads” on page 8-2. One of the strengths of the IT11 terminal is its ability to deploy an application using either a USB memory stick or a network connection. Note: generic terminal application programs are available, however, some customisation or even creation of a bespoke solution may be required and this should be done in consultation with your system integrator.
• Terminal Setup > Application > Install from network The user is asked for an ID and a PIN. The terminal then connects to the Grosvenor Server and downloads the application, firmware and pre-configuration file for that ID.
