Facility
The systems created by Kretz to manage your equipment are developed 100% in JAVA, to allow installation on
any platform and not force you to use a proprietary operating system, thus avoiding paying licenses. The
installer used adapts to the characteristics of the system and allows installation on multiple platforms.
For correct installation follow the steps detailed below:

1. Turn on your computer and log in with the administrator user (or root for Linux) so that the operating
system allows you to install programs.

2. Insert the Kretz CD included in the purchased computer (if it does not run automatically, run the
install.html file). If the operating system gives you a security warning (for example, in the case of
Windows XP), allow the blocked content to run.

ENTERING THE SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME

The first time you enter the system, a welcome and system registration interface or window will appear, where
you must specify the system administrator user (the one who has all the permissions). You will need to enter the
username and password in duplicate (to confirm that it has been spelled correctly).
It is suggested to enter a short, easy-to-remember username, such as the first letter of your first name and your
last name, without spaces (for example, for Rodrigo Puopolo, register the user rpuopolo).

Note that both the username and password are case-sensitive, so rpuopolo is different from rPuopolo.

ENTRY TO THE SYSTEM

You must enter the correct username and password to use the iTegra management system. System user
management is detailed in the Create User item.

Both the user and the password are case sensitive, that is, the itegra user is different from the ITEGRA or iTegra
user.

The Team Departments table is used to associate all the PLUs of a section to a team. Sections that are not selected will
not be transmitted (if the section, nor its families and associated PLU's).

For the connection to be possible, it is important that both the system and the equipment have the same configured data,
that is, its IP and port (for TCP/IP or Wi-Fi connections), that they are physically connected and both are turned on. In the
case of Reports with serial port communication, it is necessary that the system equipment number is the same as that of
the Report .

iTegra System Manual REV. 005
IMPORT FROM FILE

This interface allows you to import data from a text file (ASCII format) to an entity or system table. In this way, if you have
a system that manages the PLUs (for example), you can export their data to a file with the format that best suits you and
import them into the iTegra system with this advanced tool to be able to transmit them to all the computers you have
configured on the network.
To configure an import, select the destination entity (for example PLU) and the file to import with the Select button. Once
selected, you will be able to see a preview of it where you will see a rule at the top that will indicate the X coordinate or
column.
Subsequently select if the different fields are separated by fixed widths (columns) or by some special character (for
example the comma), in this case you must specify it. In the table of fields to import, select the fields you want to import
and, if separated by a fixed width, the initial and final X coordinates that each field occupies (otherwise, if separated by a
special character, only the fields should be selected in the order in which they appear).
If necessary, a formula can be established for each field, so that a conversion is applied to the specified field for each
record. The available formulas are the following:

Formula Detail
= value; Equals the field to a given value. It is useful for assigning all PLUs (for example) to a specific
department. Example: =1;
/ worth;
Divides the value of a field by a specified value. It is useful, for example, when the value in the
ASCII file does not have decimals, then it is divided to import with decimal. Example: /100;
* worth; Multiplies the value of a field by a specified value. Example: *10;
EAN13() ;
Generates the check digit of an EAN 13 barcode that has only 12 digits. It is useful when
importing PLU's whose barcodes do not include the check digit. Example: EAN13();
TXT (qty,type); This function adapts the number of characters of the imported value. If the type is numeric
(INT) add zeros to the left, if it is alphanumeric (STR) add whitespace to the right. Examples:
TXT(14,INT); or TXT(32,STR);

Note that the formulas are detailed without spaces and always end with a semicolon. Formulas can be concatenated and
are resolved in the specified order.

You can store this configuration so as not to repeat the steps mentioned above by pressing the Save button (for which
we recommend always exporting your system data in the same format so as not to modify the configuration of this tool)
or execute the import by pressing the Import button .

IMPORT FROM DATABASE

In a similar way to the previous item, this functionality allows you to import data from a source external to the system,
only this source is not an ASCII file, but a database. To make the use of this tool more flexible and easy, it communicates
to the data source via ODBC (Control Panel, administrative tools, data sources), which allows communication to any
database, as long as said data source is configured. data in the operating system. Once this is done, select the entity to
import, enter the DSN name, user and password and press the corresponding button to test the connection. If correct,

CHANGE OF PRICE

This interface is a simplification of the PLU ABM, and is used to change the price of a PLU (product), since this is generally
the most frequent change made in the system. Of course, a change made in this interface will be reflected in the PLU ABM.

ABM COINS

Currencies allow you to view the price(s) of a PLU at different exchange rates. The amount of configured currencies can be
displayed on the plura device by pressing the Currency button when the customer consults the prices of a product. In the
case of Report scales, only the currency symbol 1 can be changed.
The required data is the currency code (which uniquely identifies a currency in the system, see observation), a description
that allows it to be identified, a symbol (several characters) that will appear on the equipment when viewing a price, the
quantity of decimals that currency has (for example, the dollar usually has two decimal places) and the conversion factor with
respect to the code 1 currency.
It is worth noting that the use of more than one currency will require more management in the system, since fluctuations
between currencies will have to be modified and transmitted to all teams so that the conversion of the price from one currency
to another is correct.

