identical twins.
The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family Series terminals integrate Morpho image processing and
feature matching algorithms. This technology is based on lessons learned during 25 years of
experience in the field of biometric identification and the creation of literally millions of
individual fingerprint identification records.
Designed for physical access control applications, MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family Series
terminals feature a compact, attractive design, coupled with high reliability and security. These
th
5
generation terminals are both robust and easy to use for a variety of applications, including

About Biometrics
About fingerprint biometrics
Fingerprints are permanent and unique. They are formed before birth and last throughout one's
life. Classification and systematic matching of fingerprints for different purposes have been in
use since the late 19th century.
The skin on the underside of fingers is different from the skin on other areas of a human body.
This skin has raised lines called; ‘ridges’.
These ridges do not run continuously from one side to the other, rather they may curve, end, or
divide into two or more ridges (bifurcation and endings). Barring accidental or intentional
mutilation, the ridge arrangement is permanent.
Fingerprints can be divided into three major ridge patterns such as Whorls, Loops and Arches.
Unique characteristics known as Minutiae identify those points of a fingerprint wherein the
ridges become either bifurcation or endings, as illustrated in Figure 1. These minutiae are the
unique features, which form the basis of any system using fingerprint comparison techniques
for identification and verification purposes.
Figure 1: Minutiae are classified in two categories i.e. ridge ending and bifurcation
Fingerprint is a mature biometrics, in use for various applications based on individual’s
authentication or identification, as it offers an excellent trade-off between criterias such as user
acceptance, easiness of use, performance, stability, cost effectiveness and interoperability.
Since the early eighties, Morpho has carried an extensive research in the field of studying
fingerprints and continually refined its expertise in the domain of fingerprint based recognition
systems. It has lead the market in studied fingerprint characteristics and continually refined its
expertise in fingerprint identification technology, developing first AFIS systems (Automated
Fingerprint Identification Systems) and then applying its unique know-how and worldwide
leading position to markets such as physical access control (premises), logical access control
(computers and networks), secure payment transactions and OEM applications.

General
Why would one connect the terminal to a PC?
The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal is designed to be able to run in standalone mode,
it means without any connection to a master system. But sometimes, a connection with a PC is
useful to perform tasks like:
Configuring the terminal.
Maintaining terminal: firmware upgrade, add a license (to unlock an optional feature)
Managing the database, i.e., adding or deleting or modifying the user data.
Managing log files, i.e., get or delete the log files.
Configuring the Wi-Fi™ connection.
Connection methods
The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal can be connected to a PC by an Ethernet cable,
either directly or through a LAN. The LAN can be reduced to only one Ethernet switch.
Once physically connected, the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal can be configured using
an application such as MorphoBioToolbox.
A POE (Power over Ethernet) current injector is mandatory if the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family
terminal is not powered by the +12VDC/GND wires block.
Network parameter initialization
The ‘default’ network parameters of the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal are:
If the terminal’s default network parameter values cannot be used, it is recommended to refer to the “Communication menu” to change these values.

Point to Point Ethernet Connection
The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal can be connected directly to a PC by an Ethernet
cable.
The administrator needs to consider the points mentioned below prior to connecting the
terminal directly to a PC via an Ethernet cable.
If the Ethernet port of the PC does not support the Auto-MDIX feature, then a crossover
Ethernet cable is mandatory. If no crossover Ethernet cable is available, then a switch can be
used (please refer to “Connection through only one Ethernet switch”).
If the PC that the administrator uses is already connected to a LAN, then it must be either
disconnected from the LAN, or equipped with a 2nd network interface board. This 2nd network
board will be dedicated to the connection with the terminal. The administrator may need to
modify the network parameters of the PC, in that case a Network or LAN administrator should
be contacted for seeking the best solution.

Connection through only one Ethernet switch
The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal can be connected to a PC through an Ethernet
switch. This is useful when no crossover cable is available, in that case the administrator can use
one Ethernet switch and two Ethernet standard cables.
WARNING:an Ethernet HUB doesn’t allow a connection between two of its ports. An
Ethernet switch is really mandatory.

