2 • USING THE FINGERTEC

FINGERPRINT READER

FingerTec® fingerprint reader provides 3 types of enrollment method:

• Fingerprint Enrollment

User enrolls his fingerprint template into a reader and the template will be used for future verifications.

• Password Enrollment

For user who has difficulty to enroll his fingerprint due to poor fingerprint quality, he is recommended to enroll password. Password enrollment is also suitable for visitors and temporary workers.

• Fingerprint and Password Enrollment

Under this option, a user can enroll both fingerprint and password at the same time. The user can either use fingerprint or password to report attendance or to gain access.

USING THE FINGERPRINT READER

This chapter will guide on how to use the FingerTec® fingerprint reader effectively. To get a good reading every time, a fingerprint enrollment for the first time must be done properly.

• Center points

What you should do

Place finger flat on the fingerprint sensor. Make sure the finger’s midpoint is placed at the center of the fingerprint sensor.

TIPS FOR BEST FINGERPRINT ENROLLMENT

There are 5 tips to get good fingerprint enrollment:

• Use INDEX finger

Index finger is smaller than thumb and it can be comfortably placed on the sensor. The use of thumb is not recommended because the center points might not be placed properly on the sensor, hence cannot be read by the sensor due to its larger size.

• Make sure the finger is not wet, too dry, injured or dirty

The finger needs to be slightly moist to enable the sensor to read the minutiae points on the fingerprint.

• Place the center points of your finger at the center of the sensor

The center points of a finger is an area where there is a swirl and the center points must be properly placed on the sensor during enrollment.

• Don’t press hard at the sensor, just place your finger on the sensor

The sensor is reading minutiae points of your finger and placing a finger properly on the sensor will prompt the sensor to read those points. Pressing your finger hard on the sensor is not necessary.

• Don’t do enrollment under bright light or direct sunlight

It is important to note that bright light or sunlight could interfere with the reading of the sensor. Avoid placing the reader under direct sunlight or bright light to avoid difficulty in enrollment and future verification.

DSen Alarm

This integrated buzzer can alert user when a door is not closing well. Buzzer will alert users for a time period before the reader starts to trigger alarm. Enter a value from 0 to 999, for example 10 represent 10 sec. Reader will trigger siren to ring for 10 sec and goes off. Reader triggers alarm immediately when siren goes off.

Duress Option

This function allows user to trigger the alarm system in case of emergency via reader by using duress fingerprint. User must register a finger as duress finger and a successful verification of the duress fingerprint will trigger the alarm.

Management of Duress Fingerprint

• Enrollment of Duress Finger The procedure to enroll duress finger is the

same as an enrollment of a normal fingerprint.

• Define Duress Finger Duress finger needs to be defined before

it can be used to trigger the alarm system. User can choose to enroll new finger or to use the same fingerprints for clocking activities for duress finger.

• Undefined Duress Finger This function allows user to delete duress

finger. If the fingerprint templates for clocking activities which are also used for duress fingers are deleted from the duress option, those fingerprints are still available for clocking activities and user do not need to reregister his fingerprints.

• Delete all This function is to delete all duress finger-

prints available in the FingerTec® readers.

Help Key

User may choose to enable the Help Key by choosing “Yes”. The Help Key is to be used when the ID of the duress finger is different from the ID of the normal clocking activities. Alarm will be triggered when user press the down key button for 3 seconds followed by a duress fingerprint on the scanner.

Trigger Methods

There are 3 types of trigger method by using duress finger which user can choose from:

• 1:1 Trigger To be used when user always use 1:N for

normal clocking activities.

• 1:N Trigger To be used when user always use 1:1 for

normal clocking activities.

• Password Trigger To be used when user always use both

methods for normal clocking activities. User may choose to select only one trigger method. These trigger methods are to be used if the ID for the duress finger is the same as the ID of the clocking activities.

