Conf.igure TCP/IP connection
Internet Protocol (IP) is a unique numeric designation of each device within a network.
Without an assigned IP Address, it would make identifying a specific terminal difficult.
The default IP address of each terminal is 192.168.1.201. Connect your terminal via a
RJ45 (LAN cable) to connect to your local area network.
To change the IP address:
Step 1: Menu > Comm. > Ethernet > IP Address > OK
Step 2: Insert the IP Address > Press Down arrow to go to the next column
See below to understand every column.
• IP Address: Known as Internet Protocol Address, the default configuration is
192.168.1.201.
• Subnet Mask: Set to 255.255.255.0 by default, this is used to manage a specified net-
work range. You may change the subnet mask if you have multiple networks in your
company.
• Gateway: By default, it is configured as 0.0.0.0. Only configure the gateway if the
device and PC are on different IP ranges.
• DNS: Domain Name System. By default, the DNS has been configured as 0.0.0.0. If you
are using your own internal DNS servers, please change your DNS to ensure that it is
reflected accordingly.
• TCP COMM Port: The default port is 4370. Only change the number if your network is
unable to utilize this port.
• DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It’s used to allocate dynamic IP address-
es to clients on a network.

USB drives can be utilized to transfer data between FingerTec devices and software if a
cable is unavailable. You can export employees’ attendance records (transaction logs)
from the device to the USB drive, and import the data from the drive directly to your
management software and vice versa.
