UNIT PARAMETER S ETTINGS
Creating USER DEFINED PASS-THRU Format Options
The user has the ability to add custom defined PASS-THRU formats to the VeriAdmin software. These will be added to the dropdown list in the BII_UNIT PARAMETER SETTINGS dialog box. In the installation directory there is a file called WFORMAT.DAT that contains all displayed Wiegand formats.
WIEGAND <MV1100_Code> <#bits> <text_string(no spaces)>
WARNING: These should NOT be changed or added to unless directed by Bioscrypt
TECHNICAL SUPPORT. Any modifications to this section could cause unreliable Wiegand communications using PRE-DEFINED formats.
The next section shows the PASS-THRU Formats and follows the format:
WIEGAND_PASS <label> <TOTAL_BITS> <ID_START_BIT> <ID_NUM_BITS>
Where:WIEGAND_PASS is the identification that this is a PASS_THRU format
<label> is the Description shown in the dropdown list (no spaces) <TOTAL_BITs> is the total number of bits in the entire Wiegand String (maximum is 64) <ID_START_BIT> is the starting bit of the ID FIELD(where the first bit is 0) <ID_NUM_BITS> is number of bits in the ID FIELD (must be contiguous)

UNIT PARAMETER S ETTINGS
For Example:
Standard 26-bit Wiegand is -- PSSSSSSSSDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDP (1 Parity bit, 8 SITE CODE bits, 16 ID bits, 1 Parity)
- 26 total bits
- ID Start Bit is 9 - (where first bit is 0)
- ID Number of Bits is 16
This would be represented as:
WIEGAND_PASS 26-Bit-Pass_Thru 26 9 16
And the text, “26-Bit-Pass_Thru” would be added to the dropdown box. Selection of this option would show the data in the associated boxes.
As seen below, one special format ( CUSTOM –1 –1 –1 ) is also added. When this is selected, the user can enter the TOTAL_BITS, ID_START_BITS, and ID_NUM_BITS directly into the VeriAdmin user interface. These values can then be sent to the BII_UNIT. The values are NOT saved to the WFORMAT.DAT file however. To add items directly to the file, any standard text editor will work since WFORMAT.DAT is a text file.

AUX PORT SECURITY
This allows the Administrator to set a password for the AUX port to DISABLE unauthorized AUX Port communications. The purpose is to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the AUX port unless the password is supplied to re-ENABLE the port.
In the dialog, the current state is shown. The Administrator would select DISABLE and supply a numeric password, and press the SET button. The supplied numeric password should be remembered since it is required to ENABLE the AUX port while communicating on the AUX port.
Once the AUX port is disabled, no communications are accepted over the AUX port unless ENABLE PORT option is chosen in 1 of 2 ways.
If communicating over the HOST PORT
o the ENABLE PORT command will enable AUX port communications and a
password is NOT required. This allows the unit to be reset over the HOST port if the AUX password is forgotten. VeriAdmin allows this since the network is considered secure.
UNIT PARAMETER S ETTINGS
If communicating over the AUX PORT
o The ENABLE PORT command will enable AUX port communications ONLY if
the correct password is supplied. All other commands will return an error indicated a ‘locked port’ until the port is enabled properly
Bioscrypt recommends that the AUX port be disabled and password
protected
When an Administrator needs to communicate with the device using the AUX Port, the procedure would be:
connect to the AUX port,
use VeriAdmin to bring up the BII_UNIT PARAMETER SETTINGS dialog
choose ENABLE PORT, supply the correct password, and press SET
All communications would then be allowed. Once all data is gathered, the Administrator would then disable the AUX port by:
use VeriAdmin to bring up the BII_UNIT PARAMETER SETTINGS dialog
choose DISABLE PORT, supply a new password, and press SET
This would once again protect the AUX port from unauthorized use.

Advanced Enrollment
The Advanced Template Enrollment is the recommended tool for enrolling all
templates. This allows multiple templates to be sampled and the corresponding
template created. Users can sample different finger or multiple enrollments of the
same finger. Each time an enrollment is sampled, the “best” template is identified
between the current 3 samples. Users then have the option of ACCEPTing the
enrollment of their choice. NOTE: No enrollments are saved until 1 of the 3
ACCEPT buttons is pressed.
This tool can be used to train users by demonstrating how proper finger placement
is a critical aspect in obtaining a good enrollment. This tool can also show how
different fingers on the same person can have very different QUALITY and
CONTENT ratings.

LED Table Settings
Choosing the LED Table Settings menu item will allow the user to define how the reader’s LED will function under specific operations. Selecting this option will display the dialog shown in figure 30. The dropdown selection box chooses the function (enroll, verify, idle, etc.) to modify. Below that is each possible state for the selected operation. Line 1 represents GREEN LED, Line 2 represents RED LED, and Line 3 represents the Buzzer.
In the example shown, the ENROLL
function is chosen. The first two states are disabled since they have no meaning for the ENROLL function.
Both Line 1 and Line 2 are chosen to indicate PLACE FINGER. This will turn GREEN and RED LEDs on creating a YELLOW LED.
LED TABLE S ETTINGS
The REMOVE FINGER operation is signaled by clearing all LEDs, thus making the LED turn off.
If a FINGER NOT DETECTED happens, then the RED LED is shown for 600 milliseconds.
A PASS is indicated by both turning the LED GREEN and sounding the BUZZER for 600 milliseconds.
To indicate a FLASHING LED, choose the duration and set the INTERVAL time (1350 is normal).
Figure 33: LED Table Settings
The USE TABLE checkbox indicates whether to use these setting for non-Wiegand initiated commands (like commands coming from PC). Repeat process of other functions then press the ACCEPT to transfer to the current unit. If the ACCEPT is not pressed, the changes are ignored.
