Getting Started
1.1.
Outline
14
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
Copyright © 2006, 2007 by Suprema Inc.
http://www.supremainc.com
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.

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

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 serverclient 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 Server is designed only for BioStation. Therefore, you can not use the
BioEntry or BEACon as the server-client application.
This chapter describes the installation and operation of BioAdmin Server and
BioAdmin Client programs.
1.4.1.
How to install BioAdmin Server

Function key
Function key is to input T&A event before fingerprint input for T&A control such as
in, out, in duty or out duty. In BioStation, usually, function keys from F1 to F4 are
used and if necessary, it can be increased up to 16 keys. Pressing function key on
BioStation first and then enter fingerprint to record applicable T&A even in a log. In
the future T&A SOFTWARE, this log information can be used for various T&A and
salary control data.
In respect of function key in BioAdmin software, reference needs to be made to all
explanations on T&A event rule in both device management menu and report
menu.
Function key setting in device management menu is to set T&A event message
shown on BioStation display whereas T&A key setting in repot menu is to set T&A
event message applied when creating T&A report. In BioStation log, actual T&A
event message is not recorded but the number of pressed T&A key is recorded.
BioAdmin reads this value, refers to the table between previously defined function
key and T&A event and generates suitable T&A report. Thus, function key set in
this chapter doesn’t show in an actual BioAdmin report or upon log check.

ƒ 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.
ƒ 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.

‚ (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.
ƒ 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.

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.

BioEntry device is connected to the controller by ABA Track II output, not by
Wiegand interface, you should check Use ABA Track II. In that case, the output
signal will be in ABA Track II format. You can also specify the number of
characters for ABA Track II output.
ƒ 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.
ƒ 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.

‚ (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.
ƒ 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.

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
BioEntry™ device will replace corresponding fields with these values before
sending outputs.
z Advanced options
You can specify the characteristics of Wiegand signal and the advanced options
in the last page of the wizard. Advanced options are not available for Pass

ƒ Whenever you change the encryption key, you need to apply the new
encryption key for each of the connected BioStation. Also, you need to do
so whenever you add a new BioStation to the network. Because encryption
process will remove the existing user’s templates on BioStation, you need
to transfer the user’s templates to the BioStation after finishing the
encryption.
ƒ When you use the encryption function, It is highly recommended to change
the encryption key.
ƒ Encryption key should be less than 31 digits.
ƒ If the encryption is interrupted by a network error or by power failure, restart
the BioAdmin program. Then, BioAdmin will automatically transfer the
encryption setting to the remaining BioStation devices.
ƒ You should be very careful in using the encryption function. If you are set
different encryption key among BioStation devices, you may not be able to
use the user’s template compatibly among those devices.
ƒ If the encryption key on host PC is different from that of BioStation, or if only
either of host PC and BioStation is using the encryption option, following
warning message will appear whenever such device is found on the
network. If you press No, such BioStation devices will be disconnected
from the network.
