1.5 INSTALLING THE TERMINAL IN YOUR NETWORK
Network connection
Your terminal can be connected to your network, using either Ethernet (Wired LAN) or WiFi (Wireless LAN), depending on the model. First of all, your terminal needs to get an IP address from your network router. To find a free IP address on your network you can use the DHCP protocol, whereby your terminal is automatically assigned an IP address. If you do not wish to use DHCP, you can also manually assign a fixed IP address to your device. First you need to check the IP address of your computer (make sure it is connected to the same network as the terminal!), as the terminal needs to connect to the same IP address range.

- Press the Windows key on your computer keyboard and type 'CMD' in the search bar. Press Enter.
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe
C:\Users\John\ipconfig
C:\Users\John>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS suffix : networkname.local
Link-local IPv6 Address : fe80::852c:5404:4468:64c6%11
IPv4 Address : 10.0.2.15
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 10.0.2.2

C:\Users\John\ping 10.0.2.22
-
A small window will appear on your screen. In this window, type 'ipconfig'.
-
The IP address of your computer will be displayed.
-
To search for a free IP address which you can use for the terminal, type 'ping', followed by your IP address, change the two last digits, and press Enter.
If you see a message such as 'Reply from 10.0.2.22 bytes = 32 time < 1ms TTL = 64', it means that the IP address you selected is not available. Try again with another IP address. If the IP address you selected is available you will see the message 'Destination host unreachable'.
Note down this address since this will have to be entered into the terminal.
1.6 LAN CONNECTION

1.32 Press MNEWigate to COMM using the arrow keys and press OK

Select Ethernet. Press . highlight IP address and press .



- Enter the free IP address you have found (see 1.5 step 4).
It is not necessary to change the other settings. Press ESC several time to go back to the main screen. Your device is now connected to the network using the Ethernet (LAN) connection.
1.7 WIFI CONNECTION

- 3 Press MENU, navigate to COMM using the arrow keys. Press .OK

- Select 'Wireless Network'. Press OK

Make sure that the WiFi checkbox is checked. A list of all available networks will be shown. Select the network you want to connect to.

- The terminal will prompt you for the network password. Enter the password using the keypad of the terminal and press OK

- Wait for the connection to be established. The terminal is now connected to the network using the WiFi connection.
1.8 DHCP: PROS AND CONS
Using DHCP will enable you to connect your terminal to the network without having to find a free IP address, thereby simplifying the connection process. The DHCP server will automatically assign a free IP address to the terminal. However, if - for whichever reason - your DHCP server has to be restarted, your terminal might be assigned another IP address, which in turn could cause connection issues. In this situation, you need to manually change the terminal IP address in the Safescan TA-software on your computer.
1.9 SETTING UP AN ADMINISTRATOR USER (SUPER ADMIN)
Why set up an administrator?
Even though it is not mandatory, it is strongly advised to set up an administrator on the terminal. This will prevent employees accessing the menu of the machine and performing unwanted operations. After the administrator user has been registered, access to the menu of the terminal is locked for anyone else.

-
- The device will gate to the first Payerable using the arrow keys, press .OK

Select 'New User'. Press .OK

3.
It is not necessary to change this ID. Press the down arrow key to highlight name, and press OK
![Name Please Input IN key to switch input method, OUT key to enter space [Aa]](/content/2026/06/1267121/images/d5e46fb1147b241383f765a65075ebe3abda056f836e258223fe3b60515d0e03.jpg)
- Enter the user name with the alphanumeric keyboard). When you have finished, press OK twice. You can also leave this field empty and edit the user name at a later moment with the Safescan TA PC-software.

- Select User Role and press OK

- Navigate to Super Admin and press .ok
Select the verification mode you want to use. We strongly advise, at least for the Super admin, to enable login with different verification modes. For example you can register a fingerprint and a password, or an RFID card and a password. In case one identification means is not available (anymore), there is always another solution to access the menu.
We recommend to note down the administrator password and store it in a safe place. If you do not have the ability to log into the terminal as administrator, the only option is to do a full reset of the terminal resulting in all data and user settings being lost.
1.10 REGISTERING A FINGERPRINT

- Select 'Fingerprint' and press OK

- Select the finger you want to register, using the arrow keys or the numeric keys, then press OK. The system will take your fingerprint 3 times in order to generate a reliable template. When the enrol has been successful, the system returns to the 'New User' registration page.
1.11 REGISTERING AN RFID CARD OR KEY FOB

- Select 'Badge Number' and press OK.

