By Farman Elahi

I am happy to inform all of you that I am completing exact two years in New Africa Technology Company.

I feel proud to complete two successful years with great satisfaction. First of all I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the New Africa Technology Company management.

I appreciate NATC Management support and working style and feel I have learned a great deal here. NATC consistent guidance helped me to increase my potential at work. NATC show me the path of the bright world, which makes me able to grasp this opportunity in my career. Thanks to NATC I managed to get MTCNA training in August 2018.  

I want to express my deepest gratitude to my managers for believing in me. Management of NATC have been an excellent friend, teacher, mentor and a great inspiration for me. They inspired me to pursue my goals with hard work and dedication. NATC have shown me the value of honesty, sincerity, and trust in business.

The knowledge and wisdom NATC have imparted to me have been a great help and support throughout my career. I believe my success is at least in part due to NATC sincere support and mentorship.

I want to thank you for giving me advice, believing in me, and just being you. You taught me to go after what I want. I set goals and accomplished them. Thank you for your confidence in me. I’m sure management of NATC is going to be pleased with the results. I’m so thankful that I am part of best IT company in Liberia! My bosses not just a leader to me, but you are also an inspiration. Your hard work has been my inspiration since I became your staff. Thank you!

I play a central role in the New Africa Technology Company as an ICT technician. Information & communication technology has is now an integral part of delivering education for everyone. Thanks for promoting me to Head of IT  in 2018.

As an Information and Communications Technician (ICT technician) I worked in the design, development, installation, operation, testing, and problem-solving of hardware and software. I am responsible for first line maintenance of all aspects of ICT equipment and software within the NATC. 

I will forever be grateful for the knowledge and skills that I have gained working under management of NATC. 

Thank you so very much for all of your invaluable assistance and for arranging my annual vacations and my trip back home during 23 December 2018 to 23 January 2019. 

It was wonderful having the opportunity to meet with my sweet family and friends. I think togetherness is a very important ingredient to family life. That's true no amount of money or success can take the place of time spent with family. Thank you so much!

How to install advance fingerprint control with old latch system

Information technology has spread its wings across many facets of life, be it personal, social or professional. Businesses and institutional outfits have become heavily dependent on the smooth functioning of information systems and the network formed by connecting them with each other.

One of our valued customers called us for replacement of the fingerprint access control. The last fingerprint Access control was installed by us about 2 years ago. It has been working well until a power surge blew up the system.  The old biometric lock was controlled by connecting only 05 cables: 

• 2 Red for DC 12v,
• 2 Black for GND, and
• 1 door lock COM connected with latch

Below is a picture of the old device:

The new Biometric Fingerprint Access standalone we were given to install was a Dahua DHI-ASI1212D as seen in the picture below.

This Fingerprint Access has 24 cables and Rj45 Network port. This device should be able to export the signal to the latch after the fingerprint is read to unlock the door. Door sensor will detect on/off state.

If the door is opened by force or improperly closed, the alarm signal will be triggered.  

   

The new Dahua device should normally be used with the below magnet strike:

The client did not provide this item and we were left with the challenge to install the device using the dead locking tubular latch that was used with the older device as shown in the picture below:

Let me explain how it is possible to install and connect an advance Fingerprint Access Standalone using only 05 cables out of 24 and operate and make it work with the dead locking tubular latch.

There are 24 cables coming out of the new Dahua device as follows:

• 3 Red
• 3 Black
• 3 Green
• 3 Blue
• 3 Brown
• 3 Yellow
• 3 Purple
• 3 White 

And there are 5 cables from the old latch and push button switches as follows:

• 2 Red
• 2 Black
• 1 Black and Red

The connections are done in the following 3 simple steps:

1. The 3 Red cables and the COM1 Green cable from the new Dahua are combined together and connected to the 2 Red cables from the latch,
2. The 3 Black cables are combined together and are connected to the 2 Black cables from the latch,
3. The Blue COM 1 cable is connected to the Red and Black cable from the latch.
4. The lock was tested by the customer and it was working well as expected.

One more happy NATC customer.
