Please read the entire installation file once and start installing.
 Starting the application

The entire application comes in two modules. The first module is responsible to read
the information from the rfid kit. The second module is the web application which is
used to enter the employee details and monitor employees.

Open the web browse (for best results use internet explorer 6+)

In the address bar type http://localhost:8080/SwipeCardApp

Then a web page is displayed asking you to enter the Id and password.

The default user id is krishna. The default password is krishna.

Please enter these details and select ADMINISTRATOR and click SUBMIT button.
If the user id or password is entered wrong then a message appears saying that user id
or password not valid.

Once you have entered the correct user id and password you will be redirected to the
home page. Once you get signed in you can change your default user id and password.
The home page looks some thing like this.

You have been provided with some links to perform your activities. Let us discuss
them in brief now.
Change password: this link is provided in an image. The image is present in the top
right corner. It looks some thing like this:

Please read the entire installation file once and start installing.
Logout: this link is also provided as an image. It is located beside the change
password image.

Now the company details must be entered first. Without entering the company details
we cant enter the employee details.

First we enter the departments present in the company. Next the roles / positions in
that particular department will be entered. For example the departments name can be
Technical and the role or position in that department can be Programmer.

To enter the departments just click Departments link. Then select New Department.
Then enter the department name. The web page to enter the departments looks some
thing like this:

Then select Positions link. Under that select New Position. Another web page is
displayed some thing like this.

Please read the entire installation file once and start installing.
Select a particular department and enter the position name.

Once you have entered these details you can view the departments and positions in
appropriate links.

Once these details have been entered then the leave details of the company must be
entered. For that task select Employees link. Under that select Leaves link. Then
another web page is displayed some thing like this:

The default values are zero. Set the values and hit submit button.

Please read the entire installation file once and start installing.
Thus you have finished entering the basic information.

Now enter the employee details. This can be done using New Employee link which is
present under Employees link.

Enter the employee basic details and hit submit button. While entering the basic
details the application asks you to enter the employee ID. The ID of the swipe card
issued to the employee must be entered there.

Once the employee basic details have been entered you can start using the rfid kit.

Connect the rfid kit to the serial port.

Now go to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_15\bin. There you can find a batch file

named RFidPro.bat

Execute the batch file. Wait for a while. After few second the batch file will display a
message comx opened for scanning.

Now you can start swiping.

When authorized swipe card is swiped the employee details of the particular swipe
card are displayed in the cmd window.

When an unauthorized card is swiped then an alarm is played to alert the security
guards or the concerned persons.

Note: this RFidPro.bat program must be in execution mode for the whole day. If it is
closed or terminated then employee attendance will not be tracked. This program
must be in execution mode from windows starting to windows shut down. Every day
after windows start up you must go to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_15\bin and
execute RFidPro.bat. This is a slow and tedious process. So create a short cut of this
batch file and move the short cut to windows start up folder. The windows start up
folder is present in C:\Documents and Settings\<your account_name>\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup. Or you can go to start up from start>All
Programs>Startup. Thus every day after the operating system starts up this program
is also started. If in the middle is this program is closed for a while then again go to
start>All Programs>Startup> and click RFidPro.bat.

When ever you want to monitor the employees you can simply start the server which
is located in system tray.

Then connect to http://localhost:8080/SwipeCardApp

Once get connected, you can do the following:
