Setting Up a New
iA-thenticate Unit

Introduction to
iA-thenticate
iA-thenticate® is a hardware and software system for testing the authenticity of travel
and ID documents and for checking the identity of document owners.
Basic document testing includes verifying the checksum digits in a document’s machinereadable zone (MRZ), checking its expiration date, and confirming the proper use of
IR-absorbent (B900) ink.
With optional software and hardware, iA-thenticate can test documents in additional
ways and also check a document owner’s identity. For example:
❑ With iA-Passport
patterns and security laminate.
❑ With iA-License
reader, iA-thenticate can read and verify driver’s licenses and nondriver IDs.
❑ With TextWatch
document against a custom database of names, stolen document numbers, or other
important data.
®
software, iA-thenticate can verify additional features such as UV
™
and DL-Alert™ software and a magnetic stripe and bar code
®
software, iA-thenticate can compare information read from the
❑ With an integrated smart card reader, iA-thenticate can read, verify, and cross-check
information from an embedded smart chip.
Hardware Configurations
Note
Not all combinations of
these configuration options
are available.
iA-thenticate is available in several hardware configurations:
❑ With a monochrome or a color camera
• A monochrome unit captures and displays grayscale images. The captured
images are 768×576 pixels, 8 bits.
• A color unit captures and displays full-color images. The captured images are
1280×1024 pixels, 24 bits. A color unit needs more processing power, memory,
and disk space than a monochrome unit due to the larger images.
1-1
Introduction to iA-thenticate
❑ With or without an integrated PC
• An iA-thenticate Plus unit includes an integrated Windows
iA-thenticate software and other Windows programs. It can also operate as a
compact, self-contained unit without a keyboard, mouse, or monitor.
®
PC for running the
• A standard iA-thenticate unit has no built-in processor but attaches to a host PC
that runs the software. A monochrome unit connects through a PCI card, and a
color unit connects through a USB port.
❑ With or without an integrated smart-card reader
A smart-card unit has an extended document platform and one or two antennas for
reading chips embedded in the front and back pages (covers) of documents.
• A dual-page reader has two antennas for reading both front-page and back-page
chips when you place documents in the usual way.
• A single-page reader has one antenna for reading either front-page or back-page
chips, depending on the antenna location. It can also read a chip in the opposite
page if you reposition the document during processing.
Basic Setup Options
You can set up each iA-thenticate or iA-thenticate Plus unit as a full-featured document
security workstation. You can also set up iA-thenticate Plus as a compact, self-contained
unit with no monitor, keyboard, or mouse.
Full-Featured Document Security Workstation
In a full-featured setup:
❑ You use a standard monitor, keyboard, and mouse (or touch screen) for interacting
❑ Users log on just as they do with any Windows PC, with access privileges controlled
❑ You can use the workstation as a PC for running other Windows software in addi-

Setting Up Standard
Monochrome iA-thenticate
This chapter explains how to install software and hardware, connect cables, and control
access to your standard iA-thenticate unit with monochrome camera. Other chapters
explain how to set up other kinds of units.
Before you proceed with installation, check the Release Notes for new information.
If you are upgrading from a previous version, you may need to follow additional steps.
IMPORTANT
Setting up iA-thenticate requires the same skills as setting up a standard PC in a
networked en v iro nment. If y ou ar e not an e xperien ced install er and sy stem admi nistrator, you should not attempt to do the setup yourself.
Although setting up iA-thenticate is similar to setting up a PC, there are important
differences. If you don’t follow the instructions in this chapter carefully, your system may not work properly.
PC System Requirements for a Monochrome Unit
The standard iA-thenticate monochrome unit attaches to your Windows PC through a
plug-in PCI interface card. You install the iA-thenticate software on your PC, and
iA-thenticate then operates as a peripheral device. The result is a full-featured document
security workstation that still has all the capabilities of the desktop PC.
To work properly with iA-thenticate, your PC must meet these requirements:
Hardware
❑ Processor: 800 MHz Pentium 4 or better recommended
❑ RAM: 256 MB minimum
❑ Free disk space: 300 MB minimum; 1 GB or more recommended when saving
captured images and data
❑ Video display: 1024x768 resolution, 65536 colors, or better
❑ An available PCI-bus master slot, 2.0-compliant, capable of supplying 1.2 A at
12 VDC
2-1
Setting Up Standard Monochrome iA-thenticate
Configuration
❑ Swap file: Recommended 768 MB minimum and 1024 MB maximum for drive C
and for the data drive (where you store captured images)
Supported operating systems
❑ Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or higher with updates 823980 (Microsoft Security
Bulletin MS03-026) and 828028 (Bulletin MS04-007)
❑ Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
Other software requirements
❑ Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 or higher with update 832894 (Microsoft

Setting Up Standard Monochrome iA-thenticate
3. If you use Windows security to limit users’ access to various folders on your system,
all iA-thenticate users must have these permissions:
• Read and execute access to C:\, C:\BorderGuard, and C:\BorderGuard\Bin
• Read, write, and execute access to:
– The work folder, normally C:\BorderGuard\Working
– The folder for storing captured images—for example, E:\BorderGuard\Images
– The folder containing the iA-Examiner database BGExaminer.mdb, normally
C:\BorderGuard\Bin
– If you use TextWatch, the folder containing the TextWatch database iAT.sys,
normally
In addition, iA-thenticate administrators must have these permissions:
• Write access to:
– The folder containing the iA-Administrator database Administrator.mdb,
normally
– The Windows registry
C:\BorderGuard\Bin

Setting Up Standard
Color iA-thenticate
This chapter explains how to install software and hardware, connect cables, and control
access to your standard iA-thenticate unit with color camera. Other chapters explain
how to set up other kinds of units.
Before you proceed with installation, check the Release Notes for new information.
If you are upgrading from a previous version, you may need to follow additional steps.
IMPORTANT
Setting up iA-thenticate requires the same skills as setting up a standard PC in a
networked en v iro nment. If y ou ar e not an e xperien ced install er and sy stem admi nistrator, you should not attempt to do the setup yourself.
Although setting up iA-thenticate is similar to setting up a PC, there are important
differences. If you don’t follow the instructions in this chapter carefully, your system may not work properly.
PC System Requirements for a Color Unit
The standard iA-thenticate color unit attaches to your Windows PC through a USB port
and, for some configurations, a standard serial port. You install the iA-thenticate software on your PC, and iA-thenticate then operates as a peripheral device. The result is a
full-featured document security workstation that still has all the capabilities of the desktop PC.
To work properly with iA-thenticate, your PC must meet these requirements:
Hardware
❑ Processor: 1.6 GHz Pentium 4 or better recommended; 2.8 GHz or better for a
smart-card unit
❑ RAM: 256 MB minimum; 512 MB minimum for a smart-card unit
❑ Free disk space: 300 MB minimum; 1 GB or more recommended when saving
captured images and data
❑ Video display: 1024x768 resolution, 65536 colors, or better
❑ An available USB 2.0 port (high speed, 480 Mbps)
❑ An available standard serial port (for units that require it)
