How To Add Face Id 5/Face Id 6 Device (Time Attendance - T&A Push) In Ingress And AWDMS Software

INTRODUCTION


Face ID 5 & 6 series is the all-new face and palm verification terminal equipped with the latest facial recognition technology, an all-rounded upgrade that results in greater performance and reliability. These models have 2 device type options that you can choose: Access Push Protocol (A&C PUSH) and Time Attendance Push Protocol (T&A PUSH).


Before proceeding with user enrollment and license activation for AWDMS software, please ensure you select the appropriate device type. By default, the device is assigned with the Door Access Push Protocol (A&C PUSH). If you wish to use Face ID 5/6 for only time attendance purposes, please change the device type from A&C PUSH to T&A PUSH. 

For Face ID 5 and Face ID 6 devices with A&C PUSH device type, please refer to the technical tips from link below on how to add the device in Ingress and AWDMS software.
