Master and Slave Mode
Each iGuard can be configured as a Master unit or a Slave unit.
By default, iGuard is configured as a Master unit. In a multi-device environment where
more than one iGuard device is connected to the same corporate network or over the
internet, these devices can form a Master / Slave network. In this case, one of these
devices is assigned as the Master unit, and all others are assigned as Slave units.
The advantages of forming a Master / Slave network are:

The system automatically re
plicates all the users’ information to all devices in the
master / slave network.

Once a user has registered in a unit ( either a Master or a Slave unit), the
information will become available in all units in the same network, and the user can
get access to and verified by any one of the devices in the network.

All access log records, such as the Clock-in and Clock-out records, created in any
of these units are collectively saved in the Master unit, allowing the administrator to
retrieve the access log records for all devices from a single location.

Different access rights can be assigned to each individual iGuard unit.

The master unit can optionally synchronize its clock with all the slave units (time
zone adjusted).
The following is a typical Master / Slave setup:
In the above example, the Master unit is located in the New York Headquarters, and the
other Slave units are installed in various places connected via the Internet. All the user
information is available to all these units, and all the access log records of all these units
are centrally saved in the Master unit.
