eSSL & ZKTeco

eSSL and ZKTeco biometric integration for gyms

GymSetora connects eSSL and ZKTeco fingerprint, card and face terminals in ADMS (Cloud Server) push mode, through a small gateway app on a PC or Raspberry Pi at your gym. The gate opens only for members with an active plan and dues within your limit, and keeps working for paid-up members when the internet is down.

How it works

  1. Pair a gateway

    In GymSetora, open Settings → Hardware, pair a gateway for the branch and copy the one-time key.

  2. Install the gateway app

    Install it on an always-on Windows PC, Raspberry Pi or mini-PC on the same network as the terminal.

  3. Switch the terminal to ADMS

    Set the terminal's Cloud Server (ADMS) address to the gateway's address and port, and add its serial number to the gateway.

  4. Test one scan

    Check one live scan and one door unlock on the real terminal before you open the gym.

Why ADMS (Cloud Server) mode?

In ADMS mode the terminal pushes each scan to the GymSetora gateway as it happens. The older pull mode, where software polls the machine over the network, is not supported — check the communication setting on your eSSL or ZKTeco machine before installation.

Only terminals whose serial numbers you list are accepted by the gateway. If the turnstile is driven by an Ethernet relay board, the gateway can open it directly; otherwise the door command reaches the terminal on its next check-in, about two seconds later.

Where are fingerprints stored?

Fingerprint and face templates stay on the terminal. The gateway keeps only member codes, first names, card numbers and pass dates — no phone numbers, photos or fingerprint templates. If the gateway PC is ever lost, rotate the branch key in GymSetora and the old key stops working at once.

What if the internet goes down?

The gateway decides from its local list, so paid-up members keep getting in with their fingerprint, card or face. Every scan is stored and synced when the connection returns, and the exit always opens.

eSSL & ZKTeco: questions owners ask

Does GymSetora work with eSSL fingerprint machines?

Yes. GymSetora works with eSSL and ZKTeco terminals set to ADMS (Cloud Server) push mode, through its gateway app on a PC or Raspberry Pi at the gym. Pull mode is not supported.

Pro+ or add-on

Which eSSL model should I buy?

Choose a terminal that supports ADMS (Cloud Server) push mode, and message GymSetora on WhatsApp with the model before you buy. Command formats differ between firmware versions, so every installation is tested with a live scan and unlock.

Pro+ or add-on

Does GymSetora store members' fingerprints?

No. Fingerprint and face templates stay on the eSSL or ZKTeco terminal. The GymSetora gateway keeps only member codes, first names, card numbers and pass dates.
