Chapter 2

Management of Device and Door

This chapter guides you on how to install and manage FingerTec devices into Ingress and assigning them to doors.

Devices

Devices refer to the FingerTec physical terminals installed to guard every door/entrance. There are 3 types of physical terminals:

Ingressus door controller

FingerTec standalone terminal

Keylock series (7700 and 8800)

Ingressus door controller can work with slave terminals. It is the master that will store & transfer data, control door and alarm activities. Ingressus door controller can link up to a maximum of 4 slave terminals (R2c, i-Kadex or k-Kadex). Slave terminals only work as capturing station for fingerprints, cards or password. The captured data is sent to Ingressus for verification before Ingressus can grant access to users. Ingressus can work with AUX input (e.g.: heat and smoke sensor, PIR motion detector) and output (e.g.: alarm siren, strobe light, IP camera).

FingerTec standalone terminals refer to all FingerTec terminals, for example R2, AC900, Q2i, Face ID series. The terminals have individual processors and memory, to verify and store users’ data. Standalone terminals can be paired with slave terminals as an entry-exit system. Slave terminals capture fingerprints, card or password data then sends them to master for verification.

Keylock series refer to FingerTec biometric mechanical door lock. The Keylock series has integrated processor and memory, to verify/store users’ data. However, it does not communicate with Ingress directly as it only has a USB port for data transfer.

Add Device Manually

You must add each device into the list in Ingress before you can manage any of it. Adding devices to Ingress requires the device to connect to Ingress via network (TCP/IP or RS 485). However, standalone terminals and the Keylock series supports USB flash disk for transferring data and settings with Ingress.

Every device has a unique serial number, which is important for activation in Ingress. Contact your local resellers or support@fingertec.com by providing the serial number of the device in case you fail to activate online.

1.Go to Device tab to select Add Device.

2.Select Device Type and Communication Mode then insert the information accordingly.

Device Name: Name the device for easy future reference.

Communication Key: 5-digit numeric secret password to secure the connection between device and Ingress. Ingress must pair this key with device (under Dev ID) before connection establishes.

Auto Synchronize Device Time: Activate this to allow Ingress to always synchronize the device with the server date and time.

Settings for TCP/IP connection:

IP Address/URL: Insert the IP address of the device so Ingress can find it on the network to establish connection.

For devices installed at remote site, you can insert the URL of the remote server into this column. Ingress can link up with the device via Internet.

Port: Default TCP port (4370) of Ingress server to link up with device via network.

Settings for RS485 connection

Serial port: Define the serial port of the server in use to connect to the RS232/485 data converter. Baud rate: Select the baud rate of RS485 network.

Settings for USB flash disk

Serial number: Serial number of device.

Device ID: Make sure you insert the same ID as the one set in the device. Ranges from 1 to 999.

Settings for Keylock

UDisk Path: Define the USB flash disk drive to read the basic info of Keylock

3.Check the box Online next to Device Activation to add the device into Ingress.

If an Internet connection is unavailable, you can activate the device by selecting Offline. Ingress accepts a 12-digits alphanumeric code for offline activation, but this code may onle be retrieved from your local resellers or support@fingertec.com.

4.Click Enable Device to establish connection to the device.

Note: You must plug in a USB flash disk to Keylock 7700/8800 to download a file name “X_udata”, where X is the Device ID of the device used (e.g.: 1_udata). The file contains the serial number of the device and other important information. Ingress can only add the Keylock 7700/8800 device into the list after it captures this file from the USB flash disk.

Add Device by Auto Scan

In case you do not know the specific IP address of the standalone device or Ingress, you can use the Auto Scan function to look for them on the network.

1.Click Scan Device.

2.Select Device Type:

Standalone device: Insert range of IP address.

Ingressus: Ignore IP address because Ingress can discover the IP address of Ingressus automatically. Keylock: Ingress scans your USB drive which contains the “X_udata” file.

3.Click Scan to start.

4.Device is discovered and published on the list.

5.Select the devices to add into Ingress.

6.Continue to activate the device (refer to Chapter 2 • Add Device Monually).

Configuring Device

Download all settings and info from devices when connection is established. You can start to personalize the settings of each device and synchronize new settings and info to devices by uploading them. Due to the different nature of all 3 types of devices, Ingress hides some pages/options when not applicable with a device.

1.Click to select device.

2.Click Download Device Settings.

3.Wait for the download process to finish.

4.Start to configure:

Information: This is the page to display all information of the device. No amendments are allowed. You can know the storage status of the device at the Record section.

Network: You can change types of communication mode in this page, for example change from TCP/IP to RS485. You can update the TCP/IP settings (e.g.: change to new IP address) or RS485 settings (e.g.: change baud rate to 9600bps). All new settings will take effect after you upload the new settings to the device.

Biometric: This page is only effective when connecting to devices that support fingerprint or face recognition. Amend these settings accordingly after you click the Edit button:

Only 1:1 verification: Set to No by default so users can gain access immediately after verifying their finger or face. Change this to Yes if you want users to insert their ID before fingerprint/face verification.

Fingerprint algorithm: VX 10.0 is the latest fingerprint matching algorithm supported by the device. Only change to VX 9.0 if your environment is using the older algorithm. This option is not applicable to Ingressus because it only supports VX 10.0.

Face/Fingerprint 1:1 Threshold: The level of matching security if you want users to insert user ID before fingerprint/face verification. For fingerprint, the range is from 0 to 50, where 50 is the highest. For face, it ranges from 0 to 99 where 99 is the highest. The default values are 15 for fingerprint and 70 for face.

Face/Fingerprint 1:N Threshold: The level of matching security if you allow users to verify by fingerprint/face without inserting user ID. The default values are 45 for fingerprint and 75 for face.

Power: You can configure the duration (in minutes) for device to wait before going into idle mode. Idle time (in minutes): Time duration to wait before going into idle mode.

Idle action: Select either Sleep or Power Off.

Power on time: Check the box and insert time to turn on the device. Power off time: Check the box and insert time to shut down the device.

Access control: You can configure the device for basic access control settings.

Save Transaction log: Set to Yes by default. The device saves IN-OUT records of users. In case you only want the device to control access without referring to its records, select No. The device will not keep any INOUT records.

Save False Log: Set to Yes by default. The device saves records even though users fail to verify. You can assess the level of fail verifications happening at this device and adjust the biometric settings to improve the verification process. Select No and the device will not store this record.

Master Record State: You must define the device as Master or Slave If two standalone devices are installed to control one door. Normally the standalone device controlling entry is set as Master, and at the exit is the Slave. Ignore if you are installing slave device with a standalone device. This is important if you are using Antipassback function. The Master device stores all entry-exit records to justify Antipassback status.

Antipassback: Feature that forces users to verify every time he/she comes in or leaves a zone. In case he/she is tailgating another user without verification to access a zone, the device will block his/her verification to gain access again. You can select any of the following settings to suit your environment.

In: Activate this to force users to verify when leaving a zone. Users can skip verification when coming into the zone.

Out: Activate this to force users to verify when coming into a zone. Users can skip verification when leaving the zone.

In/Out: Activate this to force users to verify both when coming in and leaving a zone.

None & Save: Select this setting so the device does not block users to access when Antipassback take effect. Device will instead only keeps track of Antipassback records with the user ID, where you can download the records into Ingress to view and analyze.

None: Disable Antipassback at the device. Other settings:

Power off Device: To shutdown device remotely. All devices do not have a physical power off button to avoid unauthorized shutdown. You can only shutdown the device by clicking this button.

Clear All Device Data: To clear the storage of device back to initial stage. You cannot retrieve any data after this.

Clear All Log: To delete the transaction logs stored in device. Recommended to do this after you finish downloading logs from device.

Clear Admin Privilege: To clear admin lock in device. Any users can access into the Main Menu by pressing the Menu button. Only do this before you want to assign a new administrator at the device.

Upload Device Settings: To upload all new settings/parameters device to start to take effect.

Operation logs: Device records every operation done by administrators into a log file. This is a hidden file that you cannot view at the device. You must download the operation logs into Ingress to view it.

