BASICS
•
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.

The Webserver will always look for the nearest detectable terminal and connect to any Fingertec terminals available during start-up. The information retrieved from the terminals will
be displayed on the Webserver homepage i.e. serial number, IP address, device name, total

is fully automatic.

few levels of privilege in our Fingertec Terminals, which are normal, registrar, administrator
and supervisor (do check the different privileges in the hardware user manual).
