ekey fsx App

[mishoboss]

Hi, I'm new to the LogicMachine world. I just got one LM and two FSX scanners and I try to make them work with LM. Both scanners blink orange LED and LM can't see them. I see there's some license code that I missed. The docs say "To use the listed scanners without limitations into the ekey FSX app you require to get the license code for each scanner.". What are those limitations? Who issues that license code and do I need it to run the scanners "with limitations"?

Hi, The scanner without the license code (or activation code) are fully functional except with the one restiction – the app in case of reaction from the scanner (like positive recognised fingerprint) don’t perform the actions on the selected knx datagroup objects.  But only 3 months after the scanner production date this restriction enters into force.
You need to check if the scanners are connected with the correct wiring order to RS485 port.  With the correct wiring the app will automatically find the RS-485 port.
As an alternative you can change the ports manually in the tab “Scanners” configuration data block from the separate service link:

Thank you. Seems it should be communication issue then.

If I understood it right, basically the scanners are unusable without this code? Because the whole idea is to trigger an action on finger scan. Or I'm missing something?

What is the idea with these codes? Do they cost additional fee? One-time fee or annual? How can I get a code? Is this the same case when using the old LuaEkey and Scada-Ekey packages?

Thank you.
