DEVICE MANAGEMENT
Before initiating the process of downloading or uploading data using the software, it is imperative to confirm the establishment of communication between the device and the PC. Begin by connecting the device to the system, inputting the relevant parameters. Once a successful connection has been established, you may proceed with the data uploading or downloading tasks.
Connect
The device integrated into the system will be visible in the "Machine list". To select a specific device, single-click on it, and thereafter, press the "Connect" button. Please wait for a moment while the device establishes a connection with the system. In the event of a connection failure, please investigate the following:
1) Verify if the device's connection parameters align with the communication parameters found in the menu options.
2) Ensure that the communication line is properly connected and functioning.
Disconnect
After completing any operation with the device, you can disconnect the device's communication by clicking the "Disconnect" button.
Download Attendance Log
Data downloading from the device is only possible when the system and the device are in a connected state.
To initiate the download of attendance logs, you can directly click on "Machine" located on the right side of the main interface. Alternatively, you can access the Device Management menu and select the option to download attendance logs. This action will trigger a pop-up window, and the system will begin the download of logs from the device. Once the download is completed, press the "Ok" button.
User Download
You can download user information exclusively when the system and the device are in a connected state. Data downloading becomes accessible by selecting "Machine" on the left side of the main interface and choosing the "User Download " column. Alternatively, within the Device Management menu, you can opt for "User Download", which will prompt the appearance of the following window.
Download: To download user information, begin by selecting the
device from the right sidebar, and then click the "Download" button.
Once the download process is complete, a popup window will appear, indicating "User and Fingerprint download successfully". At this point, you should press the "Ok" button. It's worth noting that all downloaded user information is stored in the Employee database.
To delete a user from the device, follow these steps:
1. Access the "Delete User" functionality by selecting the fourth tab labelled "Delete User Info".
2. Choose the device from the sidebar.
3. Click on the "Get User Info" button, and the system will display a list of employees from the selected device.
4. To select users for deletion, simply place a checkmark in front of their names within the list.
5. After selecting the desired users, click the "Delete" button. This action will result in the deletion of the chosen users from the selected device.
User Upload
You can upload user information exclusively when the system and the device are in a connected state. Data downloading becomes accessible by selecting "Machine" on the left side of the main interface and choosing the "User Upload" column. Alternatively, within the Device Management menu, you can opt for "User Upload", which will prompt the appearance of the following window.
Upload: To upload user information to the device, access the second tab labelled "Upload". This feature is particularly useful when users inadvertently delete personnel information or when multiple devices are concurrently in use. It streamlines the process, reduces the effort required for re-enrolment, and allows for the uploading of personnel information from the database to the machine.
It's important to note that the upload data operation can only be executed when the system and the device are in a connected state.
To initiate the upload process, follow these steps:
1. Begin by selecting the device.
2. Next, choose employees based on their respective departments. For instance, within a company with multiple departments, if you need to upload certain employees from a specific department, you can achieve this by using your mouse to select the department. All employees associated with that department will be displayed in the list.
3. From the list of employees, select the individuals you wish to upload by clicking on their names.
4. You have the option to streamline this selection process by clicking the "Select all" button to choose all employees or the "Select None" button to deselect all employees.
5. Finally, initiate the upload process by clicking the "Upload" button. The system will then begin the upload procedure.
Once the upload is completed, the system will display a popup message. Click "Ok" to
acknowledge the execution of the process.
