AR402 Administration

4.2 Basics
The AR402 is manufactured in two versions:
1. AR402 with built-in biometrical sensor and keypad
2. AR402-Card Reader with built-in biometrical sensor and embedded smart card
reader
The AR402 identifies authorized
users by scanning their fingerprints (and optionally their
PINs and smart cards). Successful identification sends a trigger signal to an access
controller within a protected area and is followed by a door lock or release.
The AR402-Card Reader reads fingerprints and smart cards alternatively.
Fingerprint authentication requires that the authorized user's fingerprints have been enrolled
in advance and that they have been linked to a unique User ID.
Enrollment can be performed on the AR402, which stores the collected data (Templates).
The 'Template on Card' mode allows you to write Templates onto smart cards (currently
16k2 cards only).
The AR402 can either be run using the RS485 interface or the Wiegand output:
RS485 Configuration
Running the reader using the RS485 interface means that
administration of the AR402 is done on the NEXTOR Series
access controller.
All administrator functions, except for enrollment, are disabled
on the AR402.
Fingerprint Templates are managed by the access controller
and can be distributed to the connected AR402 readers.
Wiegand Configuration
All administrator functions described in this manual, except for
enrollment, only apply to the Wiegand configuration. All settings
are entered on the keypad of the AR402.
Fingerprint templates are stored on the AR402 and cannot be
distributed to connected AR402 readers.
