INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW
1.1 Introduction
Thank you for choosing to purchase an iPulse Systems biometric reader. We are aware that there are many
options to choose from and are grateful that you have elected to choose our products out of the many
competitive options available to you.
The iPulse iPBx range of biometric devices are made with care and pride, and with proper installation and
care, should provide many years of uninterrupted service. The following guide is intended to assist you to
properly understand the best methods for installing and maintaining your product.
1.2 A quick overview of the iPBx biometric device range
The iPulse iPBx biometric device range use a simple combination of numbers and names to help users
clearly understand the type of device. In general, all products are named as follows:
iPB x < Name > < Description >
•
The x above is a number, between 1 and 9, which represents model of the biometric reader.
•
The < Name > represents the type, which explains the features, most of which are common across
models.
•
The < Description > normally reflects the card supported by that specific model and is normally only
included with Identity models.
For example, an iPB7 Identity SE/Prox, means that the reader is an iPB7 model, of the type Identity (a
reader type that has a built-in card reader, with the description SE/Prox meaning that this specific card
reader supports the HID SE (multiclass) card reader, as well as the multiclass Prox card reader.
Typical product types are the following:
Access : Normally a “dumb” device, the Access does not have its own controller built in. Designed to
work specifically with the IntelliControllers™, Access devices do on -device fingerprint
matching, but use the “brain” of the IntelliController™ for all other processing. Typically, these
devices are used in environments with smaller user bases, and where cost is a key driver.
Enterprise : The Enterprise range offers the full built-in controller that the iPBx range of biometric devices
are famous for. Offering full redundancy, and with complete operation in both online and
offline modes, the Enterprise range of readers are the core of the iPulse range.
Identity : The Identity range offers the same features as the Enterprise, but with built-in card readers
for sites who wish to use a combination of fingerprint and card, or in some cases, offer both
options separately. Depending on the card types offered, Identity models can work as
fingerprint only, card only, card to identify and fingerprint to verify or even fingerprint on card
for local matching only.
