Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
The fingerprint reader can work with GV-AS / GV-EV Controller and GV-ASManager to
create a complete access control system. Three types of operation modes are supported:
Card + Fingerprint, Fingerprint Only and Card Only.
Card + Fingerprint Mode
With the fingerprint reader only, you can enroll and manage users through the supplied
Manager Enroll Card and Delete Card, along with optional MIFARE cards.
The fingerprint templates are stored in the user card. The user gains access by scanning
both his/her finger and the card. The reader compares the presented finger with digital
template stored in the card. If the finger is successfully authenticated, a signal is sent to
momentarily activate the door relay of the controller.
Fingerprint Only Mode
The fingerprints are enrolled through a GV-GF1911 reader installed on the computer running
the GV-ASManager software using RS485 connection or through a GV-GF1921 / 1922
reader using TCP/IP connection. The fingerprint data are distributed through GV-ASManager
to the assigned fingerprint readers installed on GV-AS / GV-EV Controllers for access control.
Card Only Mode
This mode requires the users to present their cards only to be granted access.
Note: GV-GF1921 / 1922 can also work as a standalone device. For details, see 7. A
Standalone Fingerprint Reader.

Chapter 3 Fingerprint Only Mode
The Fingerprint Only mode must work with the GV-ASManager software andthe GV-
GF1911 / GV-GF1921 / GV-GF1922 reader to enroll fingerprints. You must first enroll
fingerprint data using GV-ASManager and then upload the fingerprints to the fingerprint
readers. To gain access, the user’s fingerprint must match the enrolled fingerprint.
3.1 Enrolling Fingerprints
There are two ways to enroll fingerprints: locally and remotely.
For local fingerprint enrollment, a GV-GF1911 / 1921 / 1922 needs to be connected to GV-
ASManager, and the user needs to register his or her fingerprints at the site of the GV-
ASManager.
For remote fingerprint enrollment, first enroll empty fingerprints for a user on the GV-
ASManager. The user can then go to a connected GV-GF1921 / 1922 at a later time, and
register his or her fingerprints using an assigned card. This function is useful when the user
is not around GV-ASManager.
Note: The enrolled fingerprints will be saved on the fingerprint reader instead of on the GV-
ASManager.

By default, the DHCP service is enabled and when the fingerprint reader is connected to the
network, it is automatically assigned an unused IP address by the DHCP server. This IP
address remains unchanged unless the fingerprint reader is disconnected and reconnected
to the network. If the router does not support DHCP, the default IP address will be
192.168.0.10.
To designate a fixed IP address, select Disable and specify the IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Default Gateway and Domain Name Server.
Tip: You can also configure the Machine Name and IP address settings using the GV-Net
