Our WeezAccess Pro device (also called WAP) uses the WeezAccess app (free download on the Appstore and Google Play Store) and allows you to control your event tickets using an integrated barcode reader.
When an Internet (Wi-Fi) or 4G connection is available at the event location, the control data is synchronised between the server and each connected device. An automatic update is performed every 30 seconds, allowing WAPs to synchronise with each other. Tickets sold on site using the ticket office and online at the last minute will be recognised by your WAPs.
You can use several devices simultaneously. If the Internet connection is interrupted, you can continue to check the tickets since there is no need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network to scan the tickets. Synchronisation will be done when the connection is available again.

4.1 Validation modes
|
|
Scan mode |
Touch the screen or press the side button to trigger the laser. Place the ticket perpendicular to the device and aim for the centre of the barcode. The distance between the ticket and device must be 5-20 cm. Feel free to get the device closer and further from the ticket for a quicker scan. |
|
|
Entry mode |
Click on “Entry” in the menu at the bottom of the app and enter the barcode number printed on the ticket. Then click on “submit”. The ticket status appears. |
|
|
List mode |
Enter an attendee’s name or the beginning of the name in the search field and click on "Search". Scroll through the list if necessary and click on the corresponding line. Click on “IN” to stamp the ticket when the attendee is looking to get in, or “OUT” if the person is leaving the event. |
4.2 Synchronisation
|
If your WAP is connected to the Internet, synchronisation is automatically done at the frequency you have set in the settings. It is set to 30 seconds by default. You can reduce this time to 5 seconds, however please be aware that it uses more battery. |
|
|
The dot on the bottom left of the screen lets you know about the device’s synchronisation status:

The "exit" mode (OUT) allows you to manage the exit of visitors. You can switch from one to the other. Note that the exit mode is optional.

6. Additional features and options
Auxiliary charger
This charging mode enables you to charge the iPod using the battery of the barcode reader when the iPod’s battery is low. To switch to that battery, go to the WeezAccess app then Advanced settings > auxiliary charge.
Please note: The iPod’s light and bluetooth are energy-consuming apps. If you need a light, we recommend that you use an external light rather than the iPod’s. If it is on, you can turn it off by scrolling down the menu located at the bottom of the screen and clicking on the torch light symbol at the bottom left.
Scanning with USB cable
This option enables you to use the barcode reader while the device is charging.
7. End control
|
When the check is complete, click on "End control" in the bottom right Menu.
|
|
Two scenarios are possible:
- The device is connected to the Internet: click on "Synchronise and close" to update the latest data and close the scanning session.
- The device is not connected to the Internet: log in and repeat the operation. You cannot exit the app without synchronising the scanning data (no risk of data loss). Synchronisation will be done when the connection is available again.
