Set Enable=1 to enable F8/F18 support, required zkemkeeper.DLL and group of supporting DLL files.

Master unit is the unit where all the finger templates are registered and downloaded to PC.
Based on that, the templates are to be installed to the rest of the controllers.
CTRL001 represent the Controller Tag Name.

(2) Select Finger print Algorithm
[ZKFP]
Alg10=0

Finger print Algorithm, either 9 or 10. Typically F18 uses 10, and older model F8 uses 9.

(3) Differentiate F8/F18 to be Entry/Exit controller
[ZKFP]
EvenUnitAsExit=1

Set this if F8/F18 are used as Entry/Exit controller at a same door.
Set the exit reader unit number as even number (e.g. 6), next to unit number used in entry reader (e.g 5).

(4) Communication failed if more than 40 controllers
[ZKFP]
SingleInst=1

Enforce single socket connection to F8/F18 controllers.
Default parallel sockets failed once more than 40 controllers is added.

(5) User Finger OR Card Authentication
[ZKFP]
FingerORCard=1

Default has no such option, thus if Finger OR card Option is required, set this flag.

(6) New F18 cannot communicate with software
[ZKFP]
F18Ext=1

F18 Extension, this is required as there is a change in the inner working of F18 models, which caused new units not compatible with old units.
The setting is a work around.
no such option, thus if Finger OR card Option is required, set this flag.

(7) Missing Data issue
[Options]
polldelaySec=2

[ZKFP]
BlockIfPoll=1

ZK F18 will be blocked from finger registration when PC is polling F18.
Therefore, it is advisable to slow down PC polling if the option is in use.

This option will prevent unlikely event of missing data.
