Access is authorized if the terminal finds a correspondence.

For further information, please see the "Authentication mode" section in the

MorphoAccess® Sigma Series terminal user manual.

Multi-factor mode

In this mode, the "identification" and "authentication" modes are available

simultaneously; the user decides which control method will be used:

 by placing his finger on the sensor, thereby triggering the identification process,

 by placing his contactless card on the reader, thereby triggering the authentication

process,

This is the default mode for terminals fitted with a contactless smartcard reader.

For further information, please see the "Multi-factors method" section in the

MorphoAccess® Sigma Series terminal user manual.

Proxy mode

In this mode, the access rights check process is controlled by an application on a host

system. This application sends commands to the terminal to tell it on how to proceed.

For further information, please see the "Proxy Mode" section in the MorphoAccess®

Sigma Series terminal user manual.

Polling mode

The Proxy mode is an operating mode where the access control main application is

located in a distant system. This is not a standalone mode like Identification and

Authentication modes.

It means that the terminal becomes a slave of the host system application. The

terminal does not have any user data in its database. The access control application is

running on the host system and used MorphoAccess® terminal high level functions:

• Identification function

• Authentication function

• Read data on a contactless card

• Access control result signal command

The MorphoAccess® Sigma Series terminal is driven through an Ethernet (or Wi-Fi™)

link using TCP or SSL protocol.

The MorphoAccess® terminal acts as a server: it is either waiting for a command or

executing a command.

The commands allowed by the MorphoAccess® terminal are described in the

MorphoAccess® Host System Interface Specification document.

For further details about SSL on the MorphoAccess® terminal, please refer to the SSL

Solution for MorphoAccess® documentation.
