If your connection success, server shows a success message

If your connection fails, server shows an error message

Once the serial number is set and ADMS is enabled, you will need to configure your server's IP address on the biometric device.

Follow these step-by-step instructions for the configuration.

Device Configuration

1. Access Machine Settings:
   • Navigate to the 'Comm' setting of the machine.
2. Configure Cloud Server Settings:
   • Enable Domain Name: Activate this if you plan to use a domain.
   • Server Address: Enter the IP (e.g., 192.168.1.1) or domain (e.g., example.com).
   • You can find your IP in the internet settings.
   • Server Port: Use 443 for online servers or the port your server uses (e.g., 8069 for local Odoo environments).
   • Enable Proxy Server (if available): Activate it and provide the proxy server’s IP and port.
   • HTTPS (if available): Enable HTTPS for secure data transfer unless using a local environment.

Once the device configuration is complete, it will send a request to the server with its serial number. At that point, the Odoo server will verify if the device exists by checking the serial number. If the device is found, its status will automatically be updated to "Connected."

After completing the device configuration, if your device fails to connect to the Odoo server, it will remain in the 'Not Connected' status. You only need to wait for a while (about 1 minute) for the connection to establish.