Connection through a LAN
Description
The administrator can also connect the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal to a PC via Local
Area Network (LAN) by specifying a unique IP address or host name.
The IP address could be static or dynamically assigned by the DHCP server in the network. If the
administrator chooses to specify the host name of the terminal as its unique identifier, then in
that case the ‘terminal name’ must be added to the DNS server database by the network
administrator.
Figure 4: Connection through LAN
The administrator is recommended to connect MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminals on a
dedicated network in order to reduce possibilities of fraudulent access to the configuration of
the terminal. It is advised to contact the network administrator for more information on LAN
security strategies.
Before the administrator connects the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal to a LAN, it is
necessary to configure the LAN parameters into the terminal. The values of these parameters
are to be provided and/or approved by the network administrator.
LAN with DNS Server
When a DNS server is available in the LAN, the PC can request the connection to the
MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal by using its host name instead of its IP address.
The network administrator must add the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal host name to
the DNS server database, otherwise a TCP open session request using the terminal’s hostname
will fail.

It is useful to specify the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal by its host name, when the
DHCP mode is enabled, as the IP address of the terminal can change after a power up.
LAN without DNS Server
This section helps the administrator in connecting the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal
to a LAN that does not have a DNS server or when host name cannot be added to the DNS Server
database.
The PC is not able to establish a connection with a terminal using its host name. An IP address
of the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family. terminal is the only way to specify the terminal.
For standard use (excluding unscheduled maintenance operations), it is recommended that the
administrator should not enable DHCP mode in this case. This is because in the DHCP mode the
IP address for the terminal can change each time it is restarted.
Static IP address (DHCP disabled)
This is the easiest way for an administrator to connect a MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal
to a LAN. In this case, the IP address of the terminal remains the same after each reboot and
the Host System needs to know only this IP address in order to establish a connection with the
terminal.
The IP address of the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal must be reserved in the router by
the network administrator. The network administrator must also provide and/or approve the
network parameter values for the terminal, i.e.:
The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal IP address,
Gateway IP address,
Local subnet masks value.
WARNING: If the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal uses an IP address already
assigned in the network, the connection to the terminal will be unstable.
Dynamic IP address (DHCP enabled)
When the administrator enables the DHCP mode in the terminal, the terminal IP address and
other networking parameters are assigned automatically from the DHCP Server (network
routers). This address could be different after each start-up as it depends on the DHCP strategy
defined for the LAN.

Wi-Fi™ Network configuration
Requirements
Wi-Fi™ connection is available under the following mandatory conditions:
The administrator must have plugged in a Morpho Wi-Fi™ USB adapter in the rear USB
port of the terminal.
Please refer to “MorphoAccess® SIGMA Series terminal USB port with a Wi-Fi™ adapter”
for MorphoAccess® SIGMA Series and for MorphoAccess® SIGMA Lite terminal refer to
MorphoAccess® SIGMA Lite Series Quick User Guide.
The administrator must ensure that a Wi-Fi™ license (dedicated to this terminal) must
be present in the terminal (as described in “Communication licenses”),
After the above operations ensure to reboot the terminal.
Configuration
The Wi-Fi™ network configuration is described in the section “Wi-Fi™ Network Configuration”
The Wi-Fi™ configuration parameters are described in the MorphoAccess® 5G Series –
Parameters Guide document.
Troubleshooting
If the administrator has configured the terminal to use the Wi-Fi™ connection with the Wi-Fi™
USB adapter plugged in and if there is no WI-FI™ license present, the MorphoAccess® SIGMA
Family terminal will emit a short-low tone.
To solve this issue, the administrator needs to unplug the Wi-Fi™ USB adapter and restart the
terminal.
The Wi-Fi™ configuration parameters are described in the MorphoAccess® 5G Series –
Parameters Guide document.
