Using Out of the Box to Manage Fingerprint Templates on the PC

Copying fingerprint templates to your PC provides a backup in case of environmental damage or vandalism to the clock. This procedure will also allow you to skip the enrollment procedure should new Smart Clocks with Fingerprint Readers be purchased and existing templates are to be uploaded to them.

Note: Communication between the Smart Clock and PC must be established in order to follow this procedure. This can be done using the direct telephone cable, Ethernet Board, Wireless Network Adapter, or Internal Modem.

Backing-up Fingerprint Templates to the PC

I. Open the Out of the Box program, and click “Utility” > “Perform Clock I/O” (see Figure 57).

Figure 57. Out of the Box, Perform Clock I/O

II. The “Clock Interface Control” window will open. Click on the drop down arrow next to the “Clock Number” field to display the list of available clocks to communicate with.

III. Select the clock number that corresponds to your Smart Clock with Fingerprint Reader and click the “Connect” button. Once connection is established, click the “Template Management” button (see Figure 58)

IP Address Configuration

To see Smart Clock’s 50320 Ethernet Board Click Here

Smart Clock Ethernet Boards are shipped with a default
IP address of 0.0.0.0 which automatically enables DHCP with the unit. If there is a DHCP server on your network, the board will be able to pick up an IP address, gateway address and subnet mask when it boots up.

LANTRONIX DEVICE INSTALLER
The Lantronix Device Installer program allows the user to locate and configure the Ethernet Board’s IP address on a given network. This program can be downloaded and installed from the SmartClock.com website.

I.Open the Lantronix DeviceInstaller program. The home screen will open (see Figure 64).

Figure 64. DeviceInstaller Home Screen

II.Click on the “Search” button located at the top of the window.

III. After a few moments, “XPort-03” should appear on the screen along with its assigned IP address and designated hardware address (see Figure 65). If it does not appear, check all connections from the Ethernet Board to the Smart Clock and verify that both are powered.

Figure 65. DeviceInstaller Search Results

Note: DeviceInstaller cannot locate Smart Clock
Ethernet Boards across different subnets. Either the Ethernet Board must be on the same subnet for configuration purposes or DeviceInstaller must be installed on a computer connected to that subnet. The Out of the Box program is not required to configure the Ethernet Board, so it does not have to be installed on the other subnet.

IV. If you would like to assign your own IP address to the Ethernet Board, continue to steps V – IX. If you would like to keep the current IP address, please skip to the “PING DEVICE” section on the next page.
