Anviz: How to Import and Export Users Using a USB Flash Drive

Introduction

You can transfer user information between an Anviz biometric device and CrossChex Standard using a USB flash drive. This guide explains how to export users from either source and import them into the other.

Requirements

  • An Anviz biometric device (the Anviz C2 Pro is used in this guide).

  • A USB flash drive. A 4 GB drive is used in this example. Drives smaller than 16 GB may be compatible. Kingston and SanDisk are examples of brands that may work.

  • A computer with CrossChex Standard installed, if you are transferring users to or from the software.

Important: Make sure the USB flash drive contains the exported user data before attempting to import it.

Important Notes

  • Use a USB flash drive that is compatible with your Anviz device. The original guide recommends trying a drive smaller than 16 GB.

  • Make sure the correct exported user data is available on the USB flash drive before starting an import or restore operation.

  • Menu names and available options may vary depending on the device model or software version.

  • The default credentials listed in this guide are taken from the original document. For security, change default passwords where applicable and use authorized administrator credentials.

  • The original guide does not specify the default CrossChex Standard password or explain whether importing users will overwrite existing records. Confirm these details before proceeding if existing user data must be preserved.
