Introduction to webserver
Fingertec Webserver is a basic web version of our TCMS V2 software. We highly recommend that you install the webserver into a PC that can double as a server. The designated
PC will need to have a fixed IP address in order to transform into a workstation that links
together the Fingertec terminals via GPRS or Internet. No IP address is required on any of
the terminals as the terminals will search for any GPRS or Internet signal available to establish the connection.
Webserver installation is hassle-free as it contains only one single installation file, which are
packed with all the necessary components for the software to work.
The information downloaded from the terminal will be stored in MySQL database. In order
to retrieve information for time attendance calculation or reporting, you will need to link
the TCMS V2 software to MySQL database. You can also fully utilize the information in the
MySQL database by using your own software or application.

INSTALLATION/UNINSTALLATION
•
OF COMPONENTS
Uninstalling the internet information service (iis)
The Webserver Installer has its own built in Internet Installation Service (IIS). Thus, if you do
not have any web-based program installed in the computer, it is recommended that you
uninstall the IIS from your computer.
Note
If you have a web-based program running, you can leave the IIS ON but do ensure that the web-based
program does not use the port 8080 which is recommended for the Webserver Port.
To uninstall the IIS, follow the steps below.
Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > Select Turn Windows features on or off
Ensure that all the IIS
component is turned
off (checked box is
empty).
