Ingress is FingerTec’s latest software; highly recommended for door
access control installation. It’s packed with powerful access control features
such as graphical floor maps, real-time monitoring, centralized management,
data analysis and reporting etc.
First things first, you need to plan properly before implementing the
software, as most future inconveniences are caused by faulty installations. Don’t
rush into it and get tangled later. Here are 5 things you should look out for
to make your Ingress implementation smooth!
Get Your PC Requirements for Server and Client Right – Don’t assume that your system could take anything you provide. Check the specs of your PCs to match the requirements of Ingress to avoid future complication.

Components Required Before Installing Ingress – Don’t take these components lightly because
without them, you’ll stumble into problem in installation. For Ingress to
function properly, you will need to install these components first:
• MySQL Server,
• Microsoft .NET
Framework 4.0 Full,
• FingerTec Ingress
Software, and
• OFIS Scanner
Driver.
Please refer to page
7 to 12 in the Ingress manual for your reference. You can download the manual at http://www.fingertec.com/customer/download/postsales/SUM-Ingress-E.pdf
Test Server and Database Connection Before Using Ingress – It
might sound like a no-brainer but it is very important to test the server and
database connection (as shown below) before you start using Ingress. If you do not perform this
step, you will not be able to log into Ingress. I promise.

There you go. In a nutshell, don’t rush into an installation thinking that it’s
easy. Actually, come to think about it, it IS easy but you still have to pay attention to the crucial requirements and
details required to get Ingress up and running. I’ll talk more about Ingress in
my next blogpost. For now, why don’t you try the trial version if you still
have doubts about this powerful yet FREE Ingress software.
