gress user guide online. Setup Wizard will require you to do online activation before

Ingress Online Activation
Ingress is a genuine software by FingerTec. Every FingerTec access control model
comes bundled with a unique license key. To start using the terminal with Ingress, you
must connect the terminal to Ingress and perform an online activation. Ingress reads
the serial number of your terminal and sends it for verification at the FingerTec server
via the Internet.
In case you do not have an Internet connection, you need to do offline activation.
Please send the serial number and model of your terminal to your local reseller or
[email protected] to request for a product key and activation key.
