Introduction
This post is intended to those who may face problem in setting up Face ID 2 FMM220 with R2c combination.
Wiring installation
Settings in Face ID 2 FMM220
Other than the proper wiring setup, there is a setting to configure in Face ID 2 (Master) for master-slave setup to work correctly.
Go to Face ID 2 terminal, enter Menu > Comm. > Serial Port > Master Unit. Tick ‘Master Unit’ to complete the setup.
**Do not adjust the dip switch unless you are connecting the R2c with the Ingressus controller. If your R2c is unable to send any fingerprint or card data to the master terminal, please check the dip switch. Make sure it is set to the default settings as highlighted.
Note: If some of the screenshots or steps viewed here are different from the ones in the current system, this is due to our continuous effort to improve our system from time to time. Please notify us at

Introduction
Access Combo is an access control function that requires verifications to be done by a combination of different users. This function is suitable for highly-secured rooms or vaults that need more than senior-level employees from different departments to verify their identities before the door can be accessed. This tip will explain how to set this function in case your company would want to use it.
Steps and Procedures
To set up an access combo for two persons, each person must be assigned to a different group and a different combination
To set up a group and assign a user into a group.
Menu > Options > Access options > User acc opts > ”define user pin” example (101) > Belong to GRP “1”.
Repeat Step 1 for the second user: -
Menu > Options > Access options > User acc opts > “define user pin” example (102) > Belong to GRP “2”.
To assign two persons for an operation combo
2.1 We need to create a combo name, in this example is Combo No 1.
Menu > Options > Access Options > Access Comb > Comb No 1 > OK.
Next, we need to assign two persons in this Operation Combo:-
Person number one belongs to GROUP “1” and Person number two belongs to GROUP “2”.
3. Access Combo For three Persons
Below is an example of Access Combo for three persons but the access can be granted by only two persons at one time: -
3.1 Repeat Step 1 for User Number 3 that belongs to Group 3:-
Menu > Options > Access options > User acc opts > “define user pin” example (103) > Belong to GRP “3”
3.2 Create another combo named as Combo No 2:-
Menu > Options > Access options > Access Comb > Comb No 2 > OK: -
In Combo No 2, the users must be assigned as:-
Person number one belongs to GRP “1” and Person number three belongs to GRP “3”.
3.3 Create another combo named as Combo 3: -
Menu > Options > Access options > Access Comb > Comb No. 3 > OK: -
In Combo No. 3, the users must be assigned as:-
Person number one belongs to GRP “2” and Person number two belongs to GRP “3”.
When the settings have been done, and the door access is assigned with Access Combo function, the relevant people’s fingerprints have to be presented at the door in order to access it.
Anti Passback for One Time IN, One Time Out for R2c (Slave) and R2
Anti Passback is a feature that prevents users from tailgating through controlled areas by tracking the entry and exit counts. A user can only exit an area that they have already been entered and can only enter an area that they have been previously exited.
How to Use
First, we need to determine which device will be assigned as IN and OUT, depends on the installation of the device.
If the R2 has been determined as IN for the door, you can change the configuration as below: -
Menu > Access Options > Slave Unit “Y”
If the R2c (Slave) has been determined as IN for the door, you can change the configuration as below: -
Menu > Access Options > Slave Unit “N”
The configuration for an Anti Passback can be set as below: -
Menu > Options > System opt > Adv Option > Anti Passback NoA
Menu > Options > System opt > Adv option > Anti Passback “In Out” > OK > Esc > Save
If the configuration doesn't work, it means that the CMOS battery inside the R2 has already drained. To fix this, change the battery CR11220 inside the R2 and all enrolled users have to be *deleted. Then, re-enroll the users via Ingress software.
*Please make sure to do the back up from the device before you delete the enrolled users.
NOTE: For R2 Firmware, the version is 5114-07. Once you have checked the firmware version, key in the number “6 1 6 1” and then press the “Up” button.
If you find the firmware version is different from the picture above, please contact
[email protected] to request for an assistance to update the firmware.
Note: If any of the screenshots or steps in this manual are different from the current system, it is due to our continuous effort to improve our system from time to time. Please notify us at
[email protected]. We will update it as soon as possible.
INTRODUCTION
Previously FingerTec R2 was paired with the slave device R2i. Due to major improvements carried out on the slave, R2c was introduced as a replacement to R2i. However, with the improvements, the new R2c can only support R2 with Biobridge VX10.0 algorithm and incompatible to R2 version 565 with Biobridge VX9.0 algorithm. The differences in algorithm versions disallow transfer of fingerprint templates between the previous R2 and the latest R2. And to use the new R2, users need to reenroll all user fingerprint templates again, a very impractical solution for organizations that have a large number of employees. As an alternative solution, we suggest the pairing of the old R2 unit (565) with H2i unit to work as master-slave in-out readers. This combination can be configured to work with Biobridge VX9.0 algorithm smoothly.
BENEFITS
By choosing this method, you can skip the reenrollment of users’ fingerprint templates and use the existing fingerprint templates (BioBridge VX9.0) from the old device to be transferred into the new units.
PROCESS
To set up this R2-H2i combination, you need to connect these 2 terminals according to the connection diagram below.
Terminal configurations:
AT R2 (565) MASTER
Change BioBridge Algorithm Version from Vx10 to Vx9.0
Press Menu > Option > System Option > Adv Option > Alg Ver > 9.0 > Ok > Esc & Save
Setting For Wiegand Input For R2.
Press Menu > Option > System Option > Wiegand > Input setting > FP device > Input format = WG26 with ID > Esc > Input = User > Esc & Save
AT H2i SLAVE
Download the FingerTec Terminal Function Tools at http://www.fingertec.com/download/terminal-func.zip
Change AdapTec Plus to Off
Start up the FingerTec Terminal Function Tool and connect to the H2i terminal and change the AdapTec Plus to OFF at Access Control menu.
Change BioBridge Algorithm Version to Vx 9.0
Start up the FingerTec Terminal Function Tool and connect to the H2i terminal and change the BioBridge Algorithm to Vx 9.0 at General Menu.
And now you’re done. By pairing old R2 565 version with the latest H2i, it could save you tonnes of time enrolling the new templates for all users. If you found yourself stumbled upon this predicament, give this suggestion a serious consideration. Contact us at
[email protected] for further information.
Introduction
With the new release of our latest products, some terminal installations are different from our previous guides and diagrams. Below is the full installation wiring diagram and settings to connect R3 with R2c.
