Networking and Communications
HandReader networking and communications can be configured in one of five
ways:
•
•
•
•
•
Stand-alone
When installed as a stand-alone access control system there is no
HandReader
communication wiring to other HandReaders or to a host computer. Power
input and control output wiring are all that are required. An RS-232 serial
printer output is available for event logging (refer to the Printer section on 29).
Schlage Biometrics highly recommends using Backhand™ software to backup
template information stored in the HandReader.
Master or
Multiple HandReaders can be linked together in a HandReader network.

Network
•
The master/remote network requires user enrollment at the "master"
HandReader. The master HandReader distributes hand template data with ID
numbrs and time restrictions (if any) to the other HandReaders in the network.
Users removed at the master HandReader are automatically removed from
the remote readers. A printer connected to the master HandReader will report
transactions from all Handreaders on the network.
Remote
Multiple HandReaders can be linked to a presonal computer (PC) for an
HandReader
integrated access control network. Real time monitoring of door status and
in a a variety of alarm types can be done with Schlage Biometrics' HandNet for
HandReader Windows™ (Schlage Biometrics model number HN-300) software. To run
Network HandNet for Windows™, the computer must be PC compatible, using a
Connected to Pentium™-166 or faster microprocessor and it must have a CD-ROM.
a Host PC
•
as a stand-alone HandReader
as a master or remote HandReader in a HandReader network
as a remote HandReader in a HandReader network connected to a host
PC
as a remote network connected via optional Modem to host PC
as a remote network connected via optional Ethernet to host PC
Up to 32 HandReaders can be linked together on a 2-wire RS-485 or
4-wire RS-422 network (see Figure 3-1).
Two twisted-pair, shielded, AWG 22 (or larger) wire should be used
(Schlage Biometrics recommends Belden 82732 or its equivalent).
The wiring must be a "daisy-chain" network from HandReader to
HandReader and must not exceed 4,000 feet (1220 meters) in total length.
The HandNet software can monitor over 1,000 HandReaders
simultaneously.
