Introduction
Synel SY-780A/760 terminals and their sub-models offer the
broadest range of effective time & attendance monitoring, shop floor
control, job costing, and access control applications.
The terminals have four mediums of access input: Fingerprint
identification and verification, magnetic, bar code, and proximity
readers.
The terminal features online/offline modes of operation and
communicates in real-time interface using TCP/IP protocol, which
makes it a comprehensive interactive system. It provides online
system management of employee reports as well as communication
of current employees' data.
Terminal communication programming employs Synel's user-friendly interface provided by SYncomm
or other advanced applications. This wide range of compatible communication applications supported
enable easily customizing the terminal to your unique requirements, while Synel's SAL compiler
enables flexible programming. Firmware can be upgraded remotely to facilitate maintenance.
The SY-780A/SY-760 terminals' mechanical design offers easy programming, while the back light and
32 character display allow quick and easy reading. The solid plastic casing and overall structure make
installation in an industrial environment simple and safe.The SY-780A has two sub-models, the SY-
785 AND SY-745. The SY-785 is offered with a variety of reader options, and supports 9,000
fingerprint templates for identification or verification purposes, with fast 1:1 and 1:N matching speed,
while the SY-745 is identical except for the number of function keys.

1.4 Communication and configurations
1.4.1 Communication parameters
Communication between the host and terminals is performed under an asynchronous mode. The baud
rate is programmable, enabling rates from 1200 to 115000 bps.
1.4.2 Multiple terminal configuration
RS-485 communication enables you to connect up to 32 terminals to a single COM port and/or to
extend the cabling distance to up to 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) using 9600 baud via an RS-485 multi-

drop line. RS-485 communication uses two wires as opposed to RS-422 communication, which uses
four wires.
1.4.3 Point to point configuration
A single terminal, equipped with RS-232 communications, can be connected directly to an
asynchronous RS-232 port. If RS-232 communication is used, only one terminal may be connected to
each COM port and cabling distances should not exceed 50 meters (160ft).
1.4.4 Network connections
The terminal can be connected to one of the following communication networks:
Ethernet - For this type of communication, an IP address is defined for every terminal, enabling
communication with each terminal in TCP/IP protocol.
Bluetooth - For this type of communication, a pin number is specified, to authorize the connection.
