1. I ntroduction
The SYnergy/A terminal is aLinux-based fingerprint biometric device which combines a multi-media color
graphic screen with technologically advanced features for all of your Time and Attendance and Access
Control applications.
SYnergy/A utilizes a full version of Java 1.7 as its basic framework for building applications. The device
supports Java graphics libraries SWT and SWING and TSL/SSL communication encryption.
SYnergy/A is compact in size and attractively designed and is also equipped with a built in camera and a
speaker for generating various sound effects such as alert notifications, report confirmation/rejection and
other actions or events.
SYnergy/A can be linked to a variety of networks in your organization to complement the systems already
in place. SYnergy/A is capable to integrate Time and Attendance with Access Control.
In addition SYnergy/Ahas a unique photo-taking function for attendance checking using a 1.3M pixel color
camera that snaps a photo of the user. A personal color photo, personal information and identification time
can be displayed on the screen.
SYnergy/Asupports TCP/IP networking protocol with optional Power over Ethernet (POE) capability. The
clock includes both a protected USB port and an external USB port.
SYnergy/A is offered with a variety of reader options, including barcode, magnetic and proximity, and
supports 3,000 fingerprint templates (standard configuration) or 10,000 templates (optional) in SmackBio
reader, 9,050 in the Suprema reader for identification or verification purposes, with fast 1:1 and 1:N
matching speed.

2.1.5 Communication and configurations
2.1.5.1 Communication parameters
Communication between the host and terminals is performed under an asynchronous mode. The
baud rate is programmable, enabling rates from 9600 to 115000 bps.
2.1.5.2 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.
2.1.5.3 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).
2.1.5.4 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 each terminal, enabling
communication with each terminal in TCP/IP protocol.
GPRS
- For this type of communication, one SIM card with available GPRS service must be inserted
into the terminal.
2.1.5.5 Function configuration
Enter the corresponding menus and set functions you desire.

5. A Biometric fingerprint reader located below camera, supports 3,000, 9,050 or 10,000 templates.
6. Magnetic/bar code card reader (located on the right side of terminal).
7. Internal proximity reader indication.
8. Function keys are located on the left, below the display. F1~F4 keys are programmable. F1 is also used as
the power button of the terminal. IN and OUT keys are two special function keys.
9. A numerical keyboard of sixteen keys, including Enter, Escape, and arrow keys, is located below function
keys. They are mainly used for menu operation, input etc.
