BioAdmin User Manual 14

1. Getting Started

1.1. Outline

This manual illustrates how to use BioAdmin software. BioAdmin is a PC Windows

software for the control and management of Suprema’s BioEntry, BioStation and

BEACon products. BioAdmin includes various functions needed for a host station

for applications of access control and time & attendance using these devices.

For proper hardware connection, please refer to BioEntry Installation manual and

BioStation Installation manual.

There are two approaches in managing BioEntry and BioStation. :

z Using BioAdmin program which is the management software running on

Windows based PC platforms. This manual is mainly focused on operating

BioEntry and BioStation using BioAdmin software.

z Integrating the management functionality into customer’s application software

using SDK which contains versatile API’s to control BioEntry and BioStation. For

further information, please refer to SFM SDK Reference Manual, BioStation

SDK manual, and UniFinger Engine SDK Reference Manual.

1.2. Fundamentals

This chapter provides introductive information on BioEntry, BioStation, and

BioAdmin including basic concepts, operation flow, and overview of the software.

1.2.1. Finger scan device

Fingerprint access device is a device to authenticate the identity of each person

using fingerprints. It can be easily integrated into access control system by

connecting with access control panel through industry standard interface such as

Wiegand interface. Since fingerprints contain biometric features which are unique

for each person, fingerprint access device can be substituted for existing access

devices, such as barcode, magnetic card, keypad, or RF card devices, with high

security and efficiency.

1.2.2. Finger scan smart card device

Fingerprint smart card device is an advanced model of fingerprint access device

BioAdmin User Manual 15

which improves security of the system by integrating smart card technology.

Fingerprint data for each person is stored on user’s smart card and the device

authenticates the user by comparing the stored fingerprint data in the smart card

with the input fingerprint data.

1.2.3. Template

A template is the binary data representing the features of each fingerprint. The

fingerprint image acquired from a fingerprint sensor is converted to a template,

which is stored on the memory of the fingerprint access device or on user’s smart

card. In authenticating a user, a new template is also generated and compared

with the stored templates.

1.2.4. Enrollment

Enrollment is the process to store the fingerprint template with user information.

Through enrollment process, new users are entered into the system.

1.2.5. Verification

Verification is the process of authenticating an input fingerprint with the fingerprint of

the specified user. On BioEntry Smart, a user places smart card containing

personal fingerprint template and user information. Then, the device carries out

verification process by scanning an input fingerprint. On BioEntry Pass, verification

process can be implemented by connecting external Wiegand device, such as RF

card device, which provides the current user ID.

1.2.6. Identification

Identification is the process of searching a matched fingerprint among the stored

fingerprints on the device. BioEntry Pass and BioStation basically operate in

identification mode, which requires no additional input except the placement of a

finger.

1.2.7. User database

User database includes user ID, user name, fingerprint templates, and so on.

BioAdmin software is based on the central management of user database. That is,

the user database is created, updated, and stored on the host PC. Then, it is

selectively distributed to the BioEntry and BioStation connected on the network

using transfer menu.

BioAdmin User Manual 16

1.2.8. Transfer

Transfer to Device is used to transfer the user database of the host PC to BioEntry

and BioStation. The user information such as User ID, templates, access group,

and security level is transferred by this process.

Detailed operations are as follows.

z Enroll new users on BioEntry and BioStation

z Replace inconsistent templates on BioEntry and BioStation

z Delete templates of unknown users or de-selected users on BioEntry and

BioStation

Transfer from Device is used to upload the user formation from BioEntry and

BioStation to the database of host PC. The user information such as User ID,

Template Number, Number of Access Group, and Security Level can be uploaded

by this process.

1.2.9. Site key for smartcard

Site key is a password for smart card to ensure that an authorized card should be

used for a specific installation. 48 bit key is used in BioEntry Smart allowing 0 to

281374976710655 (0xFFFFFFFFFFFF). For proper operation, the same key

should be configured on BioEntry Smart and user’s smart card.

1.3. How to place a finger

1.3.1. Select a finger to enroll

(1) It is recommended to use an index finger or a middle finger.

(2) Thumb, ring or little finger is relatively more difficult to place in a correct position.

1.3.2. How to place a finger on a sensor

(1) Place a finger as it completely covers the sensor with maximum contact.

(2) It is better to place the core part of a fingerprint to the center of a sensor.

 People usually tend to place only the top end of a finger

 Where is the core (center) of a fingerprint?

 A peak where spirals of fingerprint ridges are dense

 Usually opposite to lower part of a nail

 It is recommended to place a finger as the lower part of a nail is located at the

center of a sensor

BioAdmin User Manual 17

(3) If a finger is placed as in the right picture, only a small area of a finger is

captured. So it is recommended to place a finger as in the left picture.

1.3.3. Tips for different finger conditions

Suprema’s fingerprint products are designed to scan fingerprint smoothly

regardless of the conditions of a finger skin. However, if a fingerprint is difficult to

scan due to other influences, please refer to the followings tips.

(1) If a finger is stained with sweat or water, scan after wiping moisture off

(2) If a finger is covered with dust or impurities, scan after wiping them off

(3) If a finger is way too dry, scan after blowing warm breath on a fingertip.

1.3.4. Advices on fingerprint enrollment

(1) In fingerprint recognition, enrollment process is very important. Therefore,

when enrolling a fingerprint, please try to place a finger correctly with care.

(2) In case of low acceptance ratio, the following actions are recommended.

 Delete enrolled fingerprints and re-enroll the fingers.

 Enroll the same finger additionally

 Try with another finger if a finger is not easy to enroll due to scar or worn-

out.

(3) For the case when an enrolled fingerprint can’t be used due to scar or

holding a baggage, it is recommended to enroll more than two fingers.

1.4. Concept of BioAdmin 4.1

BioAdmin 4.1 is operated as server-client application so that users can operate the

BioAdmin Client program from multiple host PCs at the same time. If the users

connect BioStation to the BioAdmin Server, logs from the BioStation will be

automatically stored on the database of BioAdmin Server real-time. In this server-

client application, BioAdmin Client is used as the user interface to manage the data.

If the user does not connect the BioStation to the BioAdmin Server, logs will not be

BioAdmin User Manual 18

z Wiegand Format

New Wiegand format can be configured graphically using the Wiegand

Configuration wizard. The Wiegand Configuration wizard will be shown by

pressing the Change format button.

z Select format

You should select one of the three supported formats in the first page.

BioAdmin User Manual 165

 26 bit standard

The 26 bit standard format is most widely used and consists of 8 bit FC code and

16 bit ID. You cannot change the bit definition and the parity bits in 26 bit standard

format.

 Pass Through format

Pass Through format is used when only the format of ID field is known. When the

Wiegand input string is detected, BioEntry device extracts ID bits and starts

verification with the ID. If the verification succeeds, the device outputs the Wiegand

input string as unchanged. Parity check and advanced options are ignored in this

format. By definition, Pass Through format is only useful when the operation mode

is 1:1. If the mode is 1:N, the bits other than ID field are set to 0.

For example, assume that 32 bit Pass Through format is composed as follows:

XIIIIIII IIIIIIIX XXXIIIII IIIIIIIX (left most bit is 0th bit, BIT0)

I: Id field, X: Unknown field

You can configure this format in the following sequences.

BioAdmin User Manual 166

 (1) Enter 32 in the Total Bits field.

 (2) Select ID bits according to the definitions.

 (3) Press Next. You cannot specify parity bits in Pass Through mode.

 Custom format

When users know all the information of a Wiegand format, Custom format can be

defined. When a Wiegand input string is detected, BioEntry device checks the parity

bits first. If all the parity bits are correct, the device extracts ID bits and starts

verification with the ID. Users can also set alternative values of each field and

enable advanced options such as Fail ID. If the verification succeeds, the device

outputs a Wiegand string. The output string may be different from the input string

according to the alternative values and advanced options.

For example, assume that 44 bit Custom format is composed as follows:

EAAAAAAA IIIIIIII IIIIIIII BBBBBBBI IIIIIIII IIIO

(left most bit is 0th bit, BIT0)

E: Even parity for BIT1 ~ BIT22

O: Odd parity for BIT23 ~ BIT42

I: ID bits(Field1 and Field 3), A: Field 0, B: Field 2

You can configure this format in the following sequences.

BioAdmin User Manual 167

 Enter 44 in the Total Bits field.

 Select Even Parity.

 Press the even parity bit. In this example, it is BIT0.

 Select Odd Parity and press the odd parity bit and User ID according to the

definition.

 Press Next.

 Press the bits which are used in calculating the first parity bit. In this example, they

are BIT1 ~ BIT22

 Press >>.

 Press the bits which are used in calculating the second parity bit. In this example,

they are BIT23~ BIT42.

 Press Next.

BioAdmin User Manual 168

z Alternative values

In 26 bit standard you can specify alternative FC code. In Custom format, you

can specify alternative values for non-ID field. If alternative values are set, the

user fingerprint.

