BioAdmin User Manual 14

1. Getting Started

1.1. Outline

This manual illustrates how to use BioAdmin software. BioAdmin is a PC Windows

software for the control and management of Suprema’s BioEntry, BioStation and

BEACon products. BioAdmin includes various functions needed for a host station

for applications of access control and time & attendance using these devices.

For proper hardware connection, please refer to BioEntry Installation manual and

BioStation Installation manual.

There are two approaches in managing BioEntry and BioStation. :

z Using BioAdmin program which is the management software running on

Windows based PC platforms. This manual is mainly focused on operating

BioEntry and BioStation using BioAdmin software.

z Integrating the management functionality into customer’s application software

using SDK which contains versatile API’s to control BioEntry and BioStation. For

further information, please refer to SFM SDK Reference Manual, BioStation

SDK manual, and UniFinger Engine SDK Reference Manual.

1.2. Fundamentals

This chapter provides introductive information on BioEntry, BioStation, and

BioAdmin including basic concepts, operation flow, and overview of the software.

1.2.1. Finger scan device

Fingerprint access device is a device to authenticate the identity of each person

using fingerprints. It can be easily integrated into access control system by

connecting with access control panel through industry standard interface such as

Wiegand interface. Since fingerprints contain biometric features which are unique

for each person, fingerprint access device can be substituted for existing access

devices, such as barcode, magnetic card, keypad, or RF card devices, with high

security and efficiency.

1.2.2. Finger scan smart card device

Fingerprint smart card device is an advanced model of fingerprint access device

BioAdmin User Manual 15

which improves security of the system by integrating smart card technology.

Fingerprint data for each person is stored on user’s smart card and the device

authenticates the user by comparing the stored fingerprint data in the smart card

with the input fingerprint data.

1.2.3. Template

A template is the binary data representing the features of each fingerprint. The

fingerprint image acquired from a fingerprint sensor is converted to a template,

which is stored on the memory of the fingerprint access device or on user’s smart

card. In authenticating a user, a new template is also generated and compared

with the stored templates.

1.2.4. Enrollment

Enrollment is the process to store the fingerprint template with user information.

Through enrollment process, new users are entered into the system.

1.2.5. Verification

Verification is the process of authenticating an input fingerprint with the fingerprint of

the specified user. On BioEntry Smart, a user places smart card containing

personal fingerprint template and user information. Then, the device carries out

verification process by scanning an input fingerprint. On BioEntry Pass, verification

process can be implemented by connecting external Wiegand device, such as RF

card device, which provides the current user ID.

1.2.6. Identification

Identification is the process of searching a matched fingerprint among the stored

fingerprints on the device. BioEntry Pass and BioStation basically operate in

identification mode, which requires no additional input except the placement of a

finger.

1.2.7. User database

User database includes user ID, user name, fingerprint templates, and so on.

BioAdmin software is based on the central management of user database. That is,

the user database is created, updated, and stored on the host PC. Then, it is

selectively distributed to the BioEntry and BioStation connected on the network

using transfer menu.

BioAdmin User Manual 16

1.2.8. Transfer

Transfer to Device is used to transfer the user database of the host PC to BioEntry

and BioStation. The user information such as User ID, templates, access group,

and security level is transferred by this process.

Detailed operations are as follows.

z Enroll new users on BioEntry and BioStation

z Replace inconsistent templates on BioEntry and BioStation

z Delete templates of unknown users or de-selected users on BioEntry and

BioStation

Transfer from Device is used to upload the user formation from BioEntry and

BioStation to the database of host PC. The user information such as User ID,

Template Number, Number of Access Group, and Security Level can be uploaded

by this process.

1.2.9. Site key for smartcard

Site key is a password for smart card to ensure that an authorized card should be

used for a specific installation. 48 bit key is used in BioEntry Smart allowing 0 to

281374976710655 (0xFFFFFFFFFFFF). For proper operation, the same key

should be configured on BioEntry Smart and user’s smart card.

1.3. How to place a finger

1.3.1. Select a finger to enroll

(1) It is recommended to use an index finger or a middle finger. (2) Thumb, ring or little finger is relatively more difficult to place in a correct position.

1.3.2. How to place a finger on a sensor

(1) Place a finger as it completely covers the sensor with maximum contact. (2) It is better to place the core part of a fingerprint to the center of a sensor.

 People usually tend to place only the top end of a finger

 Where is the core (center) of a fingerprint?

 A peak where spirals of fingerprint ridges are dense

 Usually opposite to lower part of a nail

 It is recommended to place a finger as the lower part of a nail is located at the

center of a sensor

BioAdmin User Manual 17

(3) If a finger is placed as in the right picture, only a small area of a finger is

captured. So it is recommended to place a finger as in the left picture.

1.3.3. Tips for different finger conditions

Suprema’s fingerprint products are designed to scan fingerprint smoothly

regardless of the conditions of a finger skin. However, if a fingerprint is difficult to

scan due to other influences, please refer to the followings tips.

(1) If a finger is stained with sweat or water, scan after wiping moisture off (2) If a finger is covered with dust or impurities, scan after wiping them off (3) If a finger is way too dry, scan after blowing warm breath on a fingertip.

1.3.4. Advices on fingerprint enrollment

(1) In fingerprint recognition, enrollment process is very important. Therefore,

when enrolling a fingerprint, please try to place a finger correctly with care.

(2) In case of low acceptance ratio, the following actions are recommended.

 Delete enrolled fingerprints and re-enroll the fingers.

 Enroll the same finger additionally

 Try with another finger if a finger is not easy to enroll due to scar or worn-

out.

(3) For the case when an enrolled fingerprint can’t be used due to scar or

holding a baggage, it is recommended to enroll more than two fingers.

1.4. Concept of BioAdmin 4.1

BioAdmin 4.1 is operated as server-client application so that users can operate the

BioAdmin Client program from multiple host PCs at the same time. If the users

connect BioStation to the BioAdmin Server, logs from the BioStation will be

automatically stored on the database of BioAdmin Server real-time. In this server-

client application, BioAdmin Client is used as the user interface to manage the data.

If the user does not connect the BioStation to the BioAdmin Server, logs will not be

BioAdmin User Manual 18

stored on the database automatically.

BioAdmin Server is designed only for BioStation. Therefore, you can not use the

BioEntry or BEACon as the server-client application.

This chapter describes the installation and operation of BioAdmin Server and

BioAdmin Client programs.

1.4.1. How to install BioAdmin Server

z Select the PC to be used as the server. Server PC should be always tuned on ,

because it should receive log data from the connected BioStation and store it on

the database real time.
