How to connect TimeTec TC10 or TC20 to AWDMS (ATT) & Ingress Software

 

Introduction 
For the latest version of AWDMS and Ingress Software (version 4.2.3.2), you can use TimeTec device model TC10 or TC20 with Ingress Software and AWDMS to capture the transaction log data as attendance in Ingress and AWDMS.

Process
1) If you use LAN connection, configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway on your device
Go to Menu > COMM. > Ethernet. 

2) Configure the Server Address and Server Port on your device. Go to Menu > COMM. > Cloud Server Setting. 
 

Note: Server Address is your computer IP address where the Ingress and AWDMS are installed. You can check it using Command Prompt and type in ‘ipconfig’.

 
Server Port is the default port which is 8088 or you can check it in AWDMS. Go to the Attendance module in AWDMS > Device > Search Device. 
 
3) Before you can activate your device in Ingress, you need to make sure that you are able to search it in AWDMS (Attendance). Go to Attendance module > Device > Search Device > Search.
Note: Once the device is found, DO NOT add it via AWDMS. You only need to add it in Ingress.

4) Add the device in Ingress. Go to Devices > Add Device > Set the Device Name > Select AWDMS ATT as Communication Mode > Key in Serial Number and device IP address > Click Add.

Troubleshooting – How to fix duplicate record inside Attendance Sheet (INGRESS MYSQL DATABASE)



 
Introduction
When managing an attendance system, sometimes you might bump into several issues or problems like a corrupted database or table, which can cause the admin unable to view or generate the Attendance record correctly.

In this article we will guide you on how to fix the duplicate record when you generate the Attendance Sheet on Ingress MySQL database.

Problem & Issue
1.  When generating the Attendance Sheet, Ingress system shows a duplicate user with same date and clocking time.


Solution
1.  Please go to the User tab and check the list whether you can find a duplicate user with the same User ID or Name. If you find a duplicate user, please remove this user from the system, then download back from the terminal. After that, re-generate the Attendance Sheet and check the result.

2. If the problem persists, please go to the next step by closing the program and open the MySQL manager tools program.

3. If you do not have this MySQL manager tools program, you can download from the link below.
4. Open the SQLyog program and reconnect to the Ingress database. Under Ingress database you need to open Attendance table > right click > select More Table Operation > select Truncate table > Yes.

 
5.  By truncating the Attendance table, you have removed all generated Attendance records from the Ingress system.

6. Close SQLyog manager tools, then run Ingress DB Installer. Run all 3 steps (Test Connection, Update Connection and Upgrade Database)


                                            
7. Close Ingress DB Installer, then run Ingress program. Open Attendance tab > select Attendance Sheet > select Generate > select All User and Date Range > Generate.

 
8. Once completed, check the Attendance records. You can see the duplicate problem has been resolved.

How to Solve the Failed to Upgrade Database Error in Ingress MySQL Software

 


Introduction
Whenever a user is unable to launch Ingress software, it will require you to run Ingress DB Installer to connect the software with the database again and complete the steps Test Connection > Update Connection > Upgrade Database.
Sometimes, when it comes to Upgrade Database, an error message “Failed to Upgrade Database” will appear. This error message occurs due to some of the tables in the Ingress database having crashed or being corrupted. The following tips provide you with a solution to resolve this problem quickly.

1. Download the SQL yog community software from the link according to your operating system.
 
• For an operating system in 64-bit please download SQL yog from:

• For an operating system in 32-bit, please download SQL yog from:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/SQLyog_Community/SQLyog+12.2.1/SQLyog-12.2.1-0.x86Community.exe
 
2. After successfully installing the SQL Community, please run the software to connect with the MYSQL database. First, you need to fill in the required Host address, Username and Port of the MYSQL database. Then, click on Test Connection and Connect.

3. Upon connecting to the localhost database, you should see on the left panel of the window a list of the Ingress database. Next, click on Tools > Table Diagnostic.

4. Next, select ingress database > Tick Use_Frm, Local and Extended checkbox > Click on Repair.

5. Please wait until the Repair process is completed and Table Diagnostic Information will prompt out. Then, you can click OK to close the windows.

6. Next, tick the Local checkbox and click Optimization. Once completed, it will prompt out Table Diagnostic Information.

7. Once the Repair and Optimization are completed, please run Ingress DB Installer. Complete all the steps Test Connection > Update Connection > Upgrade Database. When you click Upgrade Database, you will not face the ‘’Failed to Upgrade Database error’’ anymore.
