LED Indicators:
The left LED is internally controlled by the Zodiac Link and is
normally
RED
in colour. It turns
GREEN
when the reader
authenticates a user. It will flash
RED
three (3) times if the reader fails
to authenticate a user.
If the reader is set to reader mode and is connected to a controller, the
right LED is externally controlled by the host controller and is normally
RED
in colour. It turns
GREEN
when the LED line from the
controller is pulled low.
Keypad:
The keypad is used for entering data into the Zodiac Link.
Master Reader:
When multiple readers are configured to use the RS-485 bus, one must be
designated as a Master and the rest designated as Slaves. All enrollment and
administrative functions should be performed from the Master Reader.
When the map of the Slave Readers is set (
see map slave section
), the user
fingerprint templates enrolled at the Master Reader are automatically
replicated to all Slave Readers. However, the fingerprint templates of the
administrators and the reader’s settings are not replicated. These must be
programmed at each Slave Reader.
Slave Reader:
The Slave Readers cannot be used to perform any enrollment or
administrative function with the exception of copying all user fingerprint
templates to other readers. This bulk copy feature is provided in the event
that one of the readers is down and the Master Reader is not available. Slave
Readers cannot be used to copy individual fingerprint templates to other
readers, they may only be copied in bulk.
Manual Replication:
From a Master Reader, a single fingerprint template or all fingerprint
templates may be manually replicated to other readers one at a time. This
feature is provided in the event that the Slave Reader was down or was not
available during the auto replication process, and is now available for a
manual replication.
