Terminal Setup
Internal Reader
Special Decoders
Type 1 – Passthrough. This causes the data stream generated by
the reader to be passed directly to the application as an ASCII bit
stream. This allows the application to decode the data in situations
where the reader encoding is not yet supported by the firmware.
This option is also a useful tool for data format analysis.
Type 2 – Bitmask decoder. Enables a pre-defined bitmask to be
applied to a reader data string that is of an unsupported format, in
order to obtain the desired transponder number
Test Reader
This enables the configured reader to be tested. The user should swipe/
present badge and the decoded data is displayed on the terminal’s
display, for example:
#2 0004405100693
(2nd swipe same badge)
#1 0004405100693
(1st swipe of badge) is shown (bit length, decoder used, and so on)
Biometric
When this menu is selected, the terminal automatically detects whether a biometric reader is fitted. If
detected then the following selections can be made, otherwise the message
No biometric unit installed
will
appear.
Info
Module
: Displays the model/firmware details of the biometric reader.
Test Sensor
This prompts the user to place their finger on the reader. Once read,
the user’s template is shown on the display, for example:
Note that this process does not enrol the user, but by displaying a
representation of the fingerprint, it can be used to confirm that the
reader is working correctly and is not damaged.
Calibrate Sensor
This option allows recalibration of the biometric sensor and is normally
only used following sensor replacement.
Delete all Templates
This option allows the user to permanently delete all templates in the
biometric reader. Use this option with care!
