Users

Introduction

FingerTec devices recognize users by face recognition, fingerprint, card access or a set of pin numbers. The Date, Time Data and User ID will be stored in its internal storage upon verification and will be used to generate reports in accordance with the user’s attendance.

Privileges can be assigned accordingly based on individual permissions. Likewise, a System Administrator can have his rights restricted or be given full control. Access controls such as the ability to modify settings within the menu will be barred when a System Administrator has been assigned to a device. The role of an administrator plays a crucial role in the vitality of the data in these devices.

For example, Network Administrator(s) can be allowed to configure communication settings but not to enroll new users.

Three levels of authority govern each device:

• Super Administrator

The top of the hierarchy, Super Administrators have, full access to all functions.

• Administrator

The rights of an Administrator are limited by the permissions granted by the Super Ad-

ministrator. For example, a Network Administrator can be allowed to configure communication settings but are not allowed to enroll users.

• User

Normal users have no access to any functions within the device.

By default, every user enrolled is a normal user. Super Admin and Administrator roles are allocated from the list of normal users, either directly from the terminal or assigned via our software.

Methods of Enrollment

Fingerprint Enrollment

Please assign an enrollee as a Super Admin before you proceed to enroll any other credentials, as the menu options are only available to a Super Administrator.

It is recommended that all users enroll two fingerprints for each user ID. The first fingerprint will serve as a template for primary access where the other fingerprint will be used as a backup in the rare event that your first fingerprint is unreadable.

Prior to enrolling your fingerprint, please choose the fingers that will be used to enroll into the device. We recommend using both index fingers as opposed to your thumbs as their size may differ between individuals, which may not fit wholly on the scanner.

Communications

Communication Methods

FingerTec devices offer several types of communication mediums for data transfer that allows you to share employee credentials across all devices within the network without reenrolling users. Employee attendances are downloaded onto our software for easy viewing, analysis and reporting.

We recommend that you delete the attendance records after upon completion of the download process. The deletion process can be done manually at the device or commands via the software’s interface.

This chapter will provide instructions to guide you in setting up the correct parameters to establish connection between your devices and the software. The available communication methods are listed below:

• TCP/IP

• WiFi (Wireless)*

• GPRS or 3G*

• Webster

• RS 232/RS 485

• USB drive

*This communication method is only available upon request

Configuring your Device ID should be your first step before continuing with the above communication methods. It is crucial that each terminal’s unique ID is identified at set apart. By default, all our Device IDs are set to “1”, therefore you must change the Device ID manually if multiple devices are installed.

To change the Terminal ID:

Step 1: Menu > COMM. Settings > PC Connection > Device ID > OK

Step 1: Insert new ID by pressing the keypad > OK to Save > ESC to Exit

Conf.igure TCP/IP connection

Internet Protocol (IP) is a unique numeric designation of each device within a network. Without an assigned IP Address, it would make identifying a specific terminal difficult. The default IP address of each terminal is 192.168.1.201. Connect your terminal via a RJ45 (LAN cable) to connect to your local area network.

To change the IP address:

For example, if the IN time is 9:00am and the time interval is 15 minutes, any verification done by the same ID within the 15 minutes will be considered as a same record, taking the first time he/she clocks in. The maximum number of minutes that can be entered is 60.

Press key button to insert the minute value.

Camera Mode

These are only available on models which has a camera such as the Face ID Series and I-Kiosk 100 Plus. The device(s) captures real time photo while the employee is being verified at the device. Photos can be stored in the device to be downloaded into the software for checking purposes at a later time. There is a total of 5 options for photo capturing and storing:

• No Photo: Device does not capture any photo during verification process.

• Take Photo, No Save: Device captures and displays the photo on screen. The photo is

not stored on the device.

• Take Photo and Save: Device captures and displays photo on screen. The device stores

all photos captured.

• Save on successful verification: Device captures and displays photo on screen. However

device only save photos of successful verifications.

• Saved on failed verification: Device captures and displays photo on screen. However

device only save photos of failed verifications.

Display User photo

You can set the device to display a photo of the employee after a successful verification. A success verified indicator will appear on the screen after his/her ID and name has been verified. You can transfer photos from the software to the device.

