Interaction with the device

The iDFace allows users to interact with the device in two distinct ways: through its graphical interface displayed on its touchscreen and through its web interface.

Graphical user interface

The graphical user interface is accessed via the device's touchscreen. Through it, you can configure almost every aspect of the device, as well as register users, departments, and schedules.

Status bar

The status bar displays indicators of the device's state, operation, and usage. The status icons present on it are:

Main screen

The main screen displays the date and time, which will be recorded in the access log with each identification attempt. The main screen also shows the result of the identification attempt, which can be: not recognized, authorized, or not authorized.

Standard command buttons

Buttons like the ones listed below may appear on all screens.

Text editing screen

Whenever this icon appears: , the field can be edited via a text editing screen, as shown below:

Combo Box

Whenever this icon appears: , the field contains multiple items that can be selected. A screen like the one below should open when the corresponding field is pressed:

Through the main menu, it is possible to access all the device features:

  • Registration of users, departments and schedules;
  • Additional settings;
  • Report display;
  • Access settings;
  • Intercom settings;
  • Facial settings.

All these options will be detailed in the following chapters of this manual.

To access the main menu, press the [MENU] button on the home screen. If an administrator is already registered, you will be asked to confirm your identity as shown on the screen below:

In this case, identify yourself normally by biometrics, card, or password. If you have administrator privilege, the main menu will be displayed normally. If you do not have administrator privileges, the message "User does not have administrator privileges" will appear on the screen.

Web interface

Like the Graphical Interface, the Web Interface allows the administration and configuration of the device but with the convenience of using a browser.

Access to this interface is done through user authentication and password, which by default are both "admin". It is highly recommended that the device administrator change the password as soon as possible to prevent unauthorized persons from controlling the device.

To access your product's Web Interface, open any modern browser, preferably Google Chrome™, and, in the address bar, type the IP of your device (e.g., http://192.168.0.129/).
