Connecting as a standalone
FaceStation F2 can be connected to the door lock, door button, and door sensor directly without connecting a separate I/O
device.
NOTE
•
FaceStation F2 can be used as a multi-door controller with the slave devices with the RS-485 cable. The slave devices are used
as dummy readers and authentication is performed in the master device.
•
If a fingerprint authentication device is configured as a slave device in FaceStation F2, you cannot add another FaceStation F2
as a slave device.
•
If the fingerprint authentication device is the master device, FaceStation F2 cannot be added as a slave device.
•
When you connect FaceStation F2 as a slave device while FaceStation F2 is the master device, only one FaceStation F2 can be
added as a slave device.
•
If FaceStation F2 is configured as a slave device for the face recognition terminal, you can connect one additional Secure I/O 1
and DM-20 each.
•
If FaceStation F2 is configured as a slave device for the face recognition terminal, you cannot connect additional OM-120.
•
The maximum number of slave devices available to connect varies according to the authentication method, number of users,
and number of devices. Also note that the number of slave devices affects the authentication speed.
•
A master device can control 31 slave devices. The bandwidth of RS-485 allows for up to 7 fingerprint authentication devices to
be connected.
•
Suprema’s standalone intelligent readers contain internal relays that can directly lock/unlock doors without external
controllers for added convenience. For access control applications in need of security, however, it is NOT recommended to use
the internal relay of a reader to prevent any tampering attacks which can potentially trigger the door unlock. For such
applications, it is highly recommended to use a separate relay unit for a lock control such as Suprema's Secure I/O 2, DM-20
or CoreStation installed at a secure side of a door.
