Understanding the Need for USB Flash Disk
Communication between the Face ID  and a PC is very important to upload and
download transaction data for time attendance and door access reports. The Face
ID  offers a few communication options such as LAN and serial cable connections
but sometimes there are scenarios that require USB (Universal Serial Bus) connec-
tivity. USB can connect Face ID  with a computer for download and upload of user
information and transaction logs.

only work with USB flash disks that supports minimum Linux Kernel 2.4.x, works
fine with Imation, Transcend and Pen Drive (minimum support Linux Kernel 2.4.x)
