Getting The Most Out of TCMSV2
Welcome to the TCMSV2
Before you start learning how to setup and use your software, it is important that
you get an idea of what and how the TCMSV2 functions.
The TCMSV2 is a customized software specifically designed to centralize, store and man-
age all data extracted from connected FingerTec terminals to create an easily managed
and networked attendance solution, simplifying human resources tasks and thus, re-
ducing labor costs of an organization. It comes complimentary with every terminal, and
gives you access to data from your FingerTec terminal. Much like how you use a software
to extract and edit photos from a digital camera, the TCMS V2 enables you to download
and process attendance records from your FingerTec terminal.
Setting up and installing a FingerTec time clock or access control terminal at your office
building is just the beginning of implementing a total attendance and access control
system in your organization. In this manual, we will guide you on how to install your
TCMS V2 software, activate each terminal from the software, add/delete/manage us-
ers straight from the software, manage access control functions, and ultimately how to
download, process, and customize reports and interpret the data from the TCMS V2.
If you have not used the TCMS V2 before, we advise you to closely follow instructions in
this manual to quickly and effectively learn the ways of the software, and avoid deleting
crucial information from your terminal. FingerTec has 24-hour support lines available
by emailing
[e-mail] and live chat via various means (visit www.fingertec.
com to find out how) should you have any difficulties or feedback.
We hope you find this software and its functions useful for your organization. Thank you
for choosing FingerTec!
Note: Please note that this manual applies to TCMS V2 version 2.2.021 and above ONLY. While di erences be-
tween previous versions and the V2.2.021 are only a few, FingerTec strongly recommends that you update your
TCMS V2 version regularly to the latest version. Email
[e-mail] for further inquiries.
