ZKTeco F18

[mtelahun]

I've used this library with various ZKTeco devices. So far it has worked for all of them, but I recently bought an F18 device and when I try to test it:

 ./test_machine.py -a 192.168.1.201 -p 4370 -b

if fails with

zk.exception.ZKNetworkError: timed out

I've seen reports by other people who have gotten it to work and it is listed here as working with pyzk, so why isn't it working for me?
Do you have any suggestions on how to debug the issue?

Check the firmware version of your device, newer versions do not work for me too >=2022

Same device as yours, works with old firmware and fails with newer

I'm encountering the same issue when trying to run it for ZKTeco F18 device. I have a 2024 model I've also tired using node js and got the same error. It connects with the ZKTeco BioSecurity software but not with any backend code. It will be really helpful if someone is able to find a solution.
