Multi-factor mode
In this mode, the "identification" and "authentication" modes are available
simultaneously; the user decides which control method will be used:
by placing his finger on the sensor, thereby triggering the identification process,
by placing his contactless card on the reader, thereby triggering the authentication
process,
This is the default mode for terminals fitted with a contactless smartcard reader.
For further information, please see the "Multi-factors method" section in the
MorphoAccess® SIGMA Extreme Series Administration Guide.
Proxy mode
The Proxy mode is an operating mode where the access control main application is
located in a distant system. This is not a standalone mode like Identification and
Authentication modes.
It means that the terminal becomes a slave of the host system application. The access
control application is running on the host system and uses MorphoAccess® SIGMA
Extreme Series terminal high level functions:
•
Identification function
•
Authentication function
•
Read data on a contactless card
•
Access control result signal command
The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Extreme Series terminal is driven through an Ethernet (or
Wi-Fi™) link using TCP, SSL or TLS protocol.
The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Extreme Series terminal acts as a server: it is either waiting
for a command or executing a command.
The commands allowed by the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Extreme Series terminal are
described in the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Extreme Series Host System Interface
Specification document.
For further details about SSL or TLS on the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Extreme Series
terminal, please refer to the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Extreme Series Administration
Guide.
External database mode (also called polling mode)
When external database mode is activated, the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Extreme Series
terminal does not verify user template in its local database. This mode is useful when
the user templates are stored in external database.
