1.3 System introduction

1.3.1 Brief introduction

T&A system is divided into two parts: Terminal and T&A (Time and Attendance) management software.

Terminals primarily are responsible for day-to-day T&A, building card files. You can keep communication between

terminal and management software after plugging terminal to power supply and linking it to network.

Access database management software, in which manager can establish staff files and other information to terminal

by RS232/RS485 and TCP/IP. And manage can also upload logs from terminal to management software for analyzing

report of shift. In addition, the USB interface makes data transmission between terminal and software more

convenient

And the software supply path to SQL2000.


10

Terminal and management software can be communicated by RS232/485 and TCP/IP.

1.3.2 Users register fingerprint.

First of all, users establish an ID No. and then under this ID No., register your finger by pressing the same finger for

three times. Terminal will get the character of your finger under that ID No., and store it into fingerprint memory. When

verifying, Terminal identifies status by comparing the current finger with previous registered one.

Under the same ID No., one user can register three different fingerprints, and even can register 10 fingers.

1.3.3 Two kinds of users

The users include administrators and general users:

1.3.3.1 Administrators:

Those who are authorized to operate all the procedures on the terminal, browse the deleted or recorded data,

browse the system information and set up functions and environment. Since the administrators have the right to

manage all the procedure on the machine, it is important for him to remember his password firmly, it is troublesome if

it is forgotten by carelessness. Please contact with the manufacture if that happens

1.3.3.2 General users:

General users are the users who can only press their fingers or wipe their cards or input their passwords to leave

their logs. If they verify by finger, then they can press their fingers on the sensor directly or input their ID number first,

then press their fingers. If verify by password, they should first input their ID number, and then input their password to

verify.

1.4 Terminal maintenance

Please pay attention to the following items

(1). Please clean dust on the sensor first of all;

(2). Please wipe sensor with clean tampon;

(3). Please don’t wash sensor with water, alcohol and other lotion;

(4).Please don’t press sensor with force.

1.5 Work principle

1.5.1 Fingerprint T&A

Fingerprint terminals receive digital signals through fingerprint image recording equipment recognition memory, as

well as external equipment (such as locks, door buttons and other equipment) controller.

It is the Irreplaceable fingerprint character that shows one’s status, Fingerprint sensors capture the human finger


11

and then combine fingerprint image acquisition with software, every one could register ten fingerprints. And the

fingerprints images are made into corresponding encrypt documents stored in the machine.

When staffs put their fingers onto the sensor, sensor will compare the fingerprint put on just now with the original

image of the register, so it is very important for us to register the good fingerprint at first. It will show successful if

fingerprints are accordant, or else, there are some differences between them, such as, too dry, too wet, too dirty,

exposed skin or so on (see pictures below). In order to avoid this situation, we’d better to register other two backup

fingers. And for fingerprint registering, the recommendation of the fingers: the thumb, index finger and middle

finger.register and so on.

After staff put their fingers onto sensor, their info of fingers and time of T&A are recorded into terminal and then

transmit their info from terminal to computer by appropriate modes, such as, RS232 or RS485. After analyzing these

data on management software by managers, statements in attendance will be showed up. Excel spreadsheet of

printing can also be derived

Note: When register finger, the user should put his/her finger on the correct posture, see the following picture:

Correct Posture

1.5.2 T&A with card reader (optional)

T&A terminal is storage equipment which records digital information by receiving terminal identification card, as well

as external equipment (such as locks, open buttons and other equipment) controller.

There are particular frequency induction coils in internal cards and CMOS chip, each card corresponds to the

only one number. With each card staff files will be established in the management.

When cardholders wipe their cards on card-reader areas, then their particular status are recorded and stored into

the terminal. By appropriate means of communication, such as, RS232 or RS485 and TCP/IP. The information will be

sent to the T&A management computer, after analyzing these data on management software by managers,

statements in attendance will be showed up. Excel spreadsheet of printing can also be derived. But it is invalid if the


12

staff did not register with the card before.

2.2 Equipment installation

2.2.1 Installation notice

Make sure that the terminal equipment is installed in the room. If being installed outdoors, you should notice that

water exposed to the adverse circumstances.

