Getting started with ievo biometric solutions 2] WELCOME TO BIOMETRICS Thank you for choosing CDVI Ltd. and the ievo brand as your provider of biometric security solutions. Your new fingerprint reader(s) will offer a safe, reliable system to assist with your access control and /or time and attendance system. Although very simple to use, this guide will ensure you obtain the maximum benefits of your products.

Human Rights laws. Note: Before using your ievo system, please ensure that all required software and drivers have been correctly installed and set up by your installation provider. Should you have any technical issues or concerns please speak to your supplier or installation provider as the first line of contact.
The difference is due to the size of the sensor’s scanning areas on the two devices. Once you have installed the ievo registration software* and are ready to register new users, make sure you follow these steps to ensure effective registration using either the ievo ultimate desktop reader or the ievo micro desktop reader.

Approaching the device from a ‘sitting’ position during registration will provide a different reading from that of an elevated position which may cause identification errors. For further instructions on how to enrol a user using the ievo registration software please see page 10. ievo ultimate desktop reader: Present finger to sensor...

7] USING ievo AS A CARD READER CARD READER FUNCTION ievo fingerprint readers can be upgraded with a card reader module to allow for combined use of both biometrics data and security cards. Using the HID iCLASS SE™ reader module you will be able to utilise existing card reader systems through ievo reader units.

USER GUIDE Getting started with ievo biometric solutions However you are using the card reading functions on your ievo reader, the process is the same: Present card to ievo reader’s ‘halo’. If required, present finger to the sensor on the ievo reader.
USER GUIDE Getting started with ievo biometric solutions 7] ADMINISTRATION GUIDE User’s fingerprint is not being recognised? 1. Ensure that the user has a registered profile with an active fingerprint template. This can be checked through your registration software.

4. The ievo reader’s ‘halo’ button is flashing white. This indicates that the ievo reader is re-establishing a connection with the ievo Control Board and should function as normal once the halo has returned to the normal blue LED light.
6. Is there excessive dirt or debris on your finger? Although ievo readers can scan through levels of dirt and debris, having a ‘clean’ finger will always increase the effectiveness of the reader.

Is my fingerprint stored on a database? If so, who has access to my information? Fingerprint images are not stored. An ievo reader scans a finger and collates a range of different identifying reference points. These reference points are converted to a template and stored on an ievo Control Board.
9] PROBLEM FINGERPRINTS What is a ‘problem fingerprint’? While the vast majority of fingerprints can be used with ievo fingerprint readers there are a few occasions where some fingerprints can be tricky to capture. These instances usually occur when a finger has been heavily damaged causing permanent surface and subsurface skin abrasions.
10] DATA PROTECTION What happens when my fingerprint is scanned? When registering as a user, an ievo reader will scan your fingerprint and a connected ievo Control Board will use an extraction algorithm to identify specific features within your fingerprint called minutiae. Identified minutiae points are categorised into groups, which include line bifurcations and ridge endings amongst other data groups.
Page 20
An advanced algorithm is used to extract specific fingerprint data captured after a scan. This data is stored on an ievo Control Board using a unique proprietary template format. The stored template is unique to an individual and the template is only accessed for identification purposes by the ievo Control Board.
Behavioural characteristics are related to the pattern of behaviour of a person, including but not limited to, typing rhythm, gait, and voice. At ievo Ltd we solely focus on the fingerprint physiological classifications of biometrics as a means of authentication and identity.
