BioSync Fingerprint Readers 1.0 Introduction Setting up a B100-S reader as a new installation is a three step process. Each of these steps is covered in its own document: BioManager Software Installation (p/n: 02301-001). CNV Converter Setup (p/n: 02303-001) - (used to connect to the BioSync via ethernet).

BioSync Fingerprint Readers The B-100-S is a Wiegand biometric reader for indoor access control applications. It offers storage of up to 100 fingerprints and has programmable Wiegand output (8 to 128 bits). Configuration of the readers and users is performed using the BioManager soft- ware and is covered further on in this section.
BioSync Fingerprint Readers 2.0 B-100-S Reader Installation Wiring Diagrams Wiring to an NXT Reader Interface Module RM3 Notes: On the Reader Interface Module (RM3) - the J3 jumper should be set to pins 1 and 2. This will provide 12VDC to the BioSync reader and when correctly set, the D10 LED should be solid red.

BioSync Fingerprint Readers IMPORTANT: If you have an NXT 4x4 module connected on the same bus as the BioSync, you MUST use a separate power supply to power the BioSync. The NXT-RIM modules are ONLY supported with the NXT and NXT-MSC controller types.

BioSync Fingerprint Readers EP Controller Notes BioSync readers have two LED lines but the Mercury EP-Series controllers only sup- port one LED line. This is overcome by wiring the Red LED wire into the buzzer pin- out (pin 4) and in Doors.NET you will need to set the BioSync reader as being a Dual LED reader type.

The maximum current draw of the B100-S is approx. 100mA max. When using a separate power supply for the BioSync, connect the GND for both devices to ensure correct transfer of the Wiegand signal.
BioSync Fingerprint Readers 3.0 Add the B100-S Reader to BioManager Once you have installed the BioManager Software, setup the CNV converter, set the reader's DIP switch and added the CNV converter as a portal, you are ready to add the B100-S to the BioManager software.

2. Right-click on the Portal which should already be listed and select Add Reader. 3. The Add Reader window will appear. 4. Enter a description for the BioSync reader. 5. Select the exact model (B100-S) from the Type drop-down list. - 10 - P/N: 02380-001 - Rev C...

BioSync Fingerprint Readers 6. Select the Wiegand output type. Typically for the B100-S this would be left at the default setting of Wiegand26. 7. On the reverse of the BioSync reader (under the mounting bracket), you will see a white label displaying a wiring diagram and the device ID/serial number - you should make a note of this serial number.

BioSync Fingerprint Readers 8. Enter the device ID/serial number. 9. For now, all other settings can be left at their default values. 10. Click the SAVE & EXIT button. 11. In the live events grid you should see an online message for the reader. 12.
BioSync Fingerprint Readers 4.0 Enrolling Users into BioManager 1. Double-click the Users link to open the User window. 2. Click the New User button. 3. Enter a User ID (Cardnumber) - This is the number that will be transmitted by the BioSync to the Doors.NET software - It therefore must be unique to each user.
Page 14
BioSync Fingerprint Readers By doing this you will then not need to enroll another credential into Doors.NET (as the same number will be processed when the fingerprint is verified). 4. Click the SAVE NEW button. 5. The new user is now created. - 14 - P/N: 02380-001 - Rev C...
BioSync Fingerprint Readers 5.0 Enrolling Fingerprints Now that the unique user number has been enrolled, you are ready to enroll user fin- gerprints. The fingerprint is associated with the enrolled User ID number. 1. In the Biometric section, select the reader (left-click) you wish to use for enroll- ment.
Page 16
BioSync Fingerprint Readers 6. Click the SAVE NEW button and the fingerprint(s) will automatically be sent to all online BioSync readers that the user has access to. Example: If the user has “Unlimited” Access level then the fingerprints will be sent to all readers, if the user has Access level only for Reader1 and Reader 3 then the fingerprints will be sent only to those two readers.
BioSync Fingerprint Readers 6.0 Check Communication and Memory Status To check the communication status of a BioSync reader, or to check how many fin- gerprints are enrolled, perform the following steps: 1. Right-click the reader and select 'Memory Status'. 2. In the events grid, a yellow-highlighted line will appear and the enrolled fingerprint count will be displayed.
BioSync Fingerprint Readers 7.0 Deleting Fingerprints In general, the fingerprints are stored in the biometric reader and in the software. Delet- ing can be done only in the readers or from both places. Deleting one User from the Biometric Reader Select the User Click on “Delete User”.
BioSync Fingerprint Readers 8.0 Enrolling the Users into Doors.NET The same user now must be enrolled into Doors.NET (unless the user already exists with an enrolled credential). Assuming this is a brand new installation... so far we have only added the user to the BioManager software and the BioSync reader (not to the con- troller).

BioSync Fingerprint Readers 10. Save the new record 11. If you now gain access at the BioSync reader the reader's LED should go green and you should see an access granted event in the Live Events grid. 12. As previously mentioned, the fingerprint is associated with the User ID/Credential number - this is the number that will appear in Live Events.
