BioEntry Smart/Pass BioEntry Installation Guide 18

simplifies user management process and improves overall security, as the

biometric data are physically isolated from the BioEntry, protecting them against

possible vandalism. Moreover, as the user management process does not rely on

network installation, total cost for installation is minimized.

3.2. Adding BioEntry to existing access control system

Access control systems using Wiegand readers for user identification can be

upgraded by adding BioEntry Pass in between Wiegand reader and access

controller for improved security over legacy proximity card only based

identification. The BioEntry Pass is configured to work in 1:1 matching mode.

In this mode, user identification is performed in the following order:

l The user places the proximity card on the Wiegand reader to initiate the

identification process.

l The Wiegand reader passes the user’s ID to the BioEntry Pass through

Wiegand port.

l The BioEntry Pass captures the user’s fingerprint, and performs 1:1 matching

with the user’s fingerprint template data stored in the flash memory.

l If the captured fingerprint and the one stored in the flash memory match, the

BioEntry Pass sends the user’s ID to the access controller as if it were a

Wiegand reader.

l The access controller process the user ID for further authentication.
