Acendo Book Scheduling Panels
Overview
The ACB-2110, 10" Acendo Book Scheduling Panel (FG4221-10) and The ACB-2107, 7" Acendo Book Scheduling Panel (FG4221-07) are standalone touch panels that integrate directly with popular room scheduling software like Microsoft Exchange, Office 365 and Google Calendar without additional system hardware requirements. The user interface background color and built-in room availability bars change between red and green to show room availability so users can easily locate and book an available room directly from the panel and, if that room is currently booked, users can quickly locate the nearest available room or the next available time with ease.
Leveraging the style and cost-efficiency of our award winning Modero S Series Touch Panel, Acendo Book Scheduling Panels include SmoothTouch™ Technology, a brilliant full-color high-resolution display, wide viewing angle of screen and availability bar LEDs, and a low profile design for a subtle aesthetic. The ACB-2110/2107 can be mounted on any flat surface, including glass or stone, inside or outside a conference room or classroom.
Acendo Book Scheduling Panels are easy to install using a one-time, panel-based configuration wizard, to get the panel operational in a matter of minutes with minimal training.
NOTE: For end-user instructions on using the Acendo Book panels once they are installed and configured, refer to the Acendo Book Scheduling Panels - User Guide section on page 66.

CAUTION: Do NOT use abrasives of any type to clean the device, as abrasives may permanently damage or remove the device's finish.
Installation
Overview
Acendo Book Scheduling (wall mount) Touch Panels can be installed via several mounting options:
- Use the included clear plastic Backbox to attach the panel to most standard wall materials.
- Other optional AMX mounting solutions include the MSA-MMK-xx Multi Mount Kit, the MSA-AMK-xx Any Mount Kit, and the CB-MXSA-xx Rough-In Box. Refer to the Quick Start Guide included with each mounting kit for instructions.
A Note About Wall and Rack Installation
Some products are installed in areas of differing temperature and cooling methodologies. These include products installed in walls, racks, cabinets, etc. Those areas may have different temperatures and/or cooling approaches that must be taken into consideration to maintain the product within the specified operating temperature.
FIG. 6 shows an AMX device installed in a wall with a filled volume (such as with insulation or concrete), as well as with a closed volume (such as between studs in an otherwise finished wall). The diagram shows how heat generated by the device or other devices may have no way to escape, and may build up to levels that may affect device operation.

Installation Recommendations
During any installation, a lack of ventilation may produce conditions that may adversely affect the device's operation. In these circumstances, special care must be made to make sure that temperatures within enclosed areas do not exceed the device's maximum rated temperature.
NOTE: While the outside temperature of the device may be at or below its maximum operating temperature, special care must be taken before and during installation to ensure that the maximum operating temperature is not exceeded within wall or rack installation spaces.
Mounting Options
Acendo Book Scheduling Panels can be installed via several mounting options:
Use the included clear plastic Backbox to attach the panel to most standard wall materials.
Other optional AMX mounting solutions include the MSA-MMK2-07/10 Multi Mount Kits, and the MSA-AMK2-07/10 Any Mount Kits, and CB-MXSA-07/10 Rough-In Boxes. Refer to the Quick Start Guide included with each mounting kit for instructions.
Power Over Ethernet
Power for Acendo Book Scheduling Panels is supplied via Power Over Ethernet (PoE), utilizing an AMX-certified PoE injector such as the PS-POE-AF-TC PoE Injector (FG423-83). The incoming Ethernet cable should be connected to the RJ-45 port on the ACB-2110/2107.
Plastic Backbox
Acendo Book Scheduling Panels come with a clear plastic Backbox. This Backbox can be used to mount the touch panel into most standard wall materials. The Backbox can also used to mount the panel into other mounting options.

NOTE: For typical mounting surfaces, such as drywall, use the locking tabs as the primary method for securing the Backbox to the surface. For thin walls or solid surfaces, use mounting screws (not included).
STEP 1: Install the Plastic Backbox
Use the included Installation Template to determine the placement of the Backbox in the mounting surface. The outside edges of the template are the same dimensions as the touch panel, which allows you to troubleshoot possible conflicts with wall edges, doors, and other potential obstacles.
NOTE: Prepare the area by removing any screws or nails from the drywall before beginning the cutout process.

