MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family Modes
MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family (also referred to as MA5G) terminals are standalone biometric
access control terminals that offer advance features for access rights of the users.
MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminals are equipped with a facility to emulate (partially)
either the previous generation of the MorphoAccess® terminals, or L-1 Bioscrypt 4G Series
terminals.
When the administrator configures the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family in any of the legacy
modes; it supports the database structures and configurations of the selected legacy
terminal. When the terminal boots up for the first time, the user can select any of the legacy
modes as described in the following sections.
MorphoAccess® 500 or J Series legacy mode
The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal can be operated in MA500 mode (also referred
as Legacy Morpho). When the administrator configures the legacy mode, the terminal will
support configurations and operations of MA500 terminals. It can authenticate users enrolled
in the MA500 terminals, using biometric check as well as contactless card. New users can also
be enrolled in MA500 mode.

L-1 Bioscrypt 4G Series legacy mode
MorphoAccess® SIGMA Series and MorphoAccess® SIGMA Lite Series terminal can be
operated in Bioscrypt 4G mode (also referred as Legacy L1). When the administrator has
configured the terminal in this mode, the terminal will support limited operations and
configurations that are done using SecureAdmin application. The terminal in L1 mode is able
to authenticate the users enrolled on 4G terminals and contactless cards. However user
enrolment in legacy L1 mode on MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal is possible only when
the SecureAdmin station is equipped with a MorphoSmart™ MSO biometric sensor.
