2. High Security mode can only be accessed using Verid Manager 6 3 Tips when using biometric systems Biometric systems measure a unique characteristic of an individual In general these characteristics are not absolutely fixed and vary with time For example temperature and humidity affect the size and shape of fingers lighting viewing angle and mood affect a person s face etc Consequently a biometric system has to make a judgement about how well a measurement template compares with a previously stored template The accuracy and reliability of the fingerprint verification process can be improved by ensuring the fingers are placed consistently in the case of Verid placed down onto the platen towards the top of the finger guide Examples of good and bad finger placement are shown below Figure 6 Good finger position Figure 7 Bad finger position Figure 8 Bad finger position straight and in contact with the back finger not pushed back fully finger rotated of the finger guide Do The finger should cover the glass area with the finger just touching the end of the fingerguide The finger should be pressed reasonably firmly straight down Don t Do NOT slide the finger into the guide Do NOT put the finger into the guide as shown in Figure 7 or Figure 8 Do not press excessively hard it s not necessary N B If some users have persistent problems with successful verification then they should be re trained and

4. In this mode Verid will internally store templates against a pseudo PIN that it has generated internally The pseudo PIN is unique but may have no obvious relationship with the PIN as reported by the host access control system This is because Verid has no knowledge of the data format etc of the incoming data 4 3 4 1 Compatible intelligent Wiegand formats If the reader output is intelligent Wiegand the only constraint is that the total number of bits on the pseudo Wiegand card be less than or equal to 64 bits In this mode Verid will not interpret the data and therefore requires no knowledge of the data format However the consequence of this is that Verid does not perform any checks on the integrity of the data its content or format It is assumed the intelligent reader will have made these checks When the intelligent reader has a Wiegand output the 0 and 1 lines should be connected to the terminals in J7 Using Verid Manager Verid can be configured to extract a PIN number from the input Wiegand bit stream There are four ways of configuring Verid when dealing with intelligent readers 1 ignore leading zeros i e PIN number is derived using whatever is left from the incoming data once all leading zeros are stripped from the data 2 take bit pattern exactly as received i e PIN number is derived using every single incoming bit 3 use exactly n bi

11. 2 Connecting power Power is connected to the OV and 12V terminals on J2 The input voltage should be in the range 10V to 14V and current consumption of Verid only is approx 250mA Use a power supply capable of delivering 500 mA to ensure trouble free operation The Verid unit can supply 5V and 12V to an external PIN device see section 4 9 The maximum current available on the 5V supply to drive external devices is 100 mA The maximum 12V output current is only limited by the power supply used check the power supply used has adequate capacity In order to meet the safety requirements of EN60950 Verid should be powered from an SELV supply When the unit is powered up Verid will initially cycle through a self test sequence to determine the network and configuration status This is described in section 8 3 Once this test is complete the display will indicate that Verid is in Super User mode Figure 5 Power applied to Verid 4 3 Connecting a PIN device Verid has been designed to support PIN entry from a variety of devices track 2 card readers proximity readers keypads with Wiegand or track 2 outputs Watermark and Wiegand readers Directions for connecting each type of reader and details of the compatible card formats are given in the following sections All new Verid units are delivered to accept input from a Wiegand input device The default setting of O bits allows readers with various bit lengths to be used
