SYSFX9

The reader is suitable for recording and monitoring personal access using facial recognition, biometric fingerprint scanning, or card/chip. Communication is carried out via WiFi or TCP/IP.

You can find the SYSFX9 reader on our e-shop or contact your sales representative.

Before installation

  1. Before installation, make sure that all cables and wires, including power supply, are disconnected from the device. Failure to do so may result in device damage or even pose a risk to health or life.
  2. All unused wires should be properly terminated to prevent access and avoid potential intrusion into the device.
  3. In areas where static electricity may occur, connect the neutral power wire first to protect the device from static discharge damage.
  4. Connect the power wires and power supply only after all other wires have been completely connected.
  5. The recommended installation height of the reader is such that the camera lens is at eye level.
  6. When testing the exit button, ensure a clear passage in case of incorrect wiring or malfunction.
  7. To connect the reader to external devices, use a multi-core (8-core) shielded cable. Connect the shielding at one end only, to a protective grounding point.
  8. For the power connection, use wires with a cross-section of at least 2.5 mm². Keep the distance between the power source and the reader as short as possible to minimize voltage drop.
  9. For RS485 connections, use only twisted pair cable with wire cross-section of at least 0.5 mm².
  10. Avoid routing the cable alongside power cables. If unavoidable, maintain a minimum distance of 50 cm between them.

Activating the Reader with the SYSDO System

Before First Use

Before turning the reader on for the first time, remove the protective cover from the battery contacts.
The reader comes pre-configured and ready for use with the SYSDO system.

By default:

  • DHCP is enabled,

  • communication with the SYSDO system is active,

  • the time zone is set to Central European Time (CET).

Reader registration, user assignments, and access types are conveniently managed via the SYSDO online interface.

Basic Terminal Configuration

The reader is configured to communicate with our server and send access data to SYSDO. Simply connect it to the internet, add it to the system, and it’s ready to use.

1. Ethernet

The reader is set to DHCP by default. Simply connect the network cable. To disable DHCP and set a static IP address, press the F4 button – this opens the communication settings.
Go to Ethernet – OK, then DHCP – OK, use the arrows to change it to NO and confirm with OK.
Enter the IP address and other network settings according to your local network configuration.

2. WiFi

  • F4 Button: Using the Down Arrow to Wi-Fi, OK
  • Change Enable to YES, confirm with OK
  • Scroll down to the last item Search, press OK
  • Available Wi-Fi networks will be scanned
  • Select your desired network and press OK
  • Enter the Wi-Fi password – be careful with uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers (use the right arrow to switch characters)

Adding a Terminal to SYSDO

The procedure for adding a terminal to SYSDO can be found here.

User Registration and Uploading Verification Data

You can register a new user by navigating to Administration – Users – button . Fill in the user information and click .

To upload verification data (fingerprints, face, card/chip), a window will open where you select the reader on which the user will be registered. Then, choose the operation – uploading a fingerprint, face, or card/chip. Click Next.

The reader will begin the scanning process and prompt the user to place their finger, position their face, or present their card. The system will display a message indicating that the scanning has started on the reader. Once the user completes the required steps for data capture, click Next.

The data will be retrieved—wait until the progress indicator turns green and shows Saved. Then click Finish.

Editing a Reader from the Web Application

Assigning Users to the Reader

After uploading and saving the login data, ASSIGN THE USER TO THE READER – without assignment, the reader will not recognize the user.

You can assign the user in two ways:

  1. From user editing – Administration – Users – edit user – Readers tab – check the readers where the user should be recognized.
  2. From reader editing – Administration – Readers – edit reader – Users tab – select who is allowed to authenticate on the reader.
  • Status On/Off
  • Title
  • IMEI
  • Model SYSFX9
  • Zone – if you have created Zones in SYSDO (for example, according to branches, company departments, etc.). If editing is not possible, the setting is inherited from the connected reader. Configure it on the connected reader.
  • Timezone – if editing is not possible, the setting is inherited from the connected reader. Configure it on the connected reader.
  • Language
  • Verification mode – select how users will be able to authenticate.
  • Reverification time – the time during which you can re-authenticate. During this period, no event is sent to the server.
    Reader menu -> Settings -> Log -> Verification time (min). Default value: 0 s.
  • Photo access
  • Door opening time – relay activation time – not relevant if the reader is not connected to a door.
    Reader menu -> Settings -> Access -> Door opening time (s). Default value: 5 s.
  • Door sensor mode – not relevant if the reader is not connected to a door.
  • External reader
  • Auto access types – we recommend enabling this option – the SYSFX9 reader does not have a touch display. With automation enabled, access types are assigned according to the defined shifts and schedules, so there is no need to select access types manually (via buttons). The access type is detected automatically (no need to select it on the reader).

Here you can select who will be allowed to authenticate on the reader. Expand the user tree using the small triangles next to the checkboxes.

 If you don’t want anyone other than the attendance administrator to be able to change the reader settings, set up a hardware administrator for the reader. When attempting to access the reader menu, administrator authentication will be required – fingerprint, face, card, or PIN – depending on your configuration.

Assign as administrator someone who is ALWAYS present in the company. If communication fails and the designated administrator is absent, it will not be possible to access the reader settings. You can assign multiple administrators.

 

Here we select which access types are available to users.

BUTTON SETTINGS

If button automation is turned off and button selection is required:

  • Access Type 1 will always remain empty, or “Automatic” – it cannot be changed.

  • Right at the setup stage, we recommend printing the button labels and placing them near the reader.

  • We suggest assigning the most commonly used access types to buttons F1–F3 (i.e., Check-in, Check-out, Break) and assigning F4 to provide access to other options – MENU.

Verification can be set as follows:

  • The user first selects the access type and then authenticates.

  • The user first authenticates and then selects the access type.

 

The Operations tab allows remote data retrieval from the reader and remote reader control.

User operations:

  • delete all users in reader

  • upload all users to the reader

  • get all users

  • display the last retrieved users

Reader operations:

  • resend configuration to reader

  • reboot

  • read settings

  • read info

  • get time

  • open the door

  • get all G-log

  • list of unknown verifications

  • read F buttons settings

  • firmware upgrade

 

Reader control

The SYSFX9 reader does not have a touch screen. It is operated using the buttons located below the display. To select the access type for authentication, use the F1 button, then navigate with the arrows. The left, right, up, and down arrows are used to move through the menu and access types. Confirm selections with the M/OK button. This button is also used to enter the Reader Menu. To go back or cancel a selection, use the ESC button.

  • When entering text, the left arrow deletes characters.

  • The right arrow switches between uppercase letters, numbers, and special symbols.

  • The F4 button provides a shortcut to Communication settings.

Connector description

  • 5-pin connector – for example, for connecting a door lock

  • 12-pin connector – for Wiegand communication, RS485 communication, Exit button, etc.

  • Power In/Out

  • Power supply – with the included 12V adapter

  • TCP/IP – Ethernet (network) cable
