UPLOAD USER PHOTOS INTO FINGERTEC DEVICES USING THIS SIMPLE TOOL!


Introduction

The latest version of TA100C and AC100C devices are equipped with the new Core Board version known as FMM 100, replacing the FEM510. The new coreboard is loaded with 800MHz microprocessor, 128MB RAM and 256MB flash memory.

With the new coreboard, you can experience the newly designed menu icons and faster data processing.

However, due to the fact that FEM510 and FMM100 models are running on different platforms, uploading user photos into FMM100 model devices cannot be done directly from our bundled software.


Benefits

Having a photo identification during fingerprint verification will further validate that the machine is capturing the correct user.

This tool will allow administrators to upload multiple user photos at the same time, without requiring any use of software.


Process

To upload user photos into FMM100 devices, please follow the steps below:


Step 1:

Make sure the device is connected to a PC. You can test the connection by pinging the device’s IP address, and connect it to Device Info tool (Refer : http://www.fingertectips.com/2014/01/how-to-use-fingertec-device-info-tool.html)

 
Step 2:

Download the “FT User Photo” tool from this link here.


Step 3:

Prepare the user photo appropriately according to the specs.
-          The resolution of the photo must be 320x210px , and the size must not be more than  
 30KB.
-          File type must be in JPEG format (.jpg)
-          Rename the user photos the same as the user IDs (for example user ID is 900, the photo  must be renamed as 900.jpg)
 

Step 4:

FingerTec’s TA100C and AC100C (FMM100) Devices Come With Data Backup Feature

With the new FMM100 core board comes a few useful new features in TA100C and AC100C. One of the features in FMM100 core board is to allow users to backup the device’s data and configuration in the device itself. This backed up data can be restored in the future or it can be copied to another device of the same model whenever needed.

          

This new feature eliminates the worry of data lost or corrupted after being transferred to the software. Take advantage of this feature to better use of the system.

There are two types of backup available in these models.

1.      Internal backup allows you to create backup to be saved inside the terminal itself.

2.      USB backup allows you to create backup and save it inside the USB to be downloaded on another location without deleting the data inside the terminal.

To back up data internally, follow these steps:

Menu > Data Management > Backup Data > Backup to Device > Start Backup

To restore the internal backup data, follow these steps:

Menu > Data Management > Restore Data > Restore from Device > Start Restore

To back up data into a USB flash disk, follow these steps:

Menu > Data Management > Backup Data > Backup to USB Disk > Start Backup

To restore the backup file from a USB flash disk, follow these steps:

Menu > Data Management > Restore Data > Restore from USB Disk > Start Restore

** NOTE: If you backed up the data into a USB flash disk, it is recommended that you restore the data immediately to determine the usability of the data. If the restoration fails, you need to repeat the backup process.
