Ingress Online Activation

Ingress is a genuine software by FingerTec. Every FingerTec ac-
cess 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 online activation. Ingress reads
the serial number of your terminal and sends it for verification
at the FingerTec server via Internet.

In case you do not have an Internet connection, you would
need to do offline activation. Please send the serial number
and models of your terminals to your local resellers or

support@

fingertec.com

to request for a product key and activation key.

terminals to differentiate them between one another. Ingress can con-
nect up to 999 units of terminal. Press Menu > Options > Comm Opt >
Dev Num > Select the number.

terminal in LAN. Without the IP address, locating the specific terminal
is not possible. To input the IP address of the terminal: Press Menu >

USING TCP/IP: It is important to setup the Ethernet to connect the
terminals using TCP/IP connection. Setting up the Ethernet is done by
enabling the Ethernet function:

to Yes. Now, plug-in the network plug to the Ethernet interface and turn the
power on. Determining the Netmask, Gateway and NetSpeed: For TCP/IP
connection, please configure the netmask, gateway and netspeed for the
terminal.

connection.

USING RS232 CONNECTION: For connection via RS232,baudrate is the de-
terminant of communication speed between the terminal and the software.
The higher the baudrate, the faster the speed is. To turn on RS232 connec-
tion and set the baudrate:
Press Menu > Options > Comm Opt > RS232 >
Change the RS232 connection to Y. To change baudrate: Press Menu >
Options > Comm Opt > Baudrate > Change the Baudrate accordingly.

the determinant of communication speed between the terminal and the
software but the speed must be according to the speed of the converter.

set the baudrate:
Press Menu > Options > Comm Opt > RS232 > Change
the RS485 connection to Y. To change baudrate: Press Menu > Options >
Comm Opt > Baudrate > Change the Baudrate accordingly.
