About Software
Fingerprint Access Control, Access Control based on biometric solution from Granding is designed to help you with all solution which can be use with access control system to limit the areas where each person is authorized to go, it might every be good to know where an individual has been. Who is still doubt, among various biometric systems, the fingerprint recognition system takes up most of the market, because it is easy to use as well as economical and capable of developing various types of applications. The current software version is Version 2.0 and its main functions are as follows: l Multi-terminal networking, real-time monitoring

No matter Ethernet connection or 485 connections, fingerprint machine can be added into management software. After all fingerprint machines are added, click Start Monitoring and the system will start relative monitoring from the first unit to the last unit. l Real-time record download

Fingerprint records on each fingerprint machine can be downloaded in real time. After download, these records will be stored in database automatically. If there is a attendance software, you can set database directory of attendance software as directory of the database to store these records. Then you can check attendance records at any time. l Search records and output records in various formats

When there are many fingerprint records, you can search records. During search, various condition search functions are defined, such as ID of fingerprint machine, time period, department, etc. Also records can be outputted in various formats. l Upload Access control setting

This function is to upload basic Access control setting and user Access control setting.

Department management

After created department, in User Management you can assign employees to corresponding department. l User management

This function mainly includes downloading user and fingerprint, editing users information and privilege, creating password for user, using U are U fingerprint sensor to add new user, uploading user and fingerprint. l Remote open door

In program, you can click Open Door button to remote unlock the selected door l l l Synchronizing time

Synchronize time of fingerprint machines. Upgrading firmware

Upgrade the firmware of fingerprint machine. Initialize fingerprint machine

In device management, you can initialize fingerprint machine.

Operation procedure steps as follow:


Hardware connection

This is the first step. Connect all fingerprint machines and PC together. Use RS232 cable to connect when distance doesnt exceed 15 meters. Under the condition of distance over 15 meters, it is recommended to use Ethernet connection.RS485 cable can be used for connection when distance exceeds 80 meters and can connect for 1000 meters maximally. l User management

This step is mainly to register each fingerprint machine or upload users. When there are many fingerprint records, it is recommended to use U are U Fingerprint Sensor to register users first. Then upload users to each fingerprint machine respectively. In user management, you can edit employees information, create password for employee and set corresponding privilege. l Access control management

For Access control, we define that all users are initialized as invalid user. User can become valid user in effective time period only after user is assigned privilege. So we need to upload Access control setting after we finish uploading users

Access control software introduction

2.6.1 Automatic monitoring


Run automatic monitoring when program start-up If this option is selected, program start-up will enable automatic poll all devices that has been connected with. If this option is not selected, program start-up will not enable poll. Default device rotation periodicity During device continue poll, some fingerprint machines may disconnect temporarily due to various reasons. Here, you can modify device rotation periodicity in second (it is recommended to set to 120) Remain device record Device record number means user attendance records that are downloaded in every device. You can enter a record number. If actual record number exceeds the pre-set value, the software will clear all fingerprint records stored in fingerprint machine. For example, record number to store is set to 1200, when record number downloaded is 1201, all fingerprint records in fingerprint machine will be deleted and record number downloaded resets to 0. Count for continuous failure retries Count for continuous failure retry (it is recommended to set to 3) that is convenience to reconnect automatically under the condition of fingerprint machine recovers normal connection. Run monitoring in specified Period time Here, we can define one time period to run monitoring. If run uninterrupted polling, it will bring huge burthen to whole monitoring network. You can define one time period to run monitoring, in order to reduce burthen of monitoring network. Please pay attention to time format, such as 06:00-22:00. Download all record cycle: Set the cycle to download record automatically. Synchronize time of fingerprint machines:

Access control software introduction

3. Access Control Setup


Access control setting is to set unlock time and assign privilege for registered users. Settings of each user consist of three period time settings and one group setting. Relationship between period time and period time is OR. Group also consists of three period time settings and by the same token, relationship between these three period time is OR. Simply put, if you want to keep a registered user in unlock status. Firstly the group that this user is in should be defined in unlock combination (one group can be defined in one combination together with other group, but these groups are required to unlock door together). Second, current unlock time is in any availability range of user time period and period time of its group. Under system default, a new registered user is in Group 1 and group combination is Group 1. So new registered user is in unlock status under default. If a group that user is in is not defined in group unlock combination setting, then the use can only record attendance and cannot unlock door.

3.1 Period Time


Time period is the smallest time period unit in Access control setting. In whole system, you can define up to 50 time periods. Each time period defines 7 time intervals, i.e. one week. Each time interval is valid time period in 24 hours everyday. Each use can set up to three time periods and the relationship between these three time periods is Or, which means the user is valid as long as identification time satisfied one of these three time periods. Each time period format of time period is HH: MM-HH: MM, i.e. in term of 24 hours format and precision to second. End time less than start time (23:57-23:56) means all day forbidden. End time larger than start time (00:00-23:59) means valid in the
- 43 -

Access control software introduction

time interval. Valid time period for user unlocks: all day open (00:00-23:59) or time period with end time larger than start time. Click Time period from Drag-down menu of Access Control Setting, window of adding Time period will pop up. Click Add button and system will pop up a timetable from Sunday to Saturday. Here, you can define any time period you may use. Then click Confirm to save the time period automatically. If you want to use several time periods, continue to click Add. In addition, time period can be edited and deleted.

3.2 Group
Group function can divide users into groups and combine different
- 44 -

Access control software introduction

groups to different unlock combinations, which make group management of Access control more convenience. So user can define many unlock combinations. System has defined 5 groups: Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, Group 4, and Group 5. Under system default, new registered user is in Group 1 and can be re-assigned to other group.
