Major Components
FingerTec Remote Identification System (FRIS) consists of:
FRIS Server (Data Server)FingerTec Model /OFIS ScannerComputer installed with FingerTec TCMS V2
FRIS SERVER DATA SERVER
FRIS Server refers to a computer with FRIS installed. FRIS Server stores user’s fingerprints
templates and user’s transaction logs and it also serves as a platform for fingerprint verification. A computer with TCMS V2 has access into the FRIS server to pull transaction
logs. All transaction logs, that are pulled into TCMS, will be checked by clocking rules of
the TCMS and can be viewed in Attendance Sheet for analysis.
FINGERTEC MODEL / OFIS SCANNER
FingerTec Models, can link to a FRIS server and support FRIS. The functions of these readers are:
to enroll and register user fingerprint templates;to capture users fingerprints;to transfer fingerprint templates to the FRIS server for verification;to prompt user with the result of verification.
The FingerTec OFIS scanner is a UrU4000 fingerprint scanner without any LCD or keypad.
The functions of the OFIS scanner include:
enrolling and registering user fingerprint templates;capturing fingerprints of users;transfering of templates to the FRIS server for verification.
The FingerTec OFIS scanner must be connected to a computer that is linked to the FRIS
server to perform the above operations. The FRIS server will return the result of the verifi-
4
Page 4
cation process to the computer as the FingerTec OFIS scanner cannot prompt users with
the result of verification. The OFIS scanner can only be used as an enrollment station for
the FRIS server.
COMPUTER INSTALLED WITH FINGERTEC TCMS V2
A computer installed with FingerTec TCMS V2 is a must for FRIS to function properly and
the TCMS V2 installed must have accessibility to the FRIS server. TCMS V2 functions to
pull user information such as user ID fingerprint templates as well as the transaction logs
from the FRIS server. The data pulling process is done only one way from FRIS to TCMS
and it is strictly irreversible. This is important to avoid any unauthorized edits in user
transaction logs inside the FRIS server.
Definitions of clocking rules and group scheduling have to be properly set in the TCMS
V2 because these rules will be applied to arrange user attendance data in proper format
for easy viewing.
The TCMS V2 has various reports for time attendance and access control. These reports
can be saved into .PDF, .JPEG, .HTML, .RTF, .XLS and .DOC formats.
TCMS V2 can export attendance data into .TXT, .XLS or ODBC manager for 3rd party soft
ware configuration such as payroll.

TA200 Plus FRIS SERVER R2
This is the simplest implementation structure of FRIS. FingerTec terminals are used for
user fingerprint enrollments only. The templates will be stored inside FRIS server and not
inside the terminals.
The devices are for users to report attendance or to request door accessibility by presenting their fingerprints at the terminals. The fingerprints of users will be captured and sent
to the FRIS server for verification. FRIS server will then perform a fingerprint verification
and will send the result, (either fail or successful), back to terminals.
If a fingerprint was successfully verified, the user ID will be displayed on the reader to inform users that the transaction is accepted and saved into the FRIS server. For FingerTec
terminals that are supporting a door lock system, user will gain access from the successful verification. Transaction data stored inside the FRIS server includes user ID, date and
time, terminal ID, and transaction code.

If the fingerprint fails to be verifed, the FRIS server will return a message to the FingerTec
terminals to alert the user to try again.

Transaction log
PC FRIS SERVER PC
Computers with FingerTec TCMS V2 installed can access into the FRIS server to pull transaction logs of all users. These transaction logs will be arranged according to the clocking
rules, which have been predefined in TCMS V2.
TCMS V2 can produce user reports and the attendance data can be exported into various
formats (.txt, .xls or ODBC manager) for payroll calculation.
The transaction log pulling process is from FRIS to a computer and it is irreversible. This is
to ensure that the transaction data stored in FRIS server is original; therefore the transaction logs pulled into any computer with the TCMS will always be correct and complete.
The FRIS server can support transaction logs of more than one computer with TCMS V2
installed. Another computer with TCMS V2 can access the FRIS server to pull transaction
data, even if the first computer has pulled the data before. FRIS can share its transaction
database with all computers installed with TCMS V2 and have accessibility to FRIS server.
This structure is suitable for an installation site, where there are several people who have
the authority to pull transaction logs and view the attendance data.

For example, as shown in this diagram, FRIS Server 1 is located in a HQ (zone 1) while FRIS
Server 2 is located in a branch or in a remote site (zone 2). FingerTec TCMS in HQ has to pull
transaction logs from FRIS Server 1 to generate reports through the LAN network.
FingerTec TCMS in HQ is able to access FRIS Server 2 in the branch, by Internet or WAN, to
pull the transaction data. FingerTec TCMS in HQ is a central system to collect all user attendance from both HQ and the branch, and to prepare centralized reports for evaluation
or for auditing.

