Terminal States
Identification, Authentication or Multi-factor mode: waiting for a finger or a card
In identification mode, the terminal is waiting for a finger to be placed on the biometric
sensor.
In Authentication mode, the terminal is waiting for a user’s card close to the embedded
contactless smartcard reader.
In multi-factor mode, the identification mode and one of the authentication modes are
activated simultaneously. Then the terminal is expecting a finger on the biometric sensor
or a card close to the smartcard reader.
Authentication mode, after presentation of a card, waiting for a finger or biometric data
acquisition of the finger is in progress
After reading a user’s card, the terminal emits this signal while waiting for a finger or when the
acquisition of the biometric data of the finger placed on the sensor is in process. Do not remove
the finger while this signal is emitted.
Identification: Finger detected, Acquisition of biometric data of the finger is in process
After detection of a finger on the biometric sensor, the terminal emits this signal during the
entire biometric data acquisition process. Do not remove the finger while this signal is emitted.
Identification or Authentication: database blank or absent
This signal is emitted when, the activated mode requires a database but the database is either
not created or is empty.
Proxy mode - waiting for distant system command
When the proxy mode is enabled and the terminal is expecting a command from the distant
system.
Incorrect finger position
The terminal emits this signal when the position of the finger on the biometric sensor is not
good enough, for an image capture. Please remove the finger from the biometric sensor and
follow the recommendations detailed in “Finger Placement Recommendation” section.