The templates are marked to ensure that the touch panel and Backbox are properly aligned.
- After ensuring proper placement, cut an opening in the mounting surface for the Backbox, using the included Installation Template as a guide.
NOTE: When installing the Backbox, make sure that the assembly is in the correct position and in the correct place. Once the locking tabs are extended and locked into place, removing the Backbox may be difficult without having access to the back of the wall or causing damage to the wall.
NOTE: Consider making the actual cutout opening slightly smaller than the provided dimensions. This provides a margin of error if the opening needs to be expanded. Too little wall material removed is always better than too much.
-
Thread the incoming cables (Ethernet and Micro-USB) from their terminal locations through the surface opening, leaving enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.
-
Remove the Backbox knockouts and thread incoming cables through the knockout holes.
-
Gently push the Backbox into the mounting surface.
- This Backbox uses two Locking Tabs to secure the Backbox to the wall. For typical mounting surfaces, such as drywall, the locking tabs are the primary method for securing the Backbox to the wall.
- To ensure a stable installation, the thickness of the wall material must be a minimum of .50 inches (1.27cm) and a maximum of .875 inches (2.22cm). The mounting surface should also be smooth and flat. For thin walls or solid surfaces, use mounting screws (not included) - see FIG. 8.
- Extend the Locking Tabs by tightening the Locking Tab screws until snug.
- FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 show the Locking Tabs on the ACB-2110 and ACB-2107 Backboxes:

CAUTION: The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the plastic Backbox is 5 IN-LB [56 N-CM]. Excessive torque on the tab screws can strip out the locking tabs or damage the Backbox.
- Extend the Locking Tabs only AFTER the Backbox is inserted into the wall.
- When installing the Backbox, make sure that it is positioned correctly.
- The Backbox is clear to allow visual confirmation that the tabs have been extended and are gripping the wall, as well as in assisting with removal if necessary.
STEP 2: Insert Connectors on the Touch Panel
- Before installing the touch panel into the Backbox, connect the Ethernet and USB cables to the rear of the panel.
- Remove power at the terminal end before continuing with the installation.
NOTE: Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The panel must be installed with the connectors attached before being inserted into the mounting surface.
STEP 3: Secure the Touch Panel To the Backbox
The Backbox uses notches and tabs on the front edges (top and bottom) to secure the panel into place. Follow the steps below to install the panel into the Backbox, starting the upper edge of the touch panel:
UPPER TABS FIRST
- Center the top edge of the touch panel against the upper outside edge of the Backbox and latch the top of the panel onto the Backbox top-hooks (FIG. 14):

- Reconnect the terminal Ethernet and USB to their respective locations on either the Ethernet port.
Removing the ACB-2110/701 Panel from the Backbox
The tabs on the bottom edge of the Backbox lock down the ACB-2110 and must be unlatched in order to remove the touch panel from the Backbox. To do this, you'll need a thin probe such as an straightened paper clip, or the (optional) MXSA-REM-TL Bezel Removal Tool:
NOTE: The (optional) MXSA-REM-TL, Bezel Removal Tool (FG5968-99) provides a convenient method to release these clips. The Bezel Removal Tool makes it easy to locate the appropriate release points for each panel size. Refer to the MXSA-REM-TL Quick Start Guide for details.
- With a thin probe, carefully press straight into the access holes on the bottom of the bezel (near the center of the bottom tabs) to disconnect the two bottom clips (FIG. 16, FIG. 17).

Setup Wizard: Step 5 - GROUP
Acendo Book touch panels can be configured either as a Master or a Member of a Scheduling Panel Group. Members of a Group communicate with the Master panel, which enables panels to browse the schedules of all Member panels in the same Group. This provides users with the ability to schedule a meeting in any room included in the Scheduling Panel Group, from any panel in the Group. For example, when a room is occupied, users can browse other rooms and schedule a meeting in any of the rooms in the Group.
Use the options in the GROUP page to configure this panel as either the Master, or a Member of a Scheduling Panel Group. Note that there can be only one Master panel for a Group. If there is only one stand-alone Acendo Book panel, then it must be configured as a Master.
NOTE: All Acendo Book scheduling panels in a Group must have firmware version 1.1.x or higher. Scheduling panels running version 1.0.x will not show availability information correctly; a room listed in the Available Rooms page (after pressing Browse Rooms) will be listed as "NOT AVAILABLE".
NOTE: Up to 49 Acendo Book panels can be configured as Members of a Master panel's Group (for a total of 50 panels including the Master). However, note that when configuring Scheduling Groups, smaller Room Groups typically have quicker responsiveness for "Browse Rooms" requests.
Note that when this page is opened, Master is selected by default. Therefore the configuration options presented are specific to configuring this panel as a Master (FIG. 36):

