iGuard FPS110
P.7
The Time Attendance Mode is used to record the Clock In / Clock Out time of the
employees, and it is very useful to avoid the buddy-punching problem. The major
difference is that in this mode, the device is not used to control the door strike, and
there is no time & terminal restriction.
Master Mode vs. Slave Mode
In a multi-device environment where more than one iGuard device are connected to
the same corporate network, one device is assigned as the Master device, and all
others are assigned as the Slave devices.
Before a person can be identified, the person must submit his / her fingerprint
sample to the system. This process is called enrollment, and it can be done in any
device, including both Master and Slave devices. The user data will than be
automatically replicated to all other devices. In other words, once you enrolled in the
Master device, your fingerprint information is also available in all other slave devices
(and vice verse), and you can authenticate in any of these devices.
All the access records and the Clock-In Clock-Out records are also automatically
replicated from the Slave devices to the Master device, and so the Master device
contains all the necessary information. Therefore, you only need to access the
Master device, using the Internet Browser, to obtain all the access and attendance
records of the whole system. It is not necessary to access the Slave devices.
INSTALLING YOUR IGUARD FPS110
Power Requirements
iGuard FPS110 requires an 12V DC/800mA(or above) Switching Power Supply.
Although most Door Strikes in the market also use 12V DC to operate, we suggest
that do not share the same power supply with other device such as Door Strike.
Deciding where to install
iGuard is a wall-mounted unit with a very small footprint, and can be conveniently
installed anywhere. If used as an access control system, the product should be
installed closely to the door, so the user can open the door within the timeout period
after authentication (5 sec. by default). Also note the following points:
·
Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.
·
Do not install the product next to heat sources such as air dusts, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight and excessive dust.
Mounting the Metal Back Panel
The iGuard comes with a metal panel for mounting on the wall. For better
performance,
IT IS HIGHLY SUGGESTED TO CONNECT THE PANEL TO THE GROUND
. It is
because by grounding the system, the static charge that users may have can be
discharged easily to the ground, and will help improving the fingerprint images of the
users.
