|
|
| FingerTec terminals are have a variety of functions. However, not all of the functions are preloaded into the terminal. This is to help the terminal run smoothly, without having unnecessary functions loaded in the device. You may, however, load the compatible functions that you wish to use, into your terminal using this function. There is a total 4 pages in the tool, which are: |
|
General
to add general functions in relevant models (Printer | Work Code | USB encryption | User ID Length | Mifare FP no | RFID | SMS | Mifare as ID | DHCP) | BioBridge Vx |
Access Control
to add functions to models supporting access control only (Antipassback | False log | GrpVer wt Timer | Holiday setting | Master-Slave | Clear Offline Door Event Logs | Wiegand output) | Do not save TZ log | Do not save AP log | i-Kadex | IP Address | Adaptec Plus |
WiFi Settings
to configure WiFi settings to models supporting WiFi (SSID | Network Type | Auth Mode | Encrypt Mode | IP Address | Password | Point IP) |
GPRS Settings
to configure GPRS setting to models that support GPRS ( APN | User name | Password | Dial number | Web Server IP | Web Server Port | Proxy Server IP | Proxy Server Port) |
|
| |
| The tool always checks the model of connected FingerTec terminal and the compatible functions that it supports. If the model does not support certain functions, those functions or pages are deactivated. This is to prevent you from accidently adding an incompatible setting to the terminal and causing a problem with the operation. The standard operation is as below: |
|
|
|
| Connect the terminal to a PC/network > Insert IP address (See 1) > Press Connect (See 2) > System reads information from the terminal and displays it in the status column (See 4) > Click General | Access Control | WiFi | GPRS (look at 3) > Select the functions to add (See 3) > Click Update (See 2, the Connect button changes to Update) > Tool updating terminal > Press the Restart button to restart terminal so that the changes can take effect > Finish |

| Chapter 2 • The Details of Functions |
| |
| 2.1 General |
| As discussed, you can usually add the most of the general functions to your terminals. However some functions are excluded from certain terminals e.g. Q2i can support user ID ranges from 5 to 9-digit, therefore you will notice the function User ID Length is deactivated if you are connecting to Q2i. There are a total of 9 general functions to add: |
|
Printer
The terminal can connect to a thermal printer via the RS232 cable to print a receipt (attendance reporting receipt) for users who have verified. Turn ON to connect to a thermal printer. |
Work Code
The terminal allows users to insert work codes (2-digit number) as remark to their unusual attendance records. Select ON if you want to use Work Code. |
USB encryption
The terminal encrypts the content of data (user information and attendance records) when downloading into a USB flask disk. Select ON to allow terminals to encrypt the data during USB flask disk transferring. |
User ID Length
The terminal supports a maximum of 9-digit user ID, however the length of the user ID can be shortened to 5, 6, 7, 8-digit. Select the value to update to the terminal. |
Mifare FP no
A terminal that supports Mifare writes 1 fingerprint template into 1 piece of Mifare card during enrollment. However you can maximize the number to 2, 3 or 4 fingerprint templates into 1 Mifare card. Select the value to update to terminal. |
RFID
A terminal that supports RFID is able to read RFID cards to enroll and verify. However in case you do not want to use the RFID function, you can disable it by selecting NO. |
SMS
The terminal can display short messages (public and private) on the screen of terminal. Select ON if you want to upload this function to your terminal. |
Mifare as ID
A terminal that supports Mifare can opt not to write any fingerprint templates into the Mifare card, instead, the terminal only reads the number from Mifare card as a Card ID (similar to the RFID card). Select ON if you would like to use Mifare cards as RFID cards. |
DHCP
You need to assign an IP address to the terminal for a LAN connection. However you can allow the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the terminal. Turn ON if you want to do so. |
BioBridge Vx (updated 07-12-11)
To switch the Fingerprint algorithm version between VX9.0 & VX10.0 remotely using the tools. |
|
| |
| 2.2 Access Control |
| This page only applies to models that support access control features. You will see the page is deactivated if the connected terminal does not support access control features. |
|
Antipassback
You must install 2 units of access control terminals to support this function. Users must verify every time during entry or exit. In the event there is missing entry or exit records, the terminal will block users from opening the door. Select ON to use the function. |
False log
The terminal always keeps a special log (False Log) in case of failed verifications. However keeping false logs consumes the storage capacity of the terminals. Only select ON if you would like to record how many times the terminal fails to verify users. GrpVer wt Timer – This is an enhancement of the Group Verification method. The terminal changes the verification methods according to time. Users need to verify using a different verification combo/ methods from time to time. |
Holiday setting
Preset the date of holiday to the terminals, and assign time zone to limit the access during holiday. Turn ON if you want to control the accessibility of users during holiday. |
Master-Slave
You must install 2 units of access control terminals then to use this function. It is a must for you to define to each terminal as Master or Slave. Do not assign both as Master or both as Slave. |
Mifare FP no
A terminal that supports Mifare writes 1 fingerprint template into 1 piece of Mifare card during enrollment. However you can maximize the number to 2, 3 or 4 fingerprint templates into 1 Mifare card. Select the value to update to terminal. |
Clear Offline Door Event Logs
Our compatible terminals store door event logs (door open/close, door force open) into its memory, and you can download to view it in the software. However you can ignore these records by enabling this function. |
Wiegand output
If you are using terminals with a 3rd party controller, select this option to set the terminal to signal an output User ID or Card ID as Weigand output. |
Do not save TZ log (updated 07-12-11)
To turn the terminal record on & off for the Time Zone access deny log. |
Do not save AP log (updated 07-12-11)
To turn the terminal record on & off for the Anti Passback log. |
i-Kadex (updated 07-12-11)
Set the suitable terminal setting to accept i-Kadex signal. |
IP Address (updated 07-12-11)
To change IP Address of the terminal through Local Area Network. |
Adaptec Plus (updated 07-12-11)
To Enable & Disable Signal to connect with Adaptec Plus. |
