Introduction
Anti-passback is a security system feature that is primarily used to prevent users from passing their credentials (such as access cards) back for another user to borrow and to stop users from entering an area by simply following or tailgating another user.
For this article, we will guide you on the anti-passback setup for model m-Kadex and k-Kadex.
Requirement
- M-Kadex (Master)
- K-Kadex (Slave)
- Power Supply 12VDC
- Electromagnetic lock (EM Lock)
- Ingress/TCMS V3 software
Wiring Diagram
Steps
-Please refer to the diagram above for the Master-Slave connection.
-Connect the master reader to the server or PC using TCP/IP port.
-Connect with Ingress/TCMS V3 software.
-At the software, select DEVICE -> select device -> Access Control -> Edit -> Select Anti-
Passback Option.
- Save and synchronize.
How does it work?
-When a user accessed the Master device (IN door), you can see ‘Access Denied’ sign appeared when the user tries to enter at the same door again.
-You can only access the Master device again when you leave the area or access the Slave device (OUT/exit door)
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
[email protected], we will update it as soon as possible.
Introduction
FingerTec QR110 is a slave QR code reader for door access, and recently this model has been designed to also read MiFare card. This is a quick guide on how to pair QR110 (MiFare) with FingerTec Master Readers.

All the FingerTec terminals are equipped with a
flash memory to store transaction data, fingerprint templates, face templates, etc.
The flash memory is a permanent (non-volatile) storage and it can store data
even without the power supply. The FingerTec terminals’ memory capacity varies for
each model. Time attendance only terminals have far less transaction storage
capacity compared to the multimedia models.
When you perform a successful verification, the
terminal will store a transaction log into its memory. The transaction will be
stored in the terminal until it is downloaded into our TCMSv2 software, or
manually deleted. If you do not download or delete the transaction data after a
period of time, the memory’s storage will reach its maximum capacity and the
terminal will cease to work or function properly. If you are using a USB flash
disk to manage the transaction records, click here for further instructions. If you are only using the
FingerTec terminal for door access purposes and do not need the transaction
data, it is recommended that you perform a housekeeping to ensure that the
terminals to continue to work in a tip top condition.
You can set a reminder at the terminal before
its memory reaches the maximum capacity. If the configured figure is 99, the
terminal will alert users when it reaches its last 99 transaction
storage.
For terminals AC100, TA100, AC900, R2,
Kadex : Press Menu >
Options > Log Opt > Alm SuperLog / Alm Attlog
Alm SuperLog: to instruct
the terminal to alert user if the transaction storage of administrator login is
less than the configured figure. The default figure is 99.
Alm AttLog: to instruct
the terminal to alert user if the transaction storage is less than the
configured figure. The default figure is 99.
For terminals AC100C, TA100C, TA200 Plus,
Q2i, I-Kiosk 100, R3, and TA500: Press
Menu > System > System > Log Alert
For terminals Face ID 2, Face ID 3: Press Menu > System > Log Setting > Log
Alert
For terminal I-kiosk 100 Plus: Press Menu > System > Param Setup > Log Alert
Log Alert: To instruct the terminal to alert user if the transaction storage
is less than the configured figure. The default figure is 99.

New firmware to apply to Kadex, m-Kadex, R2, AC900, Q2i, TA200 Plus, i-Kiosk 100 & i-Kiosk 100 Plus to work with AdapTec Plus
Update the new firmware of the above models to support the “encrypted 26-bit Wiegand output”. The encrypted 26-bit Wiegand output is specially developed to work with FingerTec’s AdapTec Plus. After each verification, the output for the models above encrypts codes via the 26-bit Weigand signal to the AdapTec Plus to send a door open signal for the users.
Without this new firmware, you will not be able to use the above models with the AdapTec Plus for access control purposes.
New features for TA100C and AC100C Webster connection
Update the new firmware of the TA100C and AC100C, to allow the terminals to work with Webster. This is a fundamental firmware update to add the Webster connection to the mentioned models. However you will still have to contact [email protected] to request a second firmware update to activate Webster settings in your terminal.
New features for m-Kadex
Update the new firmware of the m-Kadex to get these 3 new features:
- To delete attendance logs in m-Kadex
- To download/upload data into USB flash disk
Before this, an administrator can only choose to reset and clear all information in the m-Kadex. Installing the firmware in the m-Kadex, will allow you to clear attendance logs only. Now, administrators can easily clear the attendance logs in the m-Kadex to avoid a memory overflow.
To delete attendance logs in the m-Kadex: wave administrator card 7 times at m-Kadex
Previously, administrators can only use the USB flash disk to download attendance logs and not users. After installing the new firmware, administrator will be able to download attendance logs as well as user data into USB flash disk.
To download attendance logs and user data into a USB flash disk: Plug USB flash disk into m-Kadex à wave administrator card 9 times at m-Kadex
The previous firmware in the m-Kadex does not allow an administrator to upload user data into the m-Kadex via USB flash disk. An administrator can only upload user data to the m-Kadex via the TCMS V2. The new firmware fixes this flaw, and allows administrators to upload user data into m-Kadex via a USB flash disk.
To upload user data to m-Kadex via USB flash disk: download user data into USB flash disk à Plug USB flash disk to m-Kadex à wave administrator card 11 times
Download or view the latest m-Kadex hardware user manual guide here.