Press Download OP Log to download from device. Insert the date range to narrow down your search.

Event: Device records abnormal activities (e.g.: door force open, alarm trigger, fail verification, etc.) as events. These records are automatically downloaded into Ingress. You can narrow your search to view by date and time.

5. Click Upload Device Settings to upload new settings to devices.

Disable and Delete Device

Delete or remove the device from list if it is no longer in use, or wrongly added to Ingress. In case you want to suspend a device from Ingress (to stop data transfer with the device), disable it from the list.

To delete a device:

1.Click to select the device from list.

2.Click Delete Device.

3.Click Yes to confirm to delete the device.

To disable a device:

1.Click to select the device from list.

2.Click Disable Device.

3.Click Yes to confirm to suspend the device.

Doors

Adding devices into Ingress is to prepare the list of devices installed in the environment. Now you can start to pair the devices to doors accordingly. You must assign devices to guard every door. Pairing multiple devices to a specific door allows you to update the same access settings (e.g.: door unlocks time) to both entry and exit devices.

For installations with Ingressus II (2-doors door controller), you can pair devices with 2 doors. You can configure different access settings for each door even though they are connected to the same Ingressus II controller.

Types of device	Quantities of devices/slaves	Quantities of door
Standalone devices	2 devices	1
Ingressus I	2 slave terminals	1
Ingressus II	4 slave terminals	2
Keylock	1	1

Ingress can work with video surveillance software. You can connect to Milestone server or EpiCamera to stream video from your IP camera for live view or playback. It is recommended to pair the IP camera with the door/entrance installed with device to monitor users’ movement. In case of abnormal door activities (e.g.: door force open, device dismantled illegally) Ingress will trigger alarms to alert administrators. You can playback the video at that moment to know what is going on at the door, or even export the photo or video easily for further investigation.

Add Standalone Device to Door

1.Click Door at the left panel.

2.Click Add Door.

3.Rename the door, for example Main entrance.

4.Add description to the door for easy reference.

5.Click Add Device.

6.Select Standalone Device.

7.Select the device to be added to this door.

8.Repeat steps (5) to (7) to add 2nd standalone device to this door.

Note: Select Slave Device in the Add Device window if you are connecting a slave device (R2c, i-Kadex or k-Kadex) with the standalone device. Name the slave device according to its model.

Add Ingressus to Door

Ingress automatically creates door(s) after you add Ingressus into the system. System creates 1 door if Ingressus I is added as device, 2 doors if Ingressus II is added. You will find the IP address of Ingressus display at the left panel.

In Ingressus II, you will send 2 lines of the same IP address to indicate 2 doors. Under each door, there is an in and out device (slave devices). Refer to Ingressus installation guide to understand how to define door and IN-OUT slave devices. This is all controlled by the wiring between Ingressus and slave devices.

Right click at the IP address of Ingress to rename, for example Ingressus II – R&D office. Rename the slave device by their models for easy reference.

Add Keylock to Door

Ingress automatically creates a door named Keylock 7700/8800 after you add the device into the system. Ingress adds the device to the door immediately. You can rename the device for easy reference.

Configuring Settings to Doors

You can configure access settings in Ingress and upload to both devices paired with the door. This ensures both standalone devices apply the same access settings during operation. If you are using a standalone device with a slave to guard the door, settings will only be sent to the standalone device.

Ingress treats Ingressus II as 2 different doors even though it is from one device. You can configure access settings for each door individually. Ingressus II can store and apply the settings to doors accordingly.

Ignore this if you are installing with the Keylock series. Due to the lack of communication cable, Ingress cannot upload any settings to Keylock. Thus you do not need to configure anything in Ingress.

1.Click to select a door.

2.Press Edit at the right panel.

3.Change the settings accordingly.

General configuration for standalone device and Ingressus

Setup of Zones

This chapter guides you on setting up zone installations using Ingressus.

This chapter is only applicable for Ingressus. Skip this chapter if you are not installing any Ingressus controllers in your environment. You can set up zone installations with Ingressus to perform more secure access control settings.

There are a total of 5 types of zones, which are:

Antipassback