 1:N identification : in 1:N mode, finger scan (authentication) is done with

user’s fingerprint only. As device sensor is always on input standby mode,

1:N scan starts right away once a finger is placed on.

 Both : Both 1:1 verification and 1:N identification are supported.

BioAdmin User Manual 175

z Baud rate

Baud rate is the number of times per second that the carrier signal value

changes state. If you have some problems to communicate with BioEntry or

with BioStation, changing baud rate to lower value can be a solution.

z Image Quality

When a fingerprint is scanned, the module will check if the quality of the image

is adequate for further processing. The image quality parameter specifies the

strictness of this quality check.

z Security Level

Security level specifies FAR(False Acceptance Ratio). If it is set to 1/100,000, it

means that the probability of accepting false fingerprints is 1/100,000. Since

FAR and FRR(False Rejection Ratio) is in inverse proportion to each other,

FRR will increase with higher security levels. Default value is Auto Normal.

z Scan Timeout

Scan Timeout specifies the timeout period for user input. If a user does not

make his/her finger scanned, place smartcard, or input Wiegand during this

period, error will be returned.

z Sensitivity

Sensitivity specifies sensor sensitivity to detect a finger. On high sensitivity, the

module will accept the finger input more easily. In other hand, by decreasing the

sensitivity, the input fingerprint image will be more stabilized. In case of optical

models, sensitivity to sunlight is also alleviated by decreasing sensitivity

parameter. Default value is 7.

z Fast Mode

When more than hundreds of templates are stored in BioEntry, the matching

time for 1:N identification can be very long. Fast Mode parameter can be used

to shorten the 1:N matching time with little degradation of authentication

performance. The security level – FAR – is not affected by this parameter, but

the FRR can be a bit higher than in normal mode. In typical cases, Fast Mode 1

is as 2 ~ 3 times faster than Normal mode. And Fast Mode 5 is 6 ~ 7 times

faster than Normal mode. Default value is 0.

z Matching Timeout

Timeout period for 1:N matching. If identification process is not finished during

this period, error will be returned.

z Configuration of output port

In configuring output port, multiple functions can be programmed to produce

different output pattern on each event. Event means when to activate the output

port and output pattern defines how to activate the output port, respectively.

Programming procedure is as follows:

 Enable required event by selecting event from disabled event.

 Program output pattern by editing delay, high, low, and count values.

z Output events

Event Description ( when to activate the output port )

Enroll Success When a user is successfully enrolled on the device

Enroll Fail When enrollment fails

Identify Success When identification is successfully done

Identify Fail When the device fails to find out the matched user

BioAdmin User Manual 179

Verify Success When verification is successfully done

Verify Fail When the user is not verified

Delete Success When deletion of user succeeds

Identify Not Granted Identification is successfully done, but entrance denied

Verify Not Granted Verification is successfully done, but entrance denied

Delete Fail When deletion of user fails

Verify Duress When duress finger is verified

Identify Duress When identified finger is a duress finger

Temper Switch On When temper switch on the device is enabled implying

device is opened.

Command Card Success When command card operation successfully completed

Command Card Fail When command card operation is failed

Controller Reject When input port on which Controller Reject function is

assigned, is activated

Controller Accept When input port on which Controller Accept function is

assigned, is activated

Detect Input 0 When input port 0 is activated regardless of assigned

function

Detect Input 1 When input port 1 is activated regardless of assigned

function

z Describing output pattern

On each enabled event, output pattern can be flexibly described by

programming using 4 parameters whose meanings are depicted as

BioAdmin User Manual 180

Parameter Meaning Allowed value

Delay initial delay before generating output

pulses in msec

0 ~ 65535

High duration duration of pulse in high state in msec 0 ~ 65534

65535 : continuously

active until new output

event occurs

Low duration interval between consecutive pulses

where the output signal remains low

0 ~ 65535

Count Number of pulses 0 : infinitely repeated

until new output event

occurs

1 ~ 255

 Programming example of output pattern

Assume that a user want to assign an alarm signal at output port 0 generating

following patterns:

 On identification success or verification success for duress finger, the device

sends blinking output during 5 seconds.

 When temper switch is on, the device sends steady output during 10 seconds.

 Programming procedure is as follows:

 First, select a target device on the network window.

 Disable currently selected events on output 0 by moving enabled ones to the

disabled sector.

 Program the required events by enabling each event followed by editing output

pattern parameters as follows:

Event to be enabled Output pattern parameters

Verify Duress Delay : 0

High : 500

Low : 500

Count : 5
