The only wired barrier which remains is; <strong>Network Connectivity <\/strong>and consumers nowadays watch out for wireless transmission options.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This article will try to familiarize you with one of the wireless connectivity options the contactless face reading attendance and access control system works on, <strong>WiFi connectivity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Steps to Configure Wi-fi in Bio-Facer Reader<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>HOW IT WORKS:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>The option for WiFi lies in the network settings in the option <strong>Settings<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Available WiFi networks will appear by clicking on <strong>click to scan available networks <\/strong>where we will be entering the SSID (WiFi network name) and then entering the password. If the WiFi is on an open network, the password will be 1234.<\/li>\n<li>In general settings, enter the IP address, DNS( Domain Name System) which translates human-readable domain names to a machine-readable I.P address, Netmask which divides the I.P address into subnets, and Gateway which helps in sending local network traffic to other networks.<\/li>\n<li>Talking about DHCP( Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) which is a network management protocol used to automate the process of configuring devices on I.P networks, checking and clicking the dynamic, and putting the machine on reboot.<\/li>\n<li>After the machine restarts, it gets connected to the WiFi, and signal strength can be seen on the screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>CLIENT-SIDE PROBLEMS &amp; SOLUTIONS:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To understand it better, let\u2019s start with the machine connectivity modes:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Server Mode: <\/strong>In this mode, the machine and the software both are connected to a company\u2019s local network only and not with the internet.