This should really be enabled if you would like the device to display the employees’ photo on screen.

Alphanumeric User ID

You can set employee IDs with alphanumeric for example, ENG1003 represents staff ID 1003 from the Engineering Department. This alphanumeric ID recommended for large organizations with multiple departments.The person in charge will know which department the employees belong to by referring to their ID. Only enable this if your company intends to separate employees from different departments.

Attendance Log Alert

You can set the device to prompt an alert message on screen every time it verifies an employee when its storage is approaching the limit. The value range is from 1 to 99 (transaction counts). The device will always delete earlier records to free up space to save the latest record (FIFO, first in first out), if storage is full. By default, the value is 99. Change it if you want to apply another value.

Cyclic Delete ATT Data

You can set the device to delete a number of records when its storage is full. The value range is from 1 to 999 records. For example, you can set the value at 500 records and the device will delete the first 500 records to free up data to store new records.

Cyclic Delete ATT Photo

You can set the device to delete a number of stored photos when its storage is full. The value range is from 1 to 99. For example, you can set the value to 50 and the device will delete the first 50 photos to free up slots to store new images.

Conrm Screen Delay(s)

You can set the time delay for the device to display verification results (ID, name and photo). The time range is from 1s to 9s.

Save Illegal Verication Record

You can set a time range to allow employees to verify for access, for example from 9:00 am to 6:00pm. Employees will be able to verify at the device before and after this time range, but no access will be granted. However the device will record the employees ID and attempted time of access. You can set the device to ignore these records to save storage.

Expiration Rule

You can set limits for the device to verify an employee, either by number (for example 100 times) or specific date(s) (for example 1st of June). Employees exceeding the limit can no longer verify at the device or gain access. You can set the device to take any of action below when the limit has been reached:

• Keep User, No Audit Future Punch: Device keeps employee data but will not save any

attendance records.

• Keep User, And Audit Future Punch: Device keeps employee data and attendance

records.

• Delete User: Device removes all employee data

Fingerprint Options

Threshold is the level security during a fingerprint verification process. Threshold determines how many percent of minutiae points on a fingerprint template will be read by the system.

The higher the threshold level means the device will require additional minutiae points to verify an employee. Thus increasing its security. There are 2 sets of Threshold settings for different verification process:

• 1:1 Matching Threshold Value: 1:1 match is where one verification method is matched

to only one template. Employee presses keypad to insert his/her ID followed by OK button and fingerprint verification

• 1:N Matching Threshold Value: 1:N (many) match is where the verification is compared

against N templates. Employee presses finger on the scanner to verify.

• High Security: If high security is intended, the threshold value must be set to high. Do

take note that if the threshold value is set to high, users may be inconvenienced due to the requirement may of multiple verifications of the fingerprint. For example: If security level is set to high, the chances of identifying the wrong person will be very low. However, you need to verify for a few times before your credentials are verified.

• Normal: This is the default setting where both the security and convenience level are

in balance.

• Low Security: If high convenience is intended, the threshold value must be set to low.

Do take note that if convenience level is high, the security level will be low, thus the chances of inaccurate identification will be high.

Below is the table for ease of setting.

Types 1:N 1:1

High Security 45 25

Normal 35 15

Low Security 25 10

• FP Sensor Sensitivity: You can set the sensitivity of the fingerprint prism to respond to the

employee when he/she places finger on it. The default value is set at Medium. However, when the environment is dry, it is recommended to set the sensitivity to high and set to low if the environment is humid.

• 1:1 Retry Times: You can set the maximum number of attempts for 1:1 fingerprint veri-

fication or password verification. The device will trigger an alarm system when the limit has been reached.

• Fingerprint Algorithm: You may choose to use either VX9.0 or VX10 for fingerprint algo-

rithm.

Note: Both algorithms are not compatible with each other.

• Fingerprint Image: You can select to display or not to display the fingerprint image dur-

ing verification or enrolment.

Reset Options

In an event you want to restore the terminal back to the factory settings, you can do so by going to Menu > Systems > Reset > Press OK to enter. A confirmation window will prompt you before the terminal is reset. Ensure that you are certain of performing the task before proceeding to avoid irreversible data loss.
