PIN While fingerprint authentication will be the main usage the other two types of authentication are provided to handle exceptions such as in the case of persons having severely callous fingerprints By handling such exceptions you would then be able to use the device for the entire spectrum of people in your organization We will now take a look at how the various authentication modes can be performed 45 Performing Authentication with the BioPointe 5 1 Performing Fingerprint Authentication There are 4 ways to perform fingerprint matching The first is to use the keypad to enter your full ID The second is to present your full ID to the BioPointe through the hidden card reader by flashing the card across the device These 2 methods are also known as one to one matching verification The third method is to use Quick Search This method also uses the keypad but eliminates the need of having to enter your full ID Only 2 or more digits of your ID are sufficient to tell the device to search for a match The last method is to use one to many matching or identification where no ID is required to be entered However the user should note that this method is carried out at a higher level of security and hence may be more difficult to match successfully for reasons such as the finger was not well enrolled initially or when it was not placed well on the sensor One to One Matching using the Keypad 1 Using the numeric keys enter yo

59. t powerful features provided by the BioPointe 15 Features Multiple Fingerprint Verification In usual operation the BioPointe only matches a single fingerprint to successfully pass a verification process However it can be configured to match two or even three fingerprints before a verification process can be considered as successful In such a mode the user has to enroll this ID with the same number of fingerprints that it is matching with or more For example if the BioPointe is configured to match two fingerprints this ID must be enrolled with at least two fingerprint templates If it is configured to match three fingerprints three fingerprint templates must be enrolled During the matching process the fingerprints that are provided need not be in the order that they were enrolled Note that the three fingerprint templates that were enrolled for a particular ID can come from the same person or from up to three different persons This powerful feature allows the BioPointe to be deployed in areas of higher security where more than one person is required to authenticate Note that for master authentication only one fingerprint matching is required Quick Search In a usual verification process the user enters his or her full ID The BioPointe provides a feature where you only need to enter a trailing part of your ID to activate a match Hence if your ID is 1234 you only need to press 34 to begin matching the BioPointe
