2. Short description of the FP530-PC Software

The enclosed FP530-PC software provides many additional functions and facilitates the management of programmed users

(ngerprints). Additionally, ngerprint les of the users can be copied from the sensor to the hard disc and archived. Thus, synchronisation

or distribution of the programmed ngerprints onto several FP530 units is possible.

Other functions:

• Programming or deleting individual ngerprints

• Assignment of names

• Assignment of the relays to the users

• Setting the relay switching time

• Direct switching function for the relays

• Recording of log les about access attempts

• Saving ngerprints as image les

• PIN query as access protection, can be activated

3. Explanation of Symbols

This symbol points out particular dangers associated with handling, function or operation.

The “arrow” symbol indicates special advice and operating information.

4. Installation and Preparation

Before the ngerprint access system is connected to the PC, the software, including the driver, has to be installed and the hardware prepared rst.

4.1 Software and Driver Installation

After inserting the enclosed CD into the corresponding drive of your computer, the installation will start automatically. If autostart is deactivated on your PC, start the installation by double-clicking the programme “Setup.exe” in the main directory of your CD.

When a safety prompt appears, conrm it by clicking “YES”. The desired installation language can be selected now.

The user must be logged in as administrator in Windows to perform this installation.

Step 1: Selection of the language

(German, English, French, Dutch)

Step 2: Conrmation of the installa-

tion process via the button "Continue"

Step 3: Display of important information

for installation

Step 4:

Conrmation of the directory to install

the software in the suggested folder or to manually select any other storage location by clicking "Browser..." and then "Install".

The installation programme sets up a programme group "Sygonix FP530" in "PROGRAMMES" and a link to the desktop.

Step 5:

Conrm the installation of the required Silabs VCP driver with "Yes" if it is not present

yet. It must be installed under all circumstances. Then proceed according to the instructions of the installation programme.

Step 6: Installation of the FP530 software is com-

pleted. The device can now be connected to the PC (observe chapter "4.2 Preparation of the hardware"), switched on and the programme can be started via the entry in the quick start bar or the icon on the desktop.

Inspection of the driver installation

To permit communication between the ngerprint module and the installed software, the two COM ports used by the ngerprint module must be in the

range COM1 to COM8. Therefore, reviewing the assigned COM ports in the windows device man-

ager is recommended. If they are not in the range between COM1 and COM8, the ngerprint mod-

ule will not be recognised by the software! Changing of the COM port is described in chapter “11. Frequently Asked

Questions (FAQ)”.

4.2 Preparation of the Hardware

To permit proper communication between the ngerprint module and PC software, no jumpers must be pushed onto the pin

strips “JP1” and “JP2”.

The ngerprint sensor must be connected to the evaluation unit via the enclosed cable at the connection “SENSOR UNIT” (see gure below).

The ngerprint module is now connected to a free USB port of the computer via the mini USB socket on the evaluation unit

and a matching USB cable. Then the operating voltage (12 V/DC or 8 V/AC) can be activated at the terminal clamps “POWER”. The polarity is irrelevant for

this.

Windows recognises the new hardware when it is connected for the rst time and completes the installation of the required

drivers.

5. Getting Started

• Start the PC software via the Desktop icon or via “START / PROGRAMMES / Sygonix FP530”. The user must be logged in as administrator.

• The PC software starts setting up the connection to the ngerprint module. This may take up to 30 seconds (observe

progress bar).

• After successfully starting the software and establishing the connection to the device, the ashing “status” display LED on the evaluation unit of the ngerprint system signals proper function of the interface with the software. “LED1” and “LED2” will remain lit at the ngerprint sensor.
