This chapter provides an introduction to the V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices, their specifications
and features, and safety guidelines that should be observed when using or handling the devices.
This manual provides step-by-step procedures for installing a Bioscrypt V-Station 4G or V-Flex 4G device. It covers the entire process of physically installing the device, making the necessary power,
ground, and network connections, and registering the device in SecureAdmin. Instructions for field repairs and cleaning are also provided.
1.1. SYMBOLS USEDINTHIS GUIDE
The symbols shown below are used throughout this manual. They denote special issu es the
user might encounter. Their definitions are given below.
DANGER
This symbol denotes a danger condition that may cause death or excessive
damage to property.
WARNING
This symbol denotes a warning condition that may cause severe injury or
major damage to property.
CAUTION
This symbol denotes a cautionary condition that may cause injury or minor
damage to property.
NOTICE
This symbol denotes a situation needing additional advice to avoid incorrect
usage.
Below are safety precautions that should be observed when operating or installing a device.
1.5.1. G
ROUNDING
The device's ground connection must be properly connected to avoid damage by
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD). The effects of ESD can degrade or destroy
semiconductor junctions of an electronic device. Earth Ground (EGND) is a lowimpedance path to earth for the purpose of discharging lightning, static, and radiated
energy, and for maintaining the main service entrance at earth potential. Consult your
local electrical codes for guidelines.
1.5.2. E
LECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE
Bioscrypt recommends that Administrators inform Users of these points during the
enrollment process:
• Always use the Ridge-Lock to position a finger before touching the sensor.
• Always stand on the ESD-dissipative floor covering (if installed).
• Do not touch other people or objects when touching the sensor.
• Always maintain at least 12 inches of space around yourself when touching the
sensor.
• Do not allow articles of clothing to touch the sensor.
Bioscrypt recommends that Installers always follow these points (in addition to the
points listed above):
• When installing or working on a unit, always use a grounding wrist-strap that is
connected to a quality Earth ground.
• Check the device's cabling for ground faults.
• Ensure that the device's ground connection (located on the rear of the device) is
connected to a quality Earth Ground.
1.5.3. D
Do not install the device in locations where the device would be exposed to direct
sunlight, high levels of relative humidity, particulate matter, or flammable vapors.
Do not install the device near radiators or other heat sources.
Do not allow magnetic objects to come within close proximity to the device. Strong
magnetic fields might damage the device.
Do not let liquids contact the device.
Do not attempt to alter the device for any reason. Modifications will void the product
guarantee.
Do not attempt to disassemble the device in any way beyond what is necessary for
sensor field replacement.
Do not use the device for any purpose other than for what it was designed.
Do not plug any equipment into the USB port other than flash memory devices.
Do not allow users to place or hang objects on the device, such as coffee cup s or
purses.
Do clean the device regularly to remove dust, grime, and fingerprint residue.
Do instruct users how to present a fingerprint correctly.
This chapter details how to plan a successful installation, recommended steps, and explains the
hardware and software components of typical setup scenarios.

2. Planning the Installation ..................................................................................................................... 2-2
2.1. Recommended Steps for a Successful Installation ........................................................... 2-3
Planning the installation is the single most important aspect of a successful installation. In general, you
need to consider the access controller, the door locks, the devices, and the need for a network. By the
time you are ready to install the system, all of the details presented in the list below should be known.
Take a moment to go through them now before starting your installation.
During the planning phase, you should determine:
• What type of authentication is required for your application?
• How many doors need to be secured?
• What type of device will be on each door? Doors already inside a secure area might not need the
same type or level of security.
• If multiple V-Series 4G devices require networking for template distribution/management, then a
dedicated PC is recommended to administer the system, as well as an RS-485 to RS-232
converter, and cabling for serial communications or cabling for Ethernet.
• Verify that the chosen access controller supports the Wiegand formats supported by V-Station 4G
devices.
• Identify all wiring by the signal levels it is to carry. Use separate cables and conduits for
different signal groups to avoid cross talk. Plan to separate them by these groups:
Power distribution: Wires carry power to devices, door strikes, etc.
Data communication: RS-485, RS-232, USB, Wiegand, Ethernet, etc.
Signal: Door contact, request-to-exit push button, alarm input, etc.
• When planning device placement, determine the distance limitation of each signal type and use
repeaters if necessary.
• Determine the availability of a quality earth ground
• V-Series 4G devices are intended for indoor use only.
If you have any unresolved issues with the items on this list, contact L-1 EAS Technical Support
for additional information before beginning any installation.
V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices should be installed by only a qualified
technician. If you are not qualified to perform an installation task, call L-1
EAS Technical Support or contact a qualified installer.

Planning the Installation
2.1. R
ECOMENDED STEPSFORA SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION
Every installation is unique. Sometimes the issues are well defined and can be handled in a
standard fashion; sometimes the issues are very specific and may not be immediately recognizable.
L-1 EAS recommends following these steps for a successful installation:
Plan the installation - Choose the type of hardware required, decide if a network is required, and
decide on the location and number of required devices.
Unpack all items - Unpack all items and check against the packing list.
Install network hardware components - Install the cabling and components needed to run the
system.
Install software - Install the software needed to set up the devices.
Preconfigure device - Connect the device to the USB cable, supply power to the device, and
preconfigure the device.
Mount devices - Mount the devices in their final locations
Power distribution and device hook up - Connect the device wiring via the back panel.
Power-up procedure - Check the power conne ction s and start the system safely.
Enroll users - Enroll users into the system (for user enrollment procedures).
Chapters 3 through 7 in this document present more information on these steps.
SecureAdmin Server and SecureAdmin Client support these operating systems:
• Windows Server 2003 R2
• Windows Server 2008
• Windows Vista
• Windows XP Service Pack 2 or higher

ETWORK REQUIREMENTS
The V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices function on 100 baseT networks.
2.2.4. S
OFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Both SecureAdmin Server and SecureAdmin Client require these software applications
as prerequisites:
.net Framework 3.5
Windows Installer 3.1
If these applications are not already installed, they will get installed during the setup
process.
SecureAdmin Server and SecureAdmin Client also require System Administrator access
to install the application.
SecureAdmin uses a self-signed certificate (x.509 certificate) with a file extension
of .pfx.
You have the option of installing your own certificate, which must be purchased from a
recognized authority in advance. The SecureAdmin self-signed certificate is installed
only with the SecureAdmin server component. No certificate is installed with the
SecureAdmin client component, and during the client installation, you are asked to
specify which type of certificate SecureAdmin server will be using (the self-signed
certificate provided with the SecureAdmin server component installation or a signed
certificate from another authority such as VeriSign.
