Introduction

Please note that 3G and GPRS devices cannot be added directly into the software. It requires a medium to connect these devices into the software.

Benefit

FingerTec Webster is the best choice as the medium because it retrieves the data automatically once a device is connected to it.

Process

Download the Webster SDK link:

http://www.fingertec.com/developerprogram/webster_download.php

FingerTec Webster is installed in the localhost. To run Webster, you may use the default username and password as admin for both required fields. To connect the device with the FingerTec Webster, please make sure that in the device settings, webserver IP address is already set. To retrieve the webserver IP address, run “ipconfig” command on cmd.

To know whether the device has already been connected, check at the device main interface and look for the letter “I” inside the box. Another way is to check the device’s activity inside the Webster’s Terminal List. Insert Serial Number/Device Name/Device’s IP Address to search for the device. It will show the last activity of the device.

Once the device is connected, this Webster can read all the information inside the device such as Enrolled User and Transaction Data.

Since all the raw data is here, migration process can be done into the software where the data will be processed to become useful data. This feature is available inside the Migration Wizard > FingerTec Webster.

The Migration wizard interface require you to log in. Insert the Webster Database Server as set in the device. The details depend on whether Webster application and TCMS V3/ Ingress software was installed on the same PC or in the same network range.

For local PC, use below details: Webster database server : localhost Username : webster Password : webster

You may refer image below on where to configure this setting :


Then for downloading Webster database into TCMS V3/ Ingress, where TCMS V3 is installed in another PC (Same network range) :
The username and password by default is a root for both. Username : root Password : root For Webster database server IP, this refers to the main PC IP address. (Run CMD > type "ipconfig") Then for login username and password, this is refer to MYSQL login password installed in main PC.

From here, you can select all the devices and users along with the transactions in the device. All you need to do is to select the required data and import it into the software.

After importing data, the device will be successfully connected into the software. Now, you can manage all attendance, you can generate report and complete the payroll settings using the software.

Example 1

If you enable Daily Totals, you will instead get the below results:

Step 1

Create the clocking schedule. E.g.: IN - 0800 / OUT - 1700

Step 2

Create the group duty roster and set Overtime Only After to 45.00 hours

per weekly and select the Daily Totals option.

Example 2

If you enable Auto Calculate OT, you will instead get the below results:

Example 3

Customized for our clients in USA, Ingress & TCMS V3 also have the 7th Day OT option. This is because of a ruling by the Californian State Government, whereby an employee is entitled to overtime whenever the employee has worked more (a) than 8 hours in a day, or (b) 40 hours in a week, or (c) when the employee has worked for 7 consecutive days (in which the whole of the 7th day is considered as overtime).

In this case, the user needs to set up overtime after 8 hours in a flexi schedule, and in the roster, overtime after 40 hours per week and 7th Day OT. Thus, the overtime will be calculated if the user works more than 40 hours in a week or has worked 7 consecutive days (even if less than 40 hours total).

Step 1

Create the flexi schedule.

  

Step 2

Configure Overtime if total flexi-work hour exceeds workhour of to 8.00.

Step 3

After enabling 7th Day OT with Auto Calculate OT, you will get the below results:

By having this options, it provides flexibility to the organization to manage the employee's attendance as every organization has different lunch configuration. This is because some companies offer a paid-lunch system where the company will pay for the remaining lunch time of each worker.  There are five lunch time scenarios in Ingress & TCMS V3 that can be configured to suit the user’s preference.
