Connecting The Terminals to TCMS V2
USING TCP/IP
An IP address is important, as it is the unique address of the terminal in LAN. Without the
IP address, locating the specific terminal is not possible.
To input the IP address of the termi-
nal: Press Menu > Comm. > Network > IP Address > Key in IP address > Repeat settings for
Subnet Mask & Gateway > Determine Net Speed (recommended at zero) > OK to Save.
USING RS232
For connection via RS232, the baudrate is the determinant of communication speed be-
tween the terminal and the software. The higher the baudrate, the faster the speed is.
To turn on the RS232 connection and set the baudrate: Press Menu > Comm. Icon >
RS232/RS485 > Change the RS232 connection to ON > Change baudrate > > Ok to Save.
USING RS485
For connection via RS485, the baudrate is also the determinant of communication speed
between the terminal and the software but the speed must be according to the speed of
the converter. Check your converter for the speed.
To turn on the RS485 connection and set
the baudrate: Press Menu > Comm. Icon > RS232/RS485 > Change the RS232 connection
to ON > Change baudrate > Ok to Save
Using USB to Download/Upload Data
A USB flash disk is useful in cases where the terminal is installed far from a PC or where
there is a connection problem. To determine the type of USB compatible by FingerTec
terminal, please refer to this link:
fingertec.com/newsletter/HL_74.html . Press Menu >
PenDrive icon > Choose the operation that you would want to be done via USB > Ok to
initiate or Back to Cancel.