Duress Delay

User can set the timer to trigger alarm after a successful verification of a duress finger. The timer can be set from 0 to 255 seconds and the alarm will goes off when the time is up.

Access Control

FingerTec® reader can control any digital lock or EM-lock that consumes 12V of power and current of less than 1A.

Setup Lock Function

In Access menu, select “Options” > “Access Options” > “Lock”. The value of lock setting is the time period of a lock opens before it closes again; one unit value is 20ms. The value is between 0-254 where “0” means no lock opening signal is emitted and 254 is equivalent to 5s waiting time before the door closes.

APPENDIX •TROUBLESHOOTING

1 I can’t turn on the FingerTec® Fingerprint Reader. When I

pressed the power button, nothing happened.

• Check if your FingerTec® Fingerprint Reader’s LCD screen is lighted and there is a beep sound when the reader is turned on. If not, make sure the power in turned on at the electrical supply outlet.

• Check the connection of the power adapter to an electrical supply outlet; it may not be fitted properly.

• If you are confirmed that there is no problem with the power supply, your FingerTec® Fingerprint Reader may need to be replaced. Kindly contact your reseller.

2 I can’t connect the FingerTec® Fingerprint Reader to the PC. Every

time I try it, the software prompts “unable to connect” message.

Check the settings on the reader to see if TCP/IP or RS232/RS485 connection

is enabled.

• Check whether the COMM key is used, default is 0.

• For TCP/IP connection, check the IP address.

• For the RS232/RS485, the baudrate for the reader and software must be the same. Make sure that the DevID is correct.

• After changes are made, restart the FingerTec® Fingerprint Reader.

APPENDIX •TROUBLESHOOTING

3 The FingerTec® Fingerprint Reader has difficulty recognizing my

finger. It takes many tries before I am verified.

• Please make sure that your finger is not too oily or too dirty because the oil and dirt will cover the minutia points of the fingerprint, thus make reading difficult.

• Make sure that the reader is not facing direct sunlight because it will disrupt the readings of the scanner. To deal with light interference, cover the scanning area when you want to do finger verification.

4 When the FingerTec® Fingerprint Reader is on, the red LED is blink-

ing. Is there something wrong?

There is nothing wrong with the reader. The red LED blinks to indicate that the

reader is on the standby mode. When a fingerprint is verified, the LED will turn to green.

5 The FingerTec® Fingerprint Reader was accidentally shutdown by a

staff. Will we lose all the transaction data in the reader?

All the transaction data up until the minute the reader was shutdown stays in the

reader and can be downloaded to the PC by using the TCMS V2 software. The data will only disappear if it has been downloaded to the PC.

6 The FingerTec® Fingerprint Reader did not voice “Thank You” or

“Please Try Again”during verification. What should I do?

You may enable the voice function under Advance Option. The voice option might

have been disabled.

7 When I tried to enroll my fingerprint into the FingerTec¤ Finger-

print Reader, the reader produced “Duplicate Finger” voice message. Why is that?

The “Duplicate Finger” voice message will only be produced if the enrolling finger is

found to have existed in the reader. Choose another finger.

8 The FingerTec® Fingerprint Reader produces “The clock is full” every

time I perform verification. What should I do?

This means that the transaction storage of the reader full. Download the data from

the reader to the PC by TCMS V2. After download process has been performed, the data will be deleted automatically.

9 Could I configure the FingerTec® device to shut down or power

on automatically?

The schedule can be configure under the Power Management Option. This is advisable

as to let the device takes a break after a long-hour usage.

10 My previous card access system left me the old cards. Can I use these

cards to work on AC800 Plus MC?

AC800 Plus MC will only read or write MIFARE card. Please make sure that your card

is MIFARE card for it to work on AC800 Plus MC.

11 I lost my USB extension for AC800 Plus/AC800 Plus MC. Can I purchase

a normal USB extension from my local market?

Yes. This USB extention is universal and available everywhere.
