If you have been using one of our MS-DOS programs (either HandNet or
HandNet+), Convert HandNet+... on the File menu lets you import your users so
you do not have to enter and enroll them again. This option brings in each user's
name, ID number, authority level, and reject threshold.
If you have been using an older Version of HandNet for Windows, you do not
need to do anything to convert that information.
1. If you have been using HandNet rather than HandNet Plus, follow the steps
below to convert your user information from HandNet to HandNet Plus
format.
2. Pick Convert HandNet+ from the File menu.
3. If you have installed HandNet+ somewhere other than in C:\HNET, click the
Browse button and go to the directory where HandNet+ is installed. Then
click the Open button.
4. Click the Convert button. The HandNet+ database is converted to HandNet
for Windows™ format.
5. This con Version does not bring in the access profiles for the users, so when
this is done you must assign an access profile to each user on the Security
tab in User Properties.
If your DOS Version of HandNet is in the standard /HNETdirectory: Press
F1 while in HandNet to pop up the help. In the index, type convert and open
the topic on converting HandNet+ information. In this topic there is a button
that automatically does this process for you.
If your DOS Version of HandNet is NOT in the standard /HNET directory:
1. Copy the convert.exe file from the HandNet for Windows directory to
the directory the MS-DOS Version of HandNet is located. The standard
location for HandNet for Windows is C:\Program Files\Schlage Biometrics,
Inc.\HandNet for Windows. For example, to copy the convert file from this
directory to c:\hnet, you would type:
copy c:\progra~1\recogn~1\handne~1\convert.exe c:\hnet\
2. Switch to the directory the MS-DOS Version of HandNet is in. For
example, to switch to the \hnet directory, you would type cd\hnet and
press ENTER.
3. Make a backup copy of the file that contains your user information. This
file is called id_dbase.dat. For example, you might type:
copy id_dbase.dat id_dabase.bak
4. Type convert and press ENTER. This should convert the information to
HandNet Plus format. Once you have done this, you are ready to import
the information into HandNet for Windows using the steps described
above.
