BioEntry Plus (V1.2 or later)
- BioEntry Plus is an IP-based access
control device that includes both fingerprint recognition and entry via
access card. The device can be controlled independently via command
cards or managed entirely via the BioStar interface. BioEntry Plus can be
connected to electric door strikes via an internal relay or used with the
Secure I/O device for extra security and expanded capability.
•
SFR300 USB
- The SFR300 USB device is a fingerprint
scanner that can be used for convenient user enrollment. Installing
the device is simple: plug it into a USB connection on any
computer that is connected to the BioStar server and install a driver.
•
Secure I/O
- The Secure I/O device provides a convenient way to
increase the security of externally mounted devices or expand the
capabilities of your system. When doors are controlled by a secure
I/O device, intruders cannot open doors even if they succeed in
uninstalling external devices. To further increase security, the
secure I/O device provides encrypted communications between door
components. The Secure I/O device has four input switches and two output relays to
allow control of multiple components with a single device.

Logical Configuration
BioStar is a distributed intelligence system. Instead of the complex wiring and
centralized control required by conventional access control systems, Suprema's
access control devices can be connected via TCP/IP or wirelessly to a local area
network or connected directly via serial connections. User information, access
rules, and other data can be distributed to each device to speed up authorization
time and provide continual operation even when the connection to the network
is lost.
