The Setup Screen
The Setup Menu allows all the setting for the system to be set, each section of the screen is explained below.
1. Camera Setup allows the set-up of a camera on the computer. The Device Type can be set to USB (for Web Cams) and Ethernet for cameras attached to the computer via the network. If the Camera is set up as an Ethernet Camera an extra set of options is shown below the Device Type, these can be seen below.
The Camera URI is the address of the camera, this could be an IP address or an internet address. The username and password are the credentials required to access the resource.

The Port for the device can be found in the Device Manager -> Ports
The Device will be listed below the Ports section of Device Manager and the COM port will be listed in brackets next to it. This port number should be selected from the drop down list.
The setting for Speed, Parity, Data Bits and Stop Bits are specific to the scanning device that is installed on the computer. These settings should be available from the manufacturer of the scanning device. The default settings (Speed-9600, Parity-None, Data Bits-8, Stop Bits-1) will however work for most devices.
The Door Control settings are similar to that of the scanner and appropriate port can be found under the Port settings in Device Manager. The duration specifies how long the opening control will remain open before locking again. This should be set to a value that allows a customer to swipe their access card and make it through the access gate comfortably.

5. The SportBooker settings allow the system to ‘log in’ to SportsBooker to access the information required. The API URI will be the same URI that you enter into the URL in a browser to access SportsBooker with ‘/webservice’ at the end. The Username and Password will have been provided to you when SportsBooker was originally set up.

If the settings are correct a white tick is show on the right hand side of the button, if they are incorrect a red cross is displayed.

Auto Attendance Minutes is the time period in which MemberChecker book a member in to classes booked in Sport Booker. The system also allows for members to be up to 15 minutes late so adds this to the time period for marking classes as attended. If Auto Attendance Minutes is set to 120 minutes the system marks the member in to any classes that fall in between now (minus 15 minutes for the lateness allowance) and 120 minutes from now. So If Member A has two classes today at 1pm and 2:30pm and swipe their membership card at 12:45pm, the system will mark both classes as attended as both of these classes fall between 12:30pm (the swiped in time minus 15 minutes lateness allowance) and 2:45pm (The swiped time plus the 120 minutes Auto Attendance Minutes)
