A Simple Tool to Upload User Photos into Devices That Runs on FEM Series Coreboards

Thursday, August 25, 2016 TimeTec 12 Comments

Introduction

 The newest version of TCMS V2 and TCMS V3 are compiled with the latest Software Development Kit (SDK) to build an advance adaptation of TA100C and AC100, which are equipped with the new Core Board version known as FMM 100, replacing its older predecessor, FEM510. 

 However, due to the situation that FEM510 and FMM100 models are running on different platforms, the new SDK used in these 2 software are not fully compatible with the older models that are running on FEM coreboards. Thus, uploading user photos into FEM model devices can no longer be done directly from TCMS V2 or TCMS V3.
Benefits

 Having photo identification during fingerprint verification will further enhance the validation process that the machine is capturing the correct user.
This tool allows the administrators to upload multiple user photos at the same time, without requiring any software assistance.
Process

 To upload user photos into FEM devices, please follow the steps below:

 Step 1:
Be sure to have the device connected to a PC through TCP/IP connection. You can test the connection by pinging the device’s IP address, and connecting it to Device Info tool

 Step 2:
Proceed to download the “FTUserPhoto” tool from here. 

 Step 3:
Go to your PC’s Control Panel > Program and Features > Turn Windows feature on or off > Check the all the options under “.NET Framework 3.5(includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0” option.)

Step 4:
Prepare the user photo according to the specifications below:
- The resolution of the photo must be 320 x 210px, and the size must not be more than   
 30KB.
- File type must be in JPEG format (.jpg)
- Ensure to rename the user photos the same as the user IDs (for example user ID is 900, the photo must be renamed as 900.jpg)

 Step 5:
Copy all user photos and paste them inside the “FTUserPhoto” folder (User photos must be in the same folder with the FTUserPhoto tool)

Step 6:
- Turn OFF your PC’s Wi-Fi, Windows Firewall and Antivirus  
- Run the FTUserPhoto tool as Administrator
- Insert device IP address and click the “Connect” button. (it will show the device information once connected)

Step 7:
- Tick User Photo (box 1)
- Then click the button (box 2) and Select user photos.

Step 8:
Click “Update”, and the tool will update the user photos into the device, and reboot the device once.

Step 9:
After successfully updating the photos, you will be able to see the photos accordingly during the verification process. Kindly refer to the pictures below;

      Dear Sir / Ma'am,

      Good day to you,

      Please be informed that we are no longer releasing a new update for this tool. We advise you to upload the user photos via FingerTec sofware (TCMSv3 or Ingress) as it is much more convenient.

      Another solution left is to change the device comm key to 0.

      Thanks & Best Regards