Configuring the Master Panel
Only one Acendo Book panel can be assigned as the Master panel. If there only one Acendo Book panel, then it must be configured as the Master (see FIG. 36 on page 29).
- In the Setup Wizard: Step 5 - GROUP page, select Master.
- Enter a Username and Password for this panel. These credentials will be required for the Member panels to communicate with the Master panel.
- Press Next to proceed to the ROOM page.
Configuring Member Panels
Once an Acendo Book panel has been configured as the Master panel, up to 49 Acendo Book panels can be configured as Members of the Master panel's Group:

| Exchange: Intermittent issues connecting to calendar server'SSH logs show "The request failed. The server cannot service this request right now. Try again later."Problem Possible Solution(s) | Exchange throttling parameters may need to be adjusted. |
| Exchange: Meeting Reservation Not Indicated on the Panel (No Error Message)When reserving a meeting (in Exchange), the meeting never shows up on the Acendo Book panel, and the panel is not indicating an error. | The Exchange Administrator should create a Service Account and Room Delegate, and enable "Auto Accept" for meeting reservations from an Acendo Book panel, as described below:1) Creating a Service AccountThis simply a user account.

The default value is false.NOTE 2: In the scenario that you do not want the recurring meetings rejected when they have an end date beyond the booking window; you will need to change the AllowConflicts parameter tofalse.When the AllowConflicts parameter is true, a recurring meeting request is automatically declined if the meetings start on or before the date specified by the BookingWindowInDays parameter, and the meetings extend beyond the specified date.When the AllowConflicts parameter isfalse, a recurring meeting request is automatically accepted if the meetings start on or before the date specified by the BookingWindowInDays parameter, and the meetings extend beyond the specified date. However, the number of meetings is reduced so meetings won't occur after the specified date.When BookingWindowInDays is 0, an end date isn't enforced for any recurring meetings.When BookingWindowInDays is greater than 0 and EnforceSchedulingHorizon is true, the recurring meeting request is automatically declined if the end date is greater that the value specified by BookingWindowInDays.When BookingWindowInDays is greater than 0 and EnforceSchedulingHorizon isfalse, the end date of a recurring meeting is automatically truncated to the value specified by BookingWindowInDays.

| Problem Possible Solution(s) | |
| Exchange/Off ice 365: Conflicting Meetings Indicated at Incorrect TimeIf a meeting is scheduled for a time that has already been reserved for a given room, It is a Conflicting Meeting. | If conflicts are allowed (in Exchange/Office 365), then conflicting meetings may be indicated at a time other than what was requested by the user. To disable conflicts in Exchange/Office 365, verify that the AllowConflicts property is set to False for the room with which the Acendo Book panel is associated.Once disabled, conflicting meetings will be declined by the scheduling system. |
| Exchange/Office 365: The Meeting Subject shown on Acendo Book indicates the organizer of the meeting instead of the meeting subject | In order for the Acendo Book panel to be able to read the privacy mode flag, the Exchange resource's "-AddOrganizerSubject" has to be set tofalse.By default, this is set to true. |
| Exchange/Office 365: Private meeting flag not detected by Acendo Book panel | the Exchange resource's "--RemovePrivateProperty" has to be set tofalse.By default, this is set to $true. |
| Exchange/Office 365: Private meeting flag not updated when private flag is changed from checked to unchecked. | To change meeting from private to "visible", delete the meeting and re-enter it. |

Acendo Book Scheduling Panels - Troubleshooting Topics (Cont.)
A room listed in the Available Rooms screen (after pressing Browse Rooms) is always listed as "NOT AVAILABLE".
All Acendo Book scheduling panels in a Group must have firmware version 1.1.x or higher. Scheduling panels running version 1.0.x will not show availability information correctly.
Configuring Delegation (Exchange 2010)
The following example illustrates configuring a delegate that can manage scheduling for the Room Mailbox:
- In the Resource Policy tab of the mailbox Properties dialog, click Add
- Select the user that will become a delegate of the Room Mailbox (FIG. 152):

text_image
Conference Room 1 Properties General User Information Address and Phone Organization Account Member Of E-Mail Addresses Malbox Settings Mail Flow Settings Resource In-Policy Requests Resource Out-of-Policy Requests Malbox Features Resource General Resource Policy Resource Information Specify when the resource mailbox can be scheduled. Allow conflicting meeting requests Allow repeating meetings Allow scheduling only during working hours Reject repeating meetings that have an end date beyond the booking window Booking window (days) 180 Maximum duration (minutes) 1440 Maximum conflict instances: 0 Conflict percentage allowed 0 Specify delegates of the mailbox Add... Name Organizational UnitFIG. 152 Mailbox Properties dialog - Resource Profiles tab
Delegates also need Editor access to the calendar and free/busy folder of the mailbox itself so that they can manage meeting requests. There are two ways to achieve this:
- Option 1: Grant an administrator Full Access Permissions to the Room Mailbox, open it in Outlook, and edit the Calendar and Mailbox permissions.
- Option 2: Grant the delegate Full Access Permissions to the Room Mailbox
The following example uses Option #2:
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "Delegation Room 1" -User rmsservice -AccessRights FullAccess The delegate rmsservice can now manage room bookings.
The example in FIG. 153 indicates a meeting that is still unconfirmed, waiting for rmsservice to approve or reject it:

text_image
Calendar Conference Room 1 1 3m 30 Finance kickoff: Alan Reid 30 Quick Print Accept Edit the Response before Sending ? Teptative Send the Response Now × Decline Do Not Send a Response Propgise New TimeFIG. 153 Unconfirmed Meeting Indicated (waiting for rmsservice to approve or reject)
After rmsservice approves the meeting the organizer (in this example - "Alan Reid") receives a message confirming acceptance.

Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity "Room222" -ResourceDelegates "ed@contoso.com", "ayla@contoso.com", "tony@contoso.com"
Appendix B: Configuring Acendo Book Panels for Microsoft Exchange & Office 365
Overview
This section provides information regarding setting up Acendo Book panels to communicate with Exchange 2010/2103/2016 or Office 365 Servers.
Acendo Book Service Account
The Acendo Book Service Account on the Exchange or Office 365 server must meet the following requirements:
- The account must have an associated Exchange Mailbox.
- The account information entered here must match the account information for the Acendo Book Service Account (as entered in the CALENDAR Settings page (see page 39).
-
The account must have rights to add, modify, and cancel/delete appointments in each Exchange Room Mailbox with which Acendo Book will synchronize. This may be accomplished via any of the following three methods:
-
Delegate access to the mailbox.
- Impersonate the mailbox owner using Exchange Impersonation.
- Assign full-access permissions to the mailbox.
Microsoft Exchange / Office 365: Username and Calendar Email IDs
The Exchange 2010/2103/2016 or Office 365 Server has a unique User Name for each user and a unique Calendar Email ID for each room. The Username and Calendar Email ID is entered for each room in the CALENDAR Settings page (see FIG. 56 on page 39).
To configure each Acendo Book user and room for use with Microsoft Exchange / Office 365:
- Enter the Username: Enter a valid name for a user with access rights that are appropriate for the room specified in the Calendar Email ID field (see below). The Username must include the fully qualified domain name
Example: JaneDoe@acme.onmicrosoft.com
- Enter the Calendar Email ID: Enter the email address for a valid room. The Calendar Email ID must include the fully qualified domain name.
Example: ConfRoom1@acme.onmicrosoft.com
NOTE: The Calendar Email ID field is the only field that is unique to each room: "Server URL", "username", and "password" are the same across all rooms in the system (FIG. 154):

Microsoft Exchange / Office 365: Certificate Validation
The Exchange 2010/2103/2016 or Office 365 Server has a unique User Name for each user and a unique Calendar Email ID for each room. The Username and Calendar Email ID is entered for each room in the CALENDAR Settings page (see FIG. 56 on page 39).

For Exchange 2010, see information under Resource Information in the Use the EMC to configure resource mailbox properties section:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124255(v=exchg.141).aspx
Exchange 2013, 2016 and Exchange Online require the use of Exchange cmdlets to change the room mailbox properties.
The cmdlet of interest is the Set-CalendarProcessing which will allow you to configure what information Exchange provides to the Acendo Book panel.
Set-CalendarProcessing parameters of particular significance:
- AddOrganizerSubject
- DeleteComments
- DeleteSubject

| Exchange Online, Exchange Server 2016 | https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335046(v=exchg.160).aspx |
Privacy Flag
Acendo Book panels use Exchange, Office 365 or Google "privacy" flag. A meeting marked as private will behave the same way the global Acendo Book "Privacy Mode" behaves (see the Privacy Mode section on page 34).
In order for the Acendo Book panel to be able to read the privacy mode flag in Exchange and Office 365, the Exchange server must set the room's "-RemovePrivateProperty" to \false. By default, this is set to \true.
Appendix C: Creating Room Mailboxes
Overview
Exchange 2010, 2013, 2016 and Office 365 use Room Mailboxes to manage meeting room schedules. Each Acendo Book location (meeting room) that will synchronize with the Microsoft scheduling application (Exchange / Office 365) must be represented by a Room Mailbox.