- Hold the RFID card/key fob in front of the terminal. You will hear a beep notifying you that the RFID number has been registered, the terminal returns to the New User screen.
1.12 SETTING A PASSWORD

1.14 ENROLLING USERS (NORMAL USER)
The user enrolment process of a normal user is identical to the administrator enrollment, see chapter 1.9 to 1.11. The only difference is in the User Role.

- For a regular user you need to select Normal User.

- In the New User setup screens you will now see "Normal User" in the User Role field.
The basic clocking scenario: the screen of the terminal always displays the clocking status of the system. IN (→) or OUT (→) is displayed at the top bar of the screen, the corresponding symbol is also highlighted at the bottom of the screen. The terminal has two default states: IN (→) and OUT (→). If an employee comes in, they just needs to verify that the terminal clocking status is set to IN (→), and identify themselves (fingerprint, RFID bagde or pin code), their clock-in time is thereby registered. If the employee has finished working, they need to verify that the terminal's clock status is set to OUT (→) and identify themselves - their clock-out time is thereby registered.
- Using fingerprint identification: Select → or →, and press the finger on the fingerprint reader on the terminal.
- Using RFID identification: Select → or → , and swipe the badge/ key fob in front of the RFID reader on the terminal.
- Using password identification: Select → or →, type in the user ID, press OK, type in the password, and press .OK
For more advanced scenarios (such as clocking with workcodes), please refer to the advanced section of this manual, chapter 2.10.

1.16 RETRIEVE USER AND CLOCKING DATA USING A USB STICK
If you do not have access to a network connection, or choose not to install the terminal in your network, you can use a USB stick (USB flash disk) to retrieve the user and clocking data from your terminal and transfer them to the TA-software. It is also possible to upload user data edited in or created with the TA-software into the terminal via a USB stick.

2.7 DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
It is possible to have your terminal automatically change time for summer and winter time. There are two different ways to do this: by date/time, or by week/day. The Date/Time mode is the easiest to set-up: just enter the date and time when daylight saving time begins and ends. The downside of this method is that these dates vary from year to year, meaning they have to be manually set into the terminal every year. Even though the Week/Day mode may seem a bit more complicated to set up, the big advantage is that the daylight saving time does not need to be entered again every year.

Work codes (can also be referred to as function codes) can be used to track special activities / events during working hours. You can link a clocking to a work code.
- New Work Code - Define an ID and a name for a new work code.
- All Work Codes - List of all the work codes present in the terminal. It is possible to edit the name of a specific work code, or to delete it from the terminal.
3. Work Code Options
3.1. Work Code Required - When enabled, users will be prompted to select a work code every time they clock in/out.
3.2. Work Code Must Defined - When enabled, users have to select a work code from the existing work codes list. If not, it is possible to enter a number, even if this number does match any work code ID in the work code list.
3.12 AUTOTEST

3.13 SYSTEM INFO
Information about the terminal.
- Device Capacity - Number of enrolled users, administrators, passwords, fingerprint templates, RFID cards, and attendance logs.
- Device Info - Various information of the device, including the serial number, the fingerprint algorithm, and the MAC address.
- Firmware Info - Version numbers of the various services running on the terminal.
3.14 USE OF BIOMETRIC DATA
The system used by Safescan does not store any image of the fingerprint, but only an anonymous, mathematical reference template. The personal features of the fingertip are vectorised in unique points and converted by the terminal into a complex numerical code, using a special algorithm. The corresponding employee number is then linked to this value. The fingerprint image can never be reproduced by the terminal or exported from the terminal – only the numerical code is stored. Misuse of personal data by unauthorised persons is thereby avoided.
Since all Safescan TA terminals offer a dual authentication option, in case your employee(s) have any concerns with clocking by fingerprint, there is always the option for the employee to choose their own 8-digit PIN code and identify themselves with this code to the terminal.
