eSSL biometric device integration

MyGymDesk connects eSSL biometric devices over the cloud with no PC required: register the device serial number, then point the device to bio.mygymdesk.in in its ADMS Cloud Server setting and punches sync within seconds. Attendance is captured automatically, and on supported firmware expired members are blocked at the device. Available on the Growth and Pro plans.

What you can do with it

Hands-free attendance capture

Members punch their fingerprint, face or card at the eSSL device and MyGymDesk records the check-in automatically — the next punch closes it out as a check-out with duration, so staff never log visits by hand.

Expiry-based access control on supported devices

When a membership expires, freezes or is cancelled, MyGymDesk pushes an updated validity window to the device over ADMS, so on firmware that supports the expiry rule the member is blocked at the door — and every blocked attempt raises an access alert.

Staff time and attendance on the same device

Map staff to device User IDs and their punches record check-in, check-out and hours worked, kept separate from membership checks.

No-PC setup for small gyms

Attendance and expiry access run through the cloud ADMS channel, so a gym only needs the eSSL device and internet — no always-on Windows PC. Register the serial and set the device’s server to bio.mygymdesk.in.

Multi-branch device fleet

Each device is tied to a location and shows live online/offline status and today’s punch count, so multi-location owners watch every branch’s reader from one screen.

How to set it up

1Open Settings → Integrations → the Biometric tab.
2On the Devices tab, click ‘Add Device’ and enter the device serial number, a name, the location, and optionally the model (e.g. eSSL F22).
3Follow the on-screen dialog on the physical device: Menu → Comm. → Cloud Server Setting, set Server Mode = ADMS, Enable Domain Name = ON, and Server Address = bio.mygymdesk.in. The device then pushes data automatically — no PC needed.
4Add the member in MyGymDesk — their biometric User ID is assigned automatically and MyGymDesk creates the user on the device for you. Open the member, go to Biometric enrolment, tap a fingerprint or face slot, and they present their finger at the reader. Staff and palm are enrolled at the device by editing the user MyGymDesk already put there — never by adding a new one.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a computer running all the time?

No. For attendance capture and expiry-based access control, MyGymDesk uses the device’s cloud ADMS channel — you only need the eSSL device and internet. Point it to bio.mygymdesk.in and it pushes data on its own.

Which eSSL devices are supported?

ADMS-capable eSSL readers, with the eSSL F22 as the verified reference model; other eSSL and ZKTeco ADMS devices generally work too. If your exact model isn’t listed, MyGymDesk asks you to raise a support ticket with the brand, model and serial number.

Does MyGymDesk enrol fingerprints?

Yes, for members. MyGymDesk assigns the biometric User ID and creates the person on the device, then you start enrolment from the member’s profile and they present their finger at the reader — nothing is typed on the device. Face works the same way on models that support remote capture. Staff and palm are enrolled at the device, by editing the user MyGymDesk already put there. Member Mapping exists for people already enrolled on a device before MyGymDesk.

Can MyGymDesk automatically stop expired members from entering?

On devices whose firmware supports the ADMS expiry rule, yes — MyGymDesk pushes the validity window so the person is blocked at the door and re-enabled on renewal. Older firmware that can’t enforce expiry is flagged in the dashboard, and MyGymDesk still logs and alerts on every blocked punch.
