Go to My computer > click at Map network drive > Specify the drive for the connection >
Browse the location of the FingerTec Data Processor folder > Click the finish button.
 
 
To connect the TCMSV2 with the FTDP database provided that the TCMSV2 is installed at the same PC as the FTDP.
1. Click Devices
2. Double click at FTDP database server management.
3. Type “localhost” at FTDP database server column and select Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) at ODBC driver column.
4. Select the location of the FTDP.mdb file (Example: C:\PROGRAM FILES\FINGERTEC WORLDWIDE\FINGERTEC DATA PROCESSOR\FTDP.mdb) at the database column and click Login.
 
To connect the TCMSV2 with the FTDP database through the map network drive:
