C ONCEPTS OF O PERATION

As usual, the serial ports on the host PC are designated as COM1, COM2, etc.

You may connect up to 31 Veri-Series readers to each COM line (using RS-485).

You must provide the Administration Software with the information as to which

Network ID has been assigned to which COM line.

This information is stored in an initialization file that is read by the software on

application startup. The file is labeled “UNITIDS.DAT” and is located at the

following path:

<Install Dir>\UNITIDS.DAT

Where <Install Dir> indicates the directory where the VeriAdmin Management

Software was installed). The default installation path is:

C:\Program Files\BioID\VeriAdmin

Please refer to the Setting up the ID File section on page 29 for details.

In addition the baud rate may be set on each reader. It is essential that the baud

rate used by the PC match the baud rate setting on the reader and that all readers

on the network are set to the same baud rate.

The following settings are the factory defaults:
