BioRead™ User Capacity
When a user is programmed into the BioRead, that user occupies a place in its memory
known as a User Location.
The IEI BioRead has a 98 User Capacity, which breaks down as:
User Locations 1 thru 90 – fingerprint users only
User Locations 91 thru 98 – Bypass Key users only
How the BioRead™ 1000 fingerprint reader works
when used as a Weigand front-end reader to an IEI eMerge system.
o If a credential is presented to the BioRead 1000, and recognized as a programmed
user, the BioRead will then send the user location number of that credential in
26-bit weigand format through the Data 0 and Data 1.
How the BioRead™ 1000 fingerprint reader works
when used as a front-end reader to an IEI MaxII system.
o The SSIM will convert the weigand data into a format that the MaxII system will
work with
(known as IM FORMAT)
.
o The MaxII system will interpret the data from the SSIM interface module as CARD
DATA.
o This means that the User Location Number sent from the BioRead will only be
interpreted by the MaxII as CARD DATA.
Operation Example:
1. The Right Index Finger of John Smith has been programmed into the BioRead at user location 01.
2. John Smith presents his Right Index Finger to the BioRead.
3. The BioRead recognizes John’s finger.
4. This is indicated by the left hand LED on the BioRead™ turning green.
5. The BioRead sends the number 01 out the D0 and D1 data lines in 26-bit weigand format.
6. The SSIM board translates the 26-bit data from the BioRead into MaxII format.
7. The MaxII sees the CARD NUMBER 01 presented to the front-end reader port.
8. The MaxII recognizes that a CARD NUMBER and initiates an authorized access.
9. This is indicated by the right hand LED on the BioRead turning green.
This means that in order for the BioRead to work with the MaxII system:
o Each user must be programmed into the BioRead, either with a fingerprint or
Bypass Key.
o Each user must also be programmed into the MaxII system.
o
Users programmed into the MaxII system must be programmed as card
users, with the number of their BioRead™ Memory Slot programmed as
their encoded card number.
