Introduction to How Fingerprint Scanners Work. In this article, we'll examine the secrets behind this exciting development in law enforcement and identity security.

We'll also see how fingerprint scanner security systems stack up to conventional password and identity card systems, and find out how they can fail. Fingerprint Basics. People have tiny ridges of skin on their fingers because this particular adaptation was extremely advantageous to the ancestors of the human species.

The pattern of ridges and "valleys" on fingers make it easier for the hands to grip things, in the same way a rubber tread pattern helps a tire grip the road. The other function of fingerprints is a total coincidence. Like everything in the human body, these ridges form through a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The genetic code in DNA gives general orders on the way skin should form in a developing fetus, but the specific way it forms is a result of random events.

The exact position of the fetus in the womb at a particular moment and the exact composition and density of surrounding amniotic fluid decides how every individual ridge will form.

So, in addition to the countless things that go into deciding your genetic make-up in the first place, there are innumerable environmental factors influencing the formation of the fingers. Just like the weather conditions that form clouds or the coastline of a beach, the entire development process is so chaotic that, in the entire course of human history, there is virtually no chance of the same exact pattern forming twice. Consequently, fingerprints are a unique marker for a person, even an identical twin.

And while two prints may look basically the same at a glance, a trained investigator or an advanced piece of software can pick out clear, defined differences. Table of Contents. Previous Page.

Clean the sensor occasionally with microfiber cloth to maintain the perform- ance of the sensor.

In addition, some fingerprint terminals are made to accept card verification as an added security measure. The terminal acts as a tool to collect attendance data. For a processing of attendance data, FingerTec is providing a powerful time management soft- ware, to process data and provide accurate and reliable attendance reports. Fingerprint Sensor To scan finger for confirmation of identity.

Speaker For terminal voice emission. Reset Button T o restart the terminal as and when required. Page 8: Main Menu Keypad To input instructions into the terminal and to allow configuration. Navigation Keys To navigatien and input command to terminal. Reset Button To restart the terminal as and when required. Main Menu Enroll users, manage user data and input workcode. Set security password of the device for a secure data transfer. Configure the settings of the FingerTec terminals from general to display setting to fingerprint.

Data management, update via USB flash disk, keyboard functions, reset and other terminal settings can be done here. Adjust the date and time settings of the terminal. Run tests on the FingerTec terminal to diagnose the terminal on various aspects. Check user attendance and transaction logs that are available in FingerTec termi- nals and perform housekeeping of the machine. You can disable the but- ton to avoid accidental shut off of the terminal.

Battery FingerTec terminals operate using power supply from a standard power outlet. In- side each terminal, there is an RTC battery to keep the clock of the terminal running. When there is a serious delay in time or the clock of the terminal reverts to after restarting, this indicates that the RTC needs to be replaced.

Charge the mini UPS sufficiently for optimum performance. Choose the date and time format based on your preference. Voice Control Voice Control lets you control the level of volume emitted by the terminal. The security password known as COM Key is intended for extra security. To connect the terminal with the software, the COM key inserted in the Software must be the same as the one inserted in the termi- nal or else the connection will not be established even though the activation key and product key are correctly inserted.

Do not use any liquids, household clean- ers, aerosol spray, solvents, alcohol, ammonia and abrasive solutions to clean the body of the terminal because it could damage it.

For the non-coated prism, please use microfiber cloth. Resetting the terminal will cause all your settings to return to the original factory settings. This chapter covers all possible user enrollments in the terminals. One template is the default fingerprint and another is used as for backup. You need to check the quality of the finger- print before doing any fingerprint enrollment.

It is important to locate the center points of the finger because the center points has to be placed in the middle of the scanner during enrollment to get a good reading. You also have to make sure that the fingers are not too wet or too dry for enrollment.

MiFare and HID card modules are available upon request. PASSword eNrollmeNt The terminal offers different enrolment methods, and passwords can be used alone or in combination with other verification methods.

The maximum length of a password is 8 digits. Place your finger properly on the scanner and the terminal will take a second to verify your identity. However the terminal cannot be immediately used with Webster or TimeTec. Users will need to register with FingerTec and we will provide you with a firmware to update the terminal upon registration. We have recently released a new fingerprint algorithm, BioBridge VX With the new firmware, you may transfer the fingerprint templates using the USB pen drive directly into another terminal.

To transfer the fingerprint templates using the USB pen drive, go to the Pen Drive Management at the terminal, insert the pen drive and select Download User. After the download is completed, remove the pen drive and insert to the other intended terminal.

You can transfer fingerprints using the USB pen drive among the black and white display terminals but not to the multimedia terminals, which runs on the BioBridge VX To upload BioBridge VX9. In event that you would like to enroll the fingerprint using a multimedia terminal and later transfer the fingerprint template to a black and white display terminal, you will need to configure the multimedia terminal into BioBridge VX 9.

Please take note that the BioBridge VX The templates derived from the BioBridge VX9. Initiated by: Henry Pang. Written by: Vincent Chan.

Connecting the H2i with an AdapTec Plus. With the recent release of our new product AdapTec Plus, many might wonder what is the role of AdapTec Plus in supporting the terminal. The AdapTec plus is a combination of a power supply with enhanced access control functionalities. With the data encryption, the life span of the terminals can be prolonged without the risk of short-circuiting.

The latest firmware is available for download here. To assist our resellers further, we have prepared a simple step-by-step instruction to guide you through the setup of connecting the H2i with the AdapTec Plus. Connecting the H2i to the AdapTec Plus. To connect the H2i to the AdapTec Plus, please refer to the below diagram.
