Short description of the FP260 PC application

In addition to the standalone mode of the FP260 module, this software provides a
range of additional functions for easier administration of the users imported. It also
allows recording a log file and saving fingerprints as image files. The door can
furthermore be conveniently opened from the computer at the click of the mouse.

Overview of the control panel

The following illustration shows the control panel of the FP260 PC software if several
persons with access authorisation have already been imported

1: List of persons with access authorisation who have been imported (enrolled).

2: Control panel for fingerprints administration, finger identification, fingerprint

scanning, manual relay switching and relay operation can be activated here.

3: Display of the fingerprint recorded last.

4: Status display of the command displayed last.

Installation of the FP260 PC application

To install the FP260 WINDOWS software, insert the SETUP CD into the CD drive
and close it. If the installation does not start automatically, the SETUP.EXE file on the
CD must be run. Follow the instructions of the software.

The software suggests the FP260 directory for installation and copies the necessary
files to the directory selected and into WINDOW's SYSTEM directory. The installation
program allows creates a FP260 program group under PROGRAMS.

Before starting the software, you must prepare the FP260 hardware as
specified in Section "Getting starting".

Getting started

First the PC mode must be set by setting the two "JP1" and "JP5" jumpers on the
FP260 control module. The fingerprint module has a serial (RS232) interface (9-pin
SUB-D socket on the control module) to create a connection to the PC. Nothing has
to be switched or bridged on the "JP2, JP3 and JP4" jumpers (production
connections).
Now connect the FP260 control module (evaluation unit) using the 9-pin RS232 cable
(pin assignment 1:1, plug – socket, e.g. Conrad Item no.: 981281 - 62) with a free
COM connection on your PC. The COM port must be in the range between COM1
and COM8. (see Device Manager/Connections (COM and LPT))
The module must be supplied with power in accordance with the hardware
instructions.
The FP260 fingerprint access system is now ready for PC mode.
If it should be reverted to standalone mode, JP1 and JP5 have to be disconnected
again.

Now start the application under "START/PROGRAMS/FP260" by double clicking on
the FP260 icon.
You are then requested to select the desired language on the first start of the
program.
To select the language, you must click on the respective flag.

The program then connects to the fingerprint module. This can take up to 20
seconds.

After a successful start, the flashing LED3 on the FP260 control module shows the
correct function of the interface to the application software. LED1 and LED2 on the
sensor are permanently alight.

Subsequently, the following program window is displayed, if the FP260 system is still
in delivery condition, i.e. no users have been imported yet.

Now a master fingerprint must be created first (first user with special authorisation in
standalone mode, see Special characteristics of the "master")
This is performed by clicking "Add master".
Now you are asked to enter the name for the master.

After entering the name (in this example "FP260 MASTER“), confirm it by pressing
the "OK" button at the top right.
