Chapter 1 - Introduction
The SY-7000 series data collection terminal is introduced by Synel as a top of the line hardware terminal.
The terminal has almost unlimited capabilities when partnered with Synel’s additional time and attendance
software and hardware products. By using one or more of several different input methods, the SY-7000
series terminal records the time, date, employee number, and other collected data to be processed by a host
computer. The SY-7000 series data terminal has the capability to accommodate auxiliary inputs and
outputs used to control a wide variety of systems ranging from door access control to bells and alarms.
Each SY-7000 series terminal model type includes slightly different features. This guide is a compatible
and reliable installation guide for each type of terminal, regardless of the model type.
SY-7000 is an Open architecture terminal which enables the user to create their own settings and uses for
the terminal. The unit user defined capabilities are user-created using the Linux open source platform.
This SDK manual provides you with the information needed to create your own user defined system to
collect and manage Time and Attendance data.
1.1 SY-7000 Capabilities
In an effort to broaden availability and functionality of customer use, Synel offers several different model
types of the SY-7000 series data terminals. Each model type (7100, 7200, and 7500) differs slightly in
features ranging from wireless communications capabilities to LCD interactive touch screen menus. Please
refer to the Model matrix at the end of the book and the sales spec sheet for individual attributes.

• Supports the following bar code formats: Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, Industrial 2 of 5,
Codabar, UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC/EAN 2 & 5 digit AddOn, Code 11, Code 93, MSI/
Plessey, Code 4, Code 5 and BC412
• Internal Proximity Reader
The Proximity reader receives input via a two wire Wiegand type logic level interface consisting of a
pair of data lines Data0 and Data1. Data input via this interface is typically a small stream of from 26 to
36 bits representing a binary ID number that is broken into two or more fields in the software. Some
custom adaptations of this interface use longer bit streams of up to 60 plus bits.
