cation process to the computer as the FingerTec OFIS scanner cannot prompt users with the result of verification. The OFIS scanner can only be used as an enrollment station for the FRIS server. Computer installed with FingerTec TCMS V2 A computer installed with FingerTec TCMS V2 is a must for FRIS to function properly and the TCMS V2 installed must have accessibility to the FRIS server.
If the fingerprint fails to be verifed, the FRIS server will return a message to the FingerTec terminals to alert the user to try again. FRIS server with FingerTec TCMS v2 User fingerprint TCM S TCM V2 S V2 Transaction log PC FRIS SERVER PC Computers with FingerTec TCMS V2 installed can access into the FRIS server to pull transaction logs of all users.

For example, as shown in this diagram, FRIS Server 1 is located in a HQ (zone 1) while FRIS Server 2 is located in a branch or in a remote site (zone 2). FingerTec TCMS in HQ has to pull transaction logs from FRIS Server 1 to generate reports through the LAN network. FingerTec TCMS in HQ is able to access FRIS Server 2 in the branch, by Internet or WAN, to pull the transaction data.
of the verification will be displayed on the computer connected to the OFIS scanner. The transaction log will stay inside the FRIS Server and can be pulled via the TCMS for further analysis.
