This section explains and describes the functions and options of enrolling
the users;
•
User Enrollment/Verification
•
Match Threshold Levels
•
User ID Numbers
•
Authority (Status) Levels
The two most important functions are user enrollment and user
verification.
User Enrollment/Verification
Enrollment is the process of associating an ID number to the user’s
finger/s to create a template. This template is stored in the memory of
F707/708 for future verification.
During user verification, the stored template is compared to the current
fingerprint scan to confirm the user’s identity.
The enrollment process takes approximately 2-4 seconds.
Up to ten fingers can be enrolled for the same ID number, so the user may
have more verification options.
Ideally, we recommend enrolling one finger from each hand so that in
case of injury to one hand, the user can use the finger from the other
hand as a backup. It is recommended to enroll either index fingers
and/or middle fingers.
For users with extremely thin fingers, we recommend to enroll the
thumb. For users whose fingers are difficult to enroll or cannot be
enrolled, we recommend to enroll the password along with
fingerprint.
