T2 and Management Portal
User guide

1
What is the management portal?
The management portal is an enterprise time and security
control platform.
The family of Mitrench terminal hardware enables you to
use a variety of clocking options, including face, ngerprint
and prox devices, to capture employee time clocking and
much more.
How does the management portal
work?
The T2 connects over the internet to the Mitrench
management portal. The portal provides graphical
conguration tools and real-time visibility of security status
throughout the world.
The T2 automatically performs cong and the
management portal OS updates. No on-site servers
or software are required to control and manage
your security estate.
What is a T2?
A T2 is a biometric authentication terminal used to allow a
business to authenticate and track clocking data for users.
The users do this by interacting with the device to register
their arrival and departure time.
Additional applications and features are available on the
device according to the customer requirements.

Installation procedure
Before use the device should be wall mounted using the supplied steel wall bracket.
We recommend that the device is installed by a suitably qualied installation
technician.
Installation steps
Fix the steel wall bracket to the wall in an appropriate position, ensuring
there is enough space to mount the T2.
1
Plug the cables into the T2 as specied within a Mitrench installation plan.
3
If you are a Mitrench installation professional, you may plug the power
into the T2 and turn it on at the mains.
4
Switch the battery to on. The T2 will begin to boot up.
5
Run all necessary cables to their position near the terminal. The T2 can be
cabled directly into the back via a wall conduit or from underneath. The rear
access port is recommended when an IP66 installation is required.
2
Screw the rear plate onto the back of the T2.
6
Screw the set screws into the bottom of the T2.
7
Hang the T2 on the wall bracket.
8
Install the two retaining nylon locking nuts onto the set screws and tighten.
9

6
At this point the unit will need adding to the network. This is covered in ‘Network settings
and hardware’ on page 13.
This stage of commissioning is undertaken by a Mitrench specialist and we do not
recommend a customer attempt to add the unit to their network, until fully trained
by a Mitrench specialist to do so.
Cabling and physical installation options
The T2 supports a wide variety of installation options. If installed correctly the T2 can
offer full IP66 water and dust ingress protection to support use both outside and in
environmentally challenging environments.
The unit may be powered by Power over Ethernet or a dedicated low voltage DC power
supply. Mitrench only recommend the use of a Mitrench supplied and certied power
supply with Mitrench hardware.

7
Wall mounting bracket
The T2 comes with a strong steel wall mounting bracket.
The rear bracket plate should be screwed to the wall with a recommended minimum
of M3.5 x 40mm screw and rawl plug. In the case of an IP66 installation please see
guidelines in the IP66 Section.
Cables can be fed through the circular hole ready for the T2.
Once all the cables have been inserted, the T2 backplate can then be screwed to the T2,
the set screws screwed into the holes in the bottom of the T2, and the T2 hooked onto
the wall bracket.
The T2 is secured in place by two nylon locking nuts tted to the set screws.
Cable entry
Cables can enter the T2 from the rear or from below.

8
Placement
IP66 installations
The T2 is IP66 certied - installations that require protection against the ingress of water
or dust must use the rear cable entry.
Rubber seals are supplied as standard with all units and must be left tted to the cable
slots in the bottom of the unit before the rear plate is afxed. Before the wall bracket is
screwed to the wall, care should be take to ensure the wall is at and ush to the bracket.
To ensure water does not gather behind the the T2 supporting bracket, exterior grade
waterproof sealant needs to be applied. A ring of sealant should be piped onto the wall,
1cm from the outside edge of the bracket and cover the entire circumference prior to
screwing it to the wall.
Cables should be channeled into or presented through the wall and fed through the
holes in the T2 brackets. Once securely fastened, the two neoprene seals will compress
to ensure a watertight seal.
It is imperative that the DC power adapter should not be left exposed or
positioned externally. It should be placed inside and the long lead run down the
channel and into the back of the T2 through the waterproof aperture.
Similarly, where an ethernet cable is used to power the device, the cable should be
carried down a waterproof channel and in through the entry hole.

Conguration and deployment process
Before you turn on the T2, build the appropriate conguration using the graphical
conguration screen on the management portal.
Scenarios for most hardware devices are applied as templates and adaptively assign the
wiring connections on the rear of the T2.
When on-site, wire the solution exactly as detailed in the graphical conguration
(downloadable).
During the setup phase for the T2, a device specic engineer pin code will be
required in order to enable and congure the device.
Under no circumstances should
your DC power supply or PoE
switch be placed outside or
exposed to water.
Optional conduit adapter
For installations requiring a bottom
entry, Mitrench can supply an optional
conduit adapter which enables power
and data cables coming in via a 20mm
standard conduit to be junctioned to the
bottom of the T2.
In this case the two rubber bungs are
removed to enable the cables to enter
into the bottom of the unit.

Network settings and hardware registration
The T2 can connect to the internet in two ways.
The network will failover to the next live available network transport in the event of a
failure. If you have Ethernet and Wi-Fi and the ethernet fails, the unit will automatically
switch over to Wi-Fi.
Once booted the T2 will ask you to select your preferred network connection and
congure DHCP or a static IP address.
Physical cabled ethernet Industry standard Wi-Fi B/G
(via an industry standard
Cat5/6 RJ45)
Adding a T2 to your network
The T2 uses standard TCP/IP networking.
1
No special conguration of your rewall should be necessary providing the
IP address is granted internet access and the following outbound ports are
freely available.
3
Ports required: 80, 443, 123
4
Upon acquiring a static or DHCP IP address it will attempt to connect to
the portal to identify itself. During normal operations it will make regular
outbound connections to the T2 management portal to check for updates
and deliver operational status, clockings and alerts.

Powering on and resetting the T2
Your T2 will need the battery switch turning to the on position during installation and
before the unit is nally screwed into place.
Note: The factory reset option will erase the T2 and require it to be
registered again. The current cong and user data will be restored back to the
device after re- registering. This will require a new engineering pin which can
be found within the portal
If your security policy mandates the use of third party client software, specialised
certications, domain login or any other type of enhanced security service, then
device specic provision will need to be made, or the T2 placed into a discrete
VLAN or DMZ with access.
If your network security requires the hardware MAC address this can be found
within the Settings page on the T2.
When the device is added to the management portal, an engineering pin code will be
required in order for the unit to register itself into the correct company account and to
download the correct conguration.
The engineering pin code(s) will be supplied to the installation engineer prior to
installation. It is vital to remember that there is a unique code for each specic T2.
The switch is located on the back of the unit behind the backplate.
