Introduction:
Turnstile is a form of gate which provides access to an individual at a time. It also can be utilized as a way to enforce a one-way traffic for the community in addition to restricting passage to only authorized individuals.
In this article, we will show you the installation diagram for FingerTec Q2i reader with the turnstile. Note in our setup: apart from using Ingress software for the access control and attendance software, we also will be applying our new TimeTec TA application as the cloud storage system to store the user and transaction data into cloud.
Following the setup, users can thus use TimeTec TA to view the data at any time from any place by computers or through their smartphones.

Introduction:
FingerTec has updated Q2i FEM800 firmware which now includes an enhancement on Permanent Door Open feature to provide more flexibility in terms of scheduling door opening.
Benefits:
Permanent Door Open Close Time Zone feature in Ingress allows you to set the unlocking option for your doors with up to 3 different intervals daily. This feature is usually used in Service Centre whereby the front door is often kept unlocked for customer access without the need for staffs to unlock the door. Previous firmware of Q2i is only able to support 1 interval and with this firmware update, the system can now support up to 3 intervals.
Process:
For the Service Centre front door, it should remain open during working hours and close during lunch time. Hence, there are two time-interval to be included for this situation. Considering that the device is using normally close door, the two time zone intervals are:
1) (0800 – 1200) – First Work Period: Door will automatically unlock at 8 am and lock at 12 pm.
2) (1300 – 1700) – Second Work Period: Door will automatically unlock at 1 pm and unlock at 5 pm.
Steps in Ingress software:
1) Add new Time Zone
2) Set your interval as Permanent Door Open period.
In this situation, we need to include 2 intervals which are during First Work Period and Second Work Period.
As Sunday and Saturday are rest day, the interval will remain (0000 – 2359) in order to ensure that the door is always lock.
3) Assign the Permanent Door Open Close to Your Doors
To change the settings of your door, click on your door name and click on Edit at “Details”.
4) At the Permanent Door Open Close Time Zone, click on the drop down list.
5) Synchronize the changes to the device (Q2i).
6) Sync and restart your device.
You can also refer to this /2016/05/the-flexibility-ingress-gives-your.html for more information about Ingress Permanent Door Open Close Feature.
FingerTec Authorized Reseller can now login and download the latest firmware of Q2i FEM800 at http://tips.fingertec.com/tips-download-firmware.php. For end users, please contact your local reseller or FingerTec Support Team to acquire this latest firmware update.

Introduction
QR110 QR Code Scanner is FingerTec latest product that comes with a new verification method: QR Code along with the capabilities to scan RFID/MiFare access cards as well. As a slave reader, QR110 will need to be paired with FingerTec Ingressus controllers and master readers such as R3, R2, Q2i and etc before the whole system works.
Supported model:
Q2i, R3, R2, Face ID 3, Kadex, m-Kadex, Ingressus I/II/IV
QR110 is built with a 26-bit Wiegand communication. Even though FingerTec master devices comes with 34-bit and 26-bit Wiegand, by default all FingerTec Master Devices is set with 26-bit Wiegand Communication.
For information on QR110 (MiFare), please refer to this post:
How To Pair QR110 (MiFare) With FingerTec Master Readers
Please follow the steps below for QR110 (RFID) installation:
Process:
1) Connect the wirings between QR110 and FingerTec Controller and Biometrics Devices
For Ingressus I,II, and IV, please connect the respective devices to the following QR110 ports (D1, D0, GND, VCC) as shown in the circuit diagram below:
QR 110 to Ingressus
For Master Readers (R2, R3, Kadex, m-Kadex, Q2i, Face ID 3), please connect the respective
devices to the following QR110 ports (D1, D0, GND, VCC) as shown in the circuit diagram below:
Example : R2 Connection to QR110
2) If there is no response on Master device when you wave card or scan QR code on QR110, please check the Wiegand bit Format in FingerTec Device
*QR110 is not compatible with Q2i (FEM 510)
and proceed to input the IP address of m-Kadex into the software tool. Once updated, the
m-Kadex device will now accept 26-bit Wiegand Connection. (This method can also be applied
to R2 and Kadex) Please refer to the screenshot below for more information:
In Ingressus I, II, and IV, the devices will automatically detect and configure its Wiegand Connection once connected to QR110. Therefore, removing the need for any manual setting.
After the configuration is done, the FingerTec devices will then be paired with QR110.
Effective immediately, Q2i
devices can now be paired with R2c readers. However, this is only possible for
Q2i devices with a core board that is version FEM800. When purchasing a brand
new Q2i terminal, remember to notify the sales person that the terminal is to
be paired with R2c as the slave reader.
If you are already using a
Q2i device at your place, please check the core board's version (either FEM600 or FEM800) before pairing it
with an R2c reader. You can check this info by using the FingerTec Device Info
tool. Read more for the step-by-step guide to enable the Q2i-R2c pairing.
The automatic sliding door can be opened by activating control methods such as motion
detectors, push buttons, key switches and access control readers.
There
are three types of input that can be used by the automatic sliding door controller/motor
if you want to implement access control as the activating control method. Read more to see the three inputs.
The FingerTec 3G module is
ready to be used in models with FEM 800, which are TA200Plus (normal 12V
model), Q2i and Face ID 2. Refer to the below table for technical
