Proxy mode
The Proxy mode is an operating mode where the access control main application is
located in a distant system. This is not a standalone mode like Identification and
Authentication modes.
It means that the terminal becomes a slave of the host system application. The access
control application is running on the host system and uses MorphoWave
TM
OEM
terminal high level functions:
•
Identification function
•
Authentication function
•
Access control result signal command
The MorphoWave
TM
OEM terminal is driven through an Ethernet link using TCP, SSL or
TLS protocol.
The MorphoWave
TM
OEM terminal acts as a server: it is either waiting for a command
or executing a command.
The commands allowed by the MorphoWave
TM
OEM terminal are described in the
MorphoWave
TM
OEM Host System Interface Specification document.
For further details about SSL or TLS on the MorphoWave
TM
OEM terminal, please refer
to the MorphoWave™ OEM Series Administration Guide and the MorphoWave
addendum.
External database mode (also called polling mode)
When external database mode is activated, the MorphoWave
TM
OEM terminal does
not verify user template in its local database. This mode is useful when the user
templates are stored in external database.
When authentication is initiated on the terminal, the terminal will poll the user ID to
external controller. On polling out the ID, the corresponding template (if exists) is
fetched from the external database and is authenticated against user’s biometric on
the terminal. Once the template request is posted to the external database, the
terminal shall wait for the finger template from the external database to start
authentication. Further process shall be same as authentication.
Polling Process using buffer:
The user’s input ID will be queued in the terminal’s queue, which is polled by
external application.
External application waits for the User ID by polling the buffer. After getting an ID,
it will search the template in database and send template to terminal for further
authentication.
The user is authenticated by the external device and granted access accordingly.
MorphoWave
TM
OEM terminal also has distant commands to retrieve polling buffer
status and polling buffer data.
