Download & Upload User Data and Download Transaction Data Using USB Flash Disk to Ingress
Introduction
Network
and communication between FingerTec devices and software allows user to work
remotely and enhance efficiency at the same time. A proper and stable network
is surely an advantage for user to transfer employees and transaction logs just
by a simple click. However, we understand that not all places are equipped with
Internet and the terminal might need to operate on a standalone mode. In such situations
the USB flash disk plays an important role to transfer data to/from terminal
to/from the software for processing.
Benefits
By having this features in the hardware and software, the
terminal is able to operate the device on a standalone mode without extra
wiring to get data back to the software. This feature will also benefit the
place that does not have Internet connection.

2. Is configuration of the terminal ID in software exactly the same as the device number? To check the device number, follow this instruction: Press Menu > Option > Comm. Option > Dev. Number.
3. Have the device connection in the software (Comm Mode) been set to USB connection? If not, please do so.
4. Please make sure the USB file downloaded from the device is in an encrypted file format [ you can open the file by using notepad to check ]. This is applicable for certain devices such as TA100C where the encryption for USB download option can be turned on or off.
