Biometric Timeout
This parameter defines the duration within which the user needs to place finger on the
biometric sensor of the terminal. If user fails to place the finger within that period, the access is
rejected.
In case of biometric authentication process, after User ID acquisition, the terminal lights on the
backlight of the biometric sensor to request the user to place his finger on the sensor. This
parameter applies to the wait time for user's finger.
In case of biometric identification process, if user’s finger is not recognized, the user has 5
seconds to place again one of his fingers on the biometric sensor. If a finger is placed on the
sensor after this delay, then the terminal processes it as a new access request.
The value of this delay is defined by a dedicated parameter:
