When you wish to attach a fingerprint scanner, you need to follow these steps to set it up:
1. Run Full Contact™.
2. Attach the scanner (refer to documentation for the scanner being attached).
3. Enter registration details (this step is only required when using fingerprint scanners).
4. Run Martial Class™.
5. Open the Options Dialog from the Settings menu.
6. Add a new device on the Peripherals tab.
7. Give the device a name and host PC connectiondetails (you can use a hostname or IP address for the Server column , or "Localhost" for scanners on the same PC as Martial Class™. The default port is 9069) and select USB Biometric as the device type.
In this example, the new finger scanner is attached to a PC with the address 200.43.5.1 and Full Contact™ on that PC is configured to listen on port 9072.
8. Scroll across and double-click in the Device column on that row, this will display the Select Full Contact Scanner window.
Here you can select the new device and then save your changes. This allows you to start using the scanner in Martial Class™. By default it will not be scheduled for marking attendance in any classes, to learn how to set this up, read the next section Attaching Scanners to a Class.
If Martial Class™ is unable to connect to Full Contact™ on that machine, then a popup alert window will report the error from the network or operating system. You also may need to configure your firewall to allow connections to the required port.
