Facial Recognition Terminal/WebUI Setup

C-F4A WebUI Setup

Description

This tutorial will go over how to set up and use the C-F4A Facial Recognition Terminal using the internal WebUI.

Prerequisites

• C-F4A Controller
• Local network connection

Step by Step Instructions

1. Today we will be going over the initialization of the device using the WebUI as well as the initial basic set up to get the device up and running. This guide also assumes you have already connected the pigtails to the back of the C-F4A. Now because this document is going to be using the WebUI, you need to have the device connected to the network. You can either power with the AC adpter and then connect to a regular switch, or you can just connect it through a POE switch to power it and provide network. The device also has wi-fi but that will be covered in a different document. Once you provide power to the device it will begin to boot up. Go to a computer that is on the same network as the device and pull up LumiUtility. LumiUtility should scan the network and it should find the device “Unactivated”. To activate the device you can either activate through LumiUtility or WebUI. For this document I will use the WebUI to go through the activation.

2. Since we now know the IP of the device on the network, we can open a browser and navigate to the devices IP Address. Once there it will begin taking you through the activation process. Choose your language and then click next.

3. The next page will ask you to provide a password for the admin account as well as an email address for resetting the password if you want to set one up. After filling the information in, click next.

4. On the next page you can choose if you want the device to look for updates automatically. Make your decision and then click completed.

5. After clicking completed, you will be brought to the login page. Go ahead and enter your admin credentials and click login.

6. Once logged in, the first page you will be brought to is the user management page. Lets go ahead and set up a user. To do so click the “Add User” button which will bring up the add user page.

7. On the add user page you have a few options.

• 7.1 User ID – This is a unique ID for each added user. This should only be numbers.
• 7.2 User Name – You would input the name or alias of the person/user here.
• 7.3 Valid From and Valid To – This covers the dates where this user would be valid between.
• 7.4 User Type – Allows you to choose the type of user this user will be.
• 7.5 Weekly Schedule – This allows you to select the schedule that this users credentials would be valid to be used.
• 7.6 Holiday Schedule – Allows you to apply a holiday schedule to the user.
• 7.7 Permission – This allows you to set the user as a regular user which provides door unlock access, or you can set them as an admin which allows them to also have the ability to make changes to the controllers setting.
• 7.8 Authentication – Covers the different authentication methods (Face, Password and Card)

8. Next we will go through setting up the different authentication types. When setting up face from the WebUI, it will pull up the file menu so you can find a picture on the PC to add. If you prefer you can do this from the controller itself as it may be easier to take the photo directly with the controller but either option works.

9. When adding a password, it will pop up with the password input screen. You need to input the password twice to confirm the password.

10. The last authentication method is card. After clicking the add button for card, you will hear the controller indicate to scan the card. When you first click it, it will give you a count down to add the card. If you take too long you can click read card to start the count down again. You will need to go over to the controller to scan the card. Once the card is scanned it will pop up and display in the window. You can then click add and then if you are done creating your user, you can click add and the user will be added.

11. From here, the controller is set up enough for it to function. You can go through and add more users if needed, otherwise you can start using it to authenticate and unlock the door. For more advanced functions you can check the other guides.
