FTDP FOR HOME USERS
An Introduction
Congratulations! You have chosen to secure your home with FingerTec access control
devices. Now that your device is installed and is in its place, it is time to learn how to
manage and maintain the device.
The FingerTec Data Processor (FTDP) is a basic software designed to upload and down-
load various information from a FingerTec device without much hassle. The download
and upload can be done by a connected LAN cable, or to keep wires at a minimum, a USB
flashdisk can also be used to transfer data between the device and the FTDP.
As a home user, there are several important functions that you will need to know and
perform as you use your device. To start off, you’ll first need to install the FTDP into a
computer in your home, and then add your device into the software’s database.
For instructions on installing the FTDP, see page 5 of this manual.
Adding Your Device into the FTDP
To start viewing access records using the FTDP, you will have to add the terminal into
the FTDP first.
To add a terminal via USB flashdisk: Click Add > Select to USB flash disk > Fill in Device ID,
Serial number and model > Press Save to save settings.
To add a terminal via TCP/IP cable: Click Add > Insert the terminal’s IP address > Check
that “Port No.” value is 4370 > Check that “COMM Key” value is 0 > Assign a name to the
terminal > Click

Downloading & Viewing Access Records in the FTDP
Now that your terminal is installed and your family members and other users are en-
rolled into your device
(for user enrollment, refer to your hardware user guide/ quick
start guide) , you can now use the FTDP to download access records from your device.
Everytime a user verifies at the reader to enter the premises, a record is kept in the device
with information of the time & date of verification, and the user ID that verified at the ter-
minal. To view a history of all the records, you’ll have to first download it into the FTDP
To download access records: Click on Transaction > Click Download > Select your device
to download from > Optional: Click Delete Terminal Data After Download to erase the
records after downloading it into the FTDP > Click Download > Clock Exit when done.