The interface format is ABM, for more information on how to use this type of interfaces or windows please go to their
respective section in the Appendix.

The system will require yes or yes the existence of the currency with code 1, which is the one that will appear by default when
consulting a price. Said currency must have a factor equal to one (1) since it is the reference currency.

The currency factor other than 1 should be calculated by doing 1 / currency rate (for example, for a dollar at 3.20 a unit with
respect to currency 1, you should do 1 / 3.20 = 0.3125).

ADVERTISING MESSAGES

An advertising message is transmitted when the equipment is not being used by any customer or operator. The time it takes
to appear after using the equipment or the time it takes to change the advertising message can be configured, for this see the
time configuration section of General Parameters.
This interface allows you to select for each device configured on the network, in each time range, which messages to display.

If the time ranges that are configured by default in the system do not satisfy you, you can modify them and add or remove
precision in the display of advertisements by pressing the ABM Schedules button.

The greater the number of time ranges, the more precise the transmission of advertising messages will be, but their
configuration will be more laborious. If you are not interested in viewing different advertisements at different times and you
want all your advertising messages to be transmitted continuously throughout the day, we recommend that you configure a
single time (by pressing the Delete button, adding a row to the table with the time start and end, for example 08:00 to 22:00
and pressing the Save button).

If you want to add, modify or delete advertisements, press the ABM Messages button and enter the required information.

This ABM has an MP3 player by pressing its respective button. As the plura price checker reproduces a limited fraction of
time, said tool will only reproduce the time that is supported by the Kretz
equipment, so that in this way you can know specifically what it will transmit to
the equipment connected to the network. The interface format is ABM, for more

An offer of the day is a text that appears on a particular day (one or more, depending on what has been selected in the
system) when the customer presses any button on a plura device without having previously passed a product in front of the
scanner. . If there is more than one offer, the customer will be able to navigate between them and view them all with the
respective scroll buttons. The necessary data is the offer code (which uniquely identifies it in the system), the text that will
appear on the display or screen of the plura device and the day on which said offer will be displayed. The associated PLU
number is to promote a particular product and is not mandatory information.

TRANSMIT NEWS

The transmission of news must be carried out as long as all the data has been transmitted to the equipment (see next point)
and allows speeding up the transmission since if the system is used to manage the information of the equipment, at the time
of transmission of news will only be sent the data that was added or modified since the last transmission.

Pressing this item will execute the JDataGate communication program that will be responsible for data transmission.

In any type of data transmission, if you have configured TCP/IP equipment, the transmission will be carried out in parallel
(since version 2.0 of iTegra). If you have more than one device with an RS232 (COM) connection, the transmission to each of
them will be sequential (chained).
For this reason, it is recommended for speed and security to work with TCP/IP equipment.

Technical support
Kretz S.A. strives to offer its customers the best product on the market and excellent technical support to assist the user.
If you have any problems with the installation or use of the Kretz equipment management system, questions or
suggestions, please contact your local distributor or technical service.

Appendix
TECHNICAL TERMS USED

• Manage: Manage information refers to everything necessary to create that information in the system, keep it
updated and delete it or consult it if necessary.

• PLU: A PLU is a set of data associated with a product.

• ABM: High (add) / Low (delete) / Modify. It is an interface or window that manages data.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

• Can the system be installed on a PC that does not have Windows installed?
Yes, the Kretz equipment management system is developed 100% in JAVA, a state-of-the-art multiplatform
language that allows operation on any operating system.

• What is the difference between transmitting complete data and transmitting news?
When transmitting complete data, the system sends all the information available in the system to all Kretz
devices, however, the transmission of news only sends the information that was managed since the last
transmission. Example: Suppose you manage 30,000 PLUs and want to transmit them to the devices on your
network. If you select full data transmission, the system will send the 30,000 PLUs to each of the devices. Now
suppose you modified two (2) of them, if you select news transmission only those two PLUs will be sent (and
not the 30,000 that would be sent with the other option), which means a substantial gain in transmission time.

Text box: Area within a window intended for entering information using your PC keyboard.

HOW TO USE AN ABM INTERFACE

An ABM interface is used to register (add), modify, deregister (delete), or consult a specific record. To simplify the
explanation of the use of these interfaces we will use the example of creating a new user.
When running the interface in its initial state, blank (empty) text boxes appear and the Save , Modify and Delete buttons
are disabled.

If you want to consult information about a particular user, you must fill out the code text box and press the TAB or
ENTER key. Next, all the information related to the entered code will be displayed (which in this case is 1).

The Modify and Delete buttons will be enabled. If you want to modify any data, do so and press the corresponding
button. If you want to delete that record, press the Delete button.

If you want to see all the records managed by this interface (in this case all users of the system) you must press the All
button.

If you want to add a record, press the Add button and complete the required data. The system will suggest a code that
corresponds to the consecutive one of the last registration entered, you can change it if necessary.
