Fingertec
H2i and m-Kadex terminal does not come with a LCD screen thus some settings
needs to be set with caution. After the registration of the administration card
is done, enrollment, deletion or resetting on the terminals cannot be performed
by anyone without the administration card.
In any case whereby the employee has misplaced their admin card, you can reset
the admin directly from the hardware as well as via our software.
Do take note that for H2i terminal,
User ID 1 is reserved for Administrator.
You can
refer to the respective terminals’ manual below for steps on how you can reset
the terminal to factory settings without the administrator card.
However, do take note that once your device has been
reset to default factory settings, all contents of the terminal will be deleted
including the administrator card, user information and transaction logs. All
settings will return to the default settings. The IP address will return to 192.168.1.201,
and terminal ID will return to 1 after the process.
Proceed
by re-enrolling the administrator.
To Reset via TCMSv2
1) Add the
terminal to TCMSv2 and enable the device. Once it is enabled, proceed to click
at the Advanced Settings of the Terminal.
2) In
Advanced Settings, click Get Settings to download the terminals’ information.
3) Change
the new admin card number at the ‘Admin Card Number’ column.
4) Once it
is done, click on Set Settings and the new card will be reflected in the
terminal. Now you can proceed to set the terminal settings using the new Admin
Card.
To Reset via Ingress
1)
Add the
terminal to Ingress and enable the device. Once it is enabled, click once on
the device name > Select the Access Control Tab and Click Edit.
2)
At the
Advance Options column, enter the new Adminstrator Card Num > Click Save.
3)
Go to the
Door Tab > Create a door and add the device to the door.
Note:
Failure to do this will cause an inability to sync the changed settings to the
terminal.
4)
Once it
is done, Sync the changes to the terminal and the new card ID will be reflected
in the terminal. Now you can proceed to set the terminal settings using the new
Admin Card.

Ingress software consist of 3 major components: Ingress server, Ingress client and MySQL
database. The Ingress server serves as the intermediary between FingerTec
devices, Ingress client and MySQL database. It handles the connection and
command read/write operations between Ingress client and devices. Apart from
that, it also manages the data/record-reading and writing between Ingress
client and MySQL database. Thus, this is the main command centre of the entire
system. Therefore, you may be questioning what are the pre-requisites that you
will need to fulfil in order to achieve the ideal system that will perform these
functions perfectly. Should you choose a multi- task workstation or dedicated
server?
In the situation that you are installing the system to
handle a small scale of access control system, a multi-task workstation will
suit you the most. For example, a company that has less than 500 users will
benefit from this installation. The access control records will be stored in the
devices all the time and you will only download it once daily. This will not
generate excessive workload to your workstation. In addition to that, you can
use the online monitoring feature of Ingress to know who is coming in or
leaving at every entrance. Integration with other workstations or servers such
as payroll and network video surveillance software is also possible. We would suggest
for the workstation to be equipped with at least with an i5 QuadCore processor,
8GB RAM with Windows 7-64-bits OS.
For installation which supports a large scale of
access control system, we would suggest to use a dedicated server to handle the
system. For example, a company with more than 1000 employees would benefit the
most from a server-based access control system. The high number of employees
generates a high volume of access control records. You will need a dedicated
server to handle the database effectively. There will be many administrators,
each with different levels access to the system, to process and manipulate the
data and reports.
There will be multi-connections available for users to
access the server anytime during the operation, and this can be also be handled
by the server. At this level,
integration with other database, software (payroll, network video surveillance,
human resource system etc) will be easy. A dedicated server provides better
protection to the software and database than a normal multi-task workstation would.
We would suggest for the server to be equipped with at least with a Xenon
QuadCore processor, 8GB with Windows 2008 64-bits OS.
Due to the wear
and tear of terminal parts, some of the terminals will automatically turn ON
and OFF on its own at times without any command given.
Below are the
steps that you can take to rectify this issue on your own.
·
Sleep and Automatic OFF Settings (For AC900
only)
If these settings are configured, the terminal will
automatically turn off or go into sleep mode.
To disable this setting, go to Menu > Option >
Power Management > Change the Idle Minute to ‘0’.
·
Webserver IP Setting
When this setting is used, the reader will attempt to
connect to the Webserver IP and restart after it fails to find the IP which has
been set.
To disable this setting, go to Menu > Option >
Comm Option > Change the Webserver IP to 0.0.0.0
When both of
these settings has been turned off, the reader will not automatically turn ON
and OFF on its own anymore.
Ingressus IV is FingerTec’s latest advance access
controller which supports access control up to 4-doors. In short, Ingressus IV
can be described as a 4-In door controller. A total of 4 Wiegand input ports is
available in Ingressus IV.
It links up with 4 units of 26-bits Wiegand readers (iKadex or kKadex) to
capture card ID or password details as access credentials. The role of each Wiegand
reader is to control their designated door to limit the “in” access. Thus,
there must be a push release button (some called it REX, request exit button)
installed inside to unlock the door and exit the zone that it was assigned under.
Through the implementation of this system, users will only
need to verify their credentials once when coming into a zone and they are free
to leave from a different zone so long as an anti-passback isn’t in place.
Hence, we called it the 4-In doors controller. The reason why it is labelled as
such is because of the connection between the In and Out devices:

kKadex/iKadex

However, do note that advance access control features
such as anti-passback, interlocking, multi users unlock and unlock combination
will still take effect in Ingressus IV.
In order to unleash the full power of Ingressus and
control In-Out access at all 4 doors, you can link up with 8-units of RS 485
reader (R2c). Each door will be secured by 2 units of R2c and this will limit
all the in-out activities.
The slave fingerprint scanner is capable of capturing
fingerprints and card details as access credentials for its master, the
Ingressus, to verify. The R2c communicates with Ingressus via the RS485
network. Each R2c comes with a “dip-switch” to identify its ID number, ranging
from 1 to 8. The connection between each ID and door are as below:
The ID of R2c for In
|
The ID of R2c for Out
|

In the case of budget or special requirements, you may
mix and match the slave devices with R2c, kKadex, iKadex and push release
button to secure the doors. For example:
In device
|
Out device
|
Apply to
|
kKadex/iKadex
|
Push release button
|

|
R2c (ID 3)
|
R2c (ID 4)

|
kKadex/iKadex
|
Push release button
|

|
R2c (ID 7)
|
R2c (ID 8)

Kindly ensure that you set the correct “dip-switch” at
R2c so that Ingressus can identify its position.
Fingertec Database
Processor (FTDP) is designed as such that it ease the managing of users,
fingerprints, logs and readers information for users in order to connect
Fingertec terminals to a third party system.
This software is
suitable for users who are looking for report printing abilities and basic data
transmission with terminals without needing to configure the time attendance
settings.
Installation for FTDP is easy and straightforward, however there are
times where Windows XP users will encounter the error as per below.
To overcome this error message, window
XP users will need to install the East Asian language files on your computer.
Go to Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options.
On the Languages Tab, select the
‘Install files for East Asian Languages’ check box. Click
OK.
You will be prompted to insert the Windows CD-ROM or redirect it to a network
where the files are located, thus it is recommended to have the CD ready
beforehand.
You are required to restart your
computer before the setting takes effect.
Once you have install these files, you can proceed to re-install the FTDP
software.