Make sure that the equipment is installed with metal grounded backplane in order to avoid the current pulse and

avoid shocking terminal equipment.

To prevent electrical short circuit, we suggest you not share power with other equipments.

You should avoid the direct exposure of sunlight or a large number of sandstorms in this region. otherwise it will

affect the use of keyboard.

Because of the small size of terminal, it can be installed at any place. If terminal is used for access control or

T&A, it should be installed beside the door so that users can check in and out automatically before doors unlocked.

You should pay attention to two points about site of installation: One is that you should ensure that there is

enough air for dispelling heat, the other is that do not install it near the place with the source of heat, direct irradiation

and lots of dust.

The installation of metal backboard is necessary and it can release static if users when connected to power

supply with the earth wire.

Chapter 4 Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: Are there any notes in the installation and using fingerprint terminal?

Answer: We should note the matters of the following three aspects of the using of fingerprint terminal:

(1) Initialize the fingerprint terminal before using, to prevent the existence of lawless fingerprint and lawless

password.

(2) The installation of fingerprint terminal affects its future using directly, so please install it by the professional

personnel according to the requirements of ZKS Company strictly, and please don’t change the installation

requirements and parameters optionally.

(3) Pay attention to the maintenance of Fingerprint terminal during the daily process, to ensure that it is running in

the good environment.

Question 2: Could it still verify when the Fingerprint Window is dirty?

Answer: It can work when the Fingerprint Window is dirty, but you must pay attention to the maintenance of finger

terminal and especially the fingerprint window at any time. General speaking, please wipe the fingerprint window with

the soft cloth, but note not to use the organic solvent of viscous liquid, alcohol or oil etc.

Question 3: What about the durability of fingerprint module? How long has it been used in normal condition?

Answer: Fingerprint terminal adopts the most advanced fingerprint module, this fingerprint module is processed with

toughened & thick glass material, of which wearable degree is strong and normal operation life can reach up to five

years.

Question 4: Fingerprint could be copied, can the copied fingerprint be used to verify?

Answer: Fingerprint picture can be copied, but the copied fingerprint picture cannot be identified on the living

fingerprint sensor, this is because the Fingerprint terminal adopts the most advanced living fingerprint identification

technology and finger sensor can verify well only for living object fingerprint.

Question 5: Whether someone's fingerprint is the same as yours and can verify my terminal?

Answer: No fingerprint is the same as yours, because the fingerprint is varied as different people, even that the

fingerprints of ten fingers of a person are not the same.

Question 6: What can I do if my registered finger is scratched? Can I verify freely?

Answer: If your finger is just scratched a little, it won't affect the opening function of fingerprint, because it adopts the

automatic restoring function in ZKS Fingerprint terminal, fingerprint sensor can restore the rupture of fingerprint

according to the trend of fingerprint, so as not to affect the normal verifying of fingerprint. But the restoring function of

fingerprint cannot realize the complete restoring when the finger is scratched seriously, so we suggest that you

register one or two backup fingerprints, if your registered fingerprint is injured, you can use the backup fingerprint to

verify; if your fingers are all injured, you can input the password or card.


29

Question 7: Most of others' fingerprint terminal adopt capacitance fingerprint sensor, but ZKS fingerprint terminal

adopts optics fingerprint sensor, which is better?

Answer: In current, the technology used for collecting fingerprint image is optics technology and capacitance

technology. Capacitance technology obtains the complete fingerprint by the measurement of chip, the price of the chip

is expensive, the collection range is small, but fingerprint collection is not reliable, which causes the difficulty to the

using of users, in addition, it is easy to be interfered, whether static interference, salinity of sweat or other swag and

the abrasion of finger can make collection head be difficult to read fingerprint. But for optics, it collects fingerprint by

the reflection of light, optics fingerprint collection head provides more reliable solution and improves the primary optics

image-capturing technology, the new optics fingerprint sensor adopts the imaging technology with 500 DPI, which is

suitable to peoples aged 6 to 80; adopt the newest light road imaging system and increase the exoteric anti-

interference ability; the surface of fingerprint sensor uses nanometer plating film to deal with and make the fingerprint

sensor more wearable, it make the capacitance sensor be outshone as the unquestionable character and favorable

price.