In the diagram above, FRIS Server 2 that is located in a branch or in a remote site is an
independent unit. It stores user fingerprints and transaction logs. TCMS V2 can be installed either in a branch or in a remote site to pull data from FRIS Server 2 for evaluation
or checking.
Multiple copies of the TCMS can be installed in different departments within a branch, for
example administration department and human resource department. This would allow
head of these departments to access into FRIS Server 2 (server in branches) to view user’s
attendance and movements in the branch.
OFIS SCANNER WITH FRIS SERVERS
FRIS Server supports OFIS scanner for time attendance system. The OFIS scanner can be
plugged into any computer that has a LAN connection connected to FRIS Server, to capture fingerprint templates which is then sent to the FRIS server for verification. The results

A time zone consists of a Start time and an End time. If the user’s clocking time falls in
between the Start time and End time, FRIS considers this is as a “valid time period”.
Example, time zone 1 = 08:00 – 20:00, any time that fall between 8:00am and 8:00pm
is consider as a valid time period. Other than that, it is considered as an“invalid time
period”
Funct ions Time range
Free access 00:00 to 23:59
Forbidden 23:59 to 00:00
If you would like to allow all day access to your
users, you must use a free access time zone,
which is 00:00 to 23:59.
If you would like to block a user from accessing all days, you must use the forbidden
time zone, which is 23:59 to 00:00.
FRIS, offers a total of 50 time zones. The default time zone is 00:00 to 23:59
After configuring time zones, a time zone group is required. A time zone group can support up to 3 time zones. This is applicable if users have multiple time zones.
Funct ions Time range
1 08:00 to 12:00 (8:00am
to 12:00pm)
2 to 5:00pm)
3 18:00 to 20:00 (6:00pm
to 8:00pm)
14:00 to 17:00 (2:00pm
For example, a cleaner can enter a premise to
do cleaning during office hours, but she is not
allowed to enter before or after working hours
and lunch break. Therefore there are 3 time
zones assigned,
Therefore time zone group = (Time zone 1,
Time zone 2, Time zone 3)
FRIS, offers a total of 5 time zones groups. Each new enrolled user is added into Default
Time Zone 1 by default, Time Zone Group 1 = free access time zone, time zone 1.
In short, if you would like to use time zones, you need to perform the following
Configure time zone
Assign time zone into time zone group
Assign users into time zone group.
If time zone group is valid,

8 • FRIS 2 SERVER AS DATA STORAGE SERVER
(NO ONLINE VERIFICATION)
To Use FRIS 2 with Normal Fingertec Terminals
These FingerTec terminals stores all user data in the FingerTec terminals. User data
are transfered to all connected FingerTec terminals such as fingerprint, password, time
zones etc. In this design, FRIS II acts as a control station to interact with all connected
FingerTec terminals for user data modification transferring. Kindly take note, FRIS II will
not conduct any online verification with connected FingerTec terminals. All verification process are done locally in the FingerTec terminal itself.
Transaction logs are stored in the FingerTec terminals. FRIS II can be used to download
transaction logs from connected FingerTec terminals, and store them in the MySQL
database. Administrators are able to view the downloaded transaction logs in FRIS II.
FRIS II does not integrate with any clocking rules, and therefore it cannot generate any
attendance for users. Administrators only can view raw clocking data of users in FRIS II.
Administrators will need to use the TCMS V2 if the administrator would like to generate
attendance data and reports for users.
Administrators can choose to use other time attendance software to generate attendance data and reports. The FRIS II stores transaction logs in a MySQL database, to ease
software developers access into the database to gather the required clocking data. In
this design, FRIS II stores transaction logs in a MySQL database, and is ready to be used
by any other software for further processing.
ONLINE FINGERPRINT ENROLLMENT AND VERIFICATION
This operation is only available when FRIS II works with FingerTec terminals with a FRIS
function. All fingerprints captured in readers are forwarded to the server for enrollment and verification. Normal readers without FRIS function cannot support this.
46
DOWNLOAD, VIEW AND EDIT TRANSACTION LOGS
When FRIS II works with FingerTec terminals with a FRIS function, all transaction logs
are stored inside the server once the verification process is done. Administrator can
view and edit transaction logs in the page Transaction from main menu.
While the FRIS II can work with normal FingerTec terminals without FRIS function administrators must download transaction logs stored in readers from the page Terminal
Data > Terminal Transaction. Storage inside readers are cleared after the download
process. The administrator can view and edit the transaction logs in the page Transaction in main menu.
GROUP TIME ZONE AND TIME ZONE
When the FRIS II works with FingerTec terminals with a FRIS function, all group time
zones and time zones are defined locally in the server. Administrators are not required
to upload the settings to the terminals.
Page 46
For FRIS II with normal FingerTec terminals, group time zones and time zones are defined
locally in a server, and uploaded to the readers to take effect.
Start to Use FRIS 2
FRIS II can act as a data management center for normal FingerTec terminals. FRIS can be
used to,
Store user data (user names, fingerprints, passwords, RFID cards etc)Transfer user data between all connected FingerTec terminalsConfigure time zones to control user accessibilities to all connected FingerTec termi-
nals.
Download transaction logs from all connected FingerTec terminals for viewing purpos-
es.
Now FRIS II is storing all user data and transaction logs in a MySQL server as a centralization database. Administrators can access the MySQL server to gather the required data
for any further software processing.
