Understanding the IntelliDevice
™ and IntelliLink™ Architectur
e
The iPulse iPBx biometric device range use the unique IntelliLink™ to make connections simple, yet
extremely powerful. The IntelliLink™ is a patented way for iPulse devices to share power, network
communications and iPulse-specific communications with each other, and connects a family of devices
known as IntelliDevices™, the most common of which is the IntelliRelay™.
All iPBx biometric devices (with the exception of the Access type readers) ship with an IntelliRelay™ in the
box. This extremely powerful device acts as the readers connection to the outside world, providing
network, power and communications, and including a highly secure and extremely powerful relay board
that can trigger external devices such as a mag lock, receive feedback or status signals from external
devices, and also, accept a push button input.
Because the IntelliRelay™ is “Intelligent”, it can monitor these inputs, and report back to the reader, turning
even a “dumb” push button device into a monitored and recorded input. Furthermore,
the IntelliRelay™
can monitor the biometric device itself, and should it lose connection for any reason, perform an auto-
reset of the reader, thus ensuring maximum uptime.
Using commonly available RJ45 connectors, the iPBx range of readers connect directl
y to the IntelliRelay™
via standard Category 5e (

), commonly known as Cat 5 cable.

SecuGen Sensor & Capture/ Matching Algorithm
The iPulse iPBx range of biometric devices come standard with the SecuGen range of FBI-certified, patented
SEIR-based fingerprint sensors and uses the SecuGen MINEX-tested/ NIST-compliant algorithm for capture
and matching.
SecuGen Corporation is one of the world's leading provider of advanced, optical fingerprint recognition
technology, products, tools and platforms and has been serving the global biometrics industry since 1998.
The iPBx readers use the SecuGen Corporation MINEX Compliant Extractor and Matcher, and the following
information shows the SDK Code and CBEFF PID relating to these specific products. MINEX is a project of
NIST's Information Technology Laboratory's Information Access Division, and NIST is an agency of the U.S.
Commerce Department's Technology Administration, and more information pertaining to these values,
and how they are calculated, is available from their website.
