A, G and V-Station A, H). A searching version (V-Station A, S) is also available. In

addition, this is the first product to offer built-in Ethernet support, and is by far the

most flexible of the available devices.

All of the Veri-Series readers are stand-alone or network readers that perform

enrollment and verification and provide standard communication options that

enable it to be easily incorporated into access control systems.

The response time is less than 5 seconds for fingerprint enrollment and less than

one second for fingerprint verification. The system is compact, versatile, and can

be configured in a variety of ways. The readers support the industry-standard

Wiegand interface that can be used to connect to most any door controller or

alarm panel. The unit supports RS-232 for administration through a PC connection,

and it also supports RS-485 for multiple-unit operation and administration. The V-

Station also supports administration over an Ethernet network.

The Bioscrypt products use the latest generation of solid-state (chip) fingerprint

scanners or sensors. This type of sensor is being provided by a variety of

electronics manufacturers and the Veri-Series products are the only devices to be

compatible with a variety of sensors – this is Bioscrypt’s sensor interoperability.

The following paragraphs refer to operation and administration of the V-Prox

device, however the same functions can be performed through the VeriAdmin

software provided, or through the keypad on a V-Station.

The operation of the V-Prox is very simple: a user places or waves their card near

the V-Prox unit, the unit prompts the user to place their finger on the sensor

(communication is by means of a multi-colored LED), the V-Prox then reads the

fingerprint and compares it to a stored record of the user. If the comparison yields

a high degree of match, the user fingerprint is accepted and the user’s ID number

is transmitted to the access control unit over the Wiegand connection. If the

match fails, then either nothing is sent to the controller or a failure code is sent so

that the controller can log failed access attempts. The controller unlocks the door

for the user if the user has access. Therefore, the procedure is simple: present a

card, place finger, and open the door. The whole process takes less than 5

seconds.

Administration of the V-Prox is also simple. Any number of cards can be set up as

Enroll or Delete cards. These cards are maintained by the system administrator(s)

responsible for the access control system (one or more cards can be kept off-site

for added safety). To enroll a new user within a V-Prox unit, present an Enroll card,

verify the fingerprint of an authorized Enroller, present an unused card, and finally

place the finger of the user on the system. The user is now enrolled in this V-Prox

unit. If the installation has multiple V-Prox units you will have to either repeat this
