But for the detailed, complicated settings, we recommend to use the management software.
Setup the User Accounts for the Software A User of Flex series access control software is a person who operates the software at any user interface. Each user belongs to a certain authority group. The authority group defines the authority level of users over the operations in the software. Different authority groups have the different access to the operations in the software.
Keypad Settings define whether the reader is a keypad reader. The System Reader can be used to acquire the card’s serial number easily and conveniently. 4. Configure the alarm settings All of the alarm inputs can be assigned to the different alarm outputs. Also users can set the events that can trigger alarm outputs. Configure the Holidays, Access Group and Door Control Schedule At this step, users will configure the holidays, access groups and the door control schedule. 1.
Enroll Fingerprints for Card Holders Fingerprints for card holders can be enrolled not only from the controller, but also from the software. An additional fingerprint module is required to enroll fingerprints from software. Only a couple of models from Secugen are able to work with the software. Model Hamster Plus is recommended to use. Customers can buy a fingerprint controller kit from EverFocus that includes a Hamster Plus USB fingerprint reader, or buy it directly from Secugen (www.secugen.com).
