Connect Supported ZKTeco Attendance Terminals to Your Staff Roster
Receive compatible ATTLOG punches from supported ZKTeco terminals using ADMS push, then compare employee clock-ins with scheduled shifts in Simple Roster Plus.
Register the terminal, match device user IDs to staff, and review punches beside the weekly roster.
Map unmatched terminal user IDs to employees so punches attach to the right person.
Recover exceptions
Retain and Recover Unmatched Punches
If a terminal user is not mapped yet, Simple Roster Plus keeps the punch instead of dropping it.
Retain unknown users
Unmatched device punches stay available for review with the terminal user ID preserved.
Map when ready
Link the terminal user ID to an employee when you know who it belongs to.
Backfill earlier punches
After mapping, prior unmatched punches for that user can attach to the employee.
Terminal setup
What Must Be Configured on the Terminal
Setup is guided, not zero-configuration. Managers register the device in Simple Roster Plus, then enter Cloud Server / ADMS settings on the terminal.
Older firmware may require full push and poll URLs instead of a server address alone. The Add Device checklist shows both styles.
1Register the terminal serial in Simple Roster Plus and assign it to a location.
2Set the public HTTPS server address the device can reach.
3Use port 443 and enable HTTPS.
4Enable ATTLOG or real-time attendance upload. Do not rely on OPERLOG-only.
5Match terminal user IDs to employee device user IDs.
Honest boundaries
Compatibility Boundaries and Limitations
Buy with clear expectations. Simple Roster Plus supports selected ADMS-capable terminals that send compatible ATTLOG—not every ZKTeco product or connection method.
Supported today
ADMS push over HTTPS, compatible ATTLOG ingest, serial registration, staff matching, unmatched recovery, and roster-connected attendance review.
Not included
Pull TCP, LAN SDK, Windows agent, BioTime, ZKBio, biometric template storage, automatic discovery, remote device commands, or staff enrolment push to terminals.
Privacy boundary
Simple Roster Plus stores attendance punch events and staff identifiers, not fingerprint or face templates. Devices are recognized by registered serial number and can be disabled.
Setup guidance is based on ADMS Cloud Server settings commonly used by terminals such as the F22 family. Confirm your exact model and firmware can send compatible ATTLOG records to a cloud server.

FAQ
Common Questions about ZKTeco Integration
Straight answers based on the current product—not a hardware catalog.
Which connection method is supported?
ADMS push. Supported terminals connect outbound to Simple Roster Plus over HTTPS on port 443 and send punches to public /iclock/* endpoints.
Does it support pull TCP?
No. Pull TCP, LAN SDK, and Windows-agent sync are not available in the cloud product.
Which ZKTeco models are supported?
Selected ADMS-capable terminals that send compatible ATTLOG. Compatibility depends on the terminal model, firmware, and configuration. There is no certified all-model list.
Is F22 supported?
Setup guidance is based on ADMS Cloud Server settings commonly used by terminals such as the F22 family. Confirm your exact model and firmware can send compatible ATTLOG records to a cloud server.
What terminal settings are required?
Register the serial in Simple Roster Plus, set the public HTTPS server address, use port 443, enable HTTPS, turn on ATTLOG or real-time attendance upload, and match terminal user IDs to employee device user IDs. Older firmware may need full push and poll URLs.
How are users matched to staff?
The terminal enrolment / user ID must match the employee’s device user ID at the device’s location. Matching is not automatic without that setup.
What happens to unmatched punches?
Unmatched punches are retained. When you map the terminal user to an employee, earlier unmatched punches for that user can backfill.
Is attendance real time?
Supported terminals can push punches promptly when ATTLOG / real-time upload is configured. The manager view is not a guaranteed live-streaming dashboard and may require a refresh.
Does Simple Roster Plus store fingerprints or face templates?
No. Simple Roster Plus stores attendance punch events and staff identifiers, not fingerprint or face templates.
Is hardware included?
No. Device slots provide software connectivity. Biometric hardware is not included.
Does it work with BioTime or ZKBio?
No. There is no BioTime or ZKBio integration in Simple Roster Plus.
What are the device limits by plan?
Free includes 1 device slot with a 30-day live sync trial. Plus includes 1 device. Pro includes 3 devices. Extra devices are available as paid add-ons where supported.
