Setting up the ID File
Once you have installed the software on your PC, you will need to set up a
communications port ID file. The software will use the information in this file to
communicate with the VeriSeries reader(s) connected to the Host Port.
You can create and edit the file using the any standard Text Editor program
provided with Microsoft Windows.
Access the file, UNITIDS.DAT located in the Install Directory. The default path is:
C:\Program Files\BioID\VeriProx\UNITIDS.DAT
ID File Format
The file format is as follows:
Line 1: Name the COMM port on the PC
Line 2: List the IDs for all units on this port. Identify V-PASS units by
appending a “:M” to the corresponding ID. Separate each ID by a space.
Line 3: Type a % to end the COMM port.
Example :
COM#: 1
UNITIDS: 0 1 2:M 3 4:M 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
%
COM#: 2
UNITIDS: 31 32:M 33
%
Notice how the line for the Unit IDs for COMM 1 wraps; the software will
continue to read the line until the %. A space should appear between each
reader ID number and after the keywords “COM#:” and “UNITSIDS:”. In the
example above, IDs #2, #4 and #32 are designated as V-PASS units.
It is
important to designate V-PASS units appropriately to assist the
VeriAdmin software in proper template management. Also, if this is
not done, a “mismatch” message will appear when a network status is
performed.
Once you have completed editing the file, save it under the same name and
to the same location.
Note:
The VeriAdmin Software will first look for this
file in the current directory. If not found, the
software will then look in the Install Directory
for this file.
