Multiple Readers

If your installation includes multiple Veri-Series readers that are used by a

common population of users, you will need to distribute the fingerprint template of

each user to all the readers.

Note: It is recommended that you designate one

Bioscrypt Unit as the “administration reader” and

enroll all new users on this unit.

After a new user is enrolled on the administration unit, the template can be copied

to the other readers. If the units are networked, you can broadcast the new

template to the other readers over the RS-485 lines using the VeriAdmin

Management Software. If the readers are not interconnected, a laptop can be

used to download the templates from the administration reader and then

uploaded to each reader through its Aux Port.

Backing-Up Templates

Templates can be “backed-up” by downloading them to a PC. On the PC, template

files are of the type “.tem” for 1:1 verification templates used with the VeriProx /

VeriFlex / V-Smart and “.mtm.” for the larger searching templates used with a V-

PASS (see Appendix C). The name of the file is derived from the Template ID

Number and the Template Index Number. For example, the first file (1_4.tem) in

Figure 8 below is of Template ID 1 and Template Index 4 (referred to as Template

1 4).

NOTE: when the template is uploaded from the PC to a Veri-Series reader, the

Template ID Number and Index Number is taken from data within the file, not from

the file name. Therefore, even if you change the name of the file on your PC, the
