BioSync Fingerprint Readers 1.0 Introduction Setting up a KBF-2SC reader on 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 eth-...

2.0 Set the Correct Card Type The KBF-2SC is a combination fingerprint and proximity (Mifare) card reader. It is con- figurable via a dip switch (located on the rear of the unit). You can use dip switch 1 to cov- ert between a 7 byte UID (56 bit CSN) or a 4 byte UID (32 bit CSN).
Note: On the reverse of the KBF-2SC you will see a white label which displays a wiring dia- gram and the device ID/serial number - you should make a note of this serial number as it is required during setup.
BioSync Fingerprint Readers 4.0 Wiring Instructions Wiring to the NXT RM3 (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 PXL Notes: On the PXL-500W controller, the JP5 jumper should be set to pins 1 and 2 - this will provide 12VDC to the BioSync and on the PXL-500W LED10 will be solid red. Wiring to an EP Controller (i.e EP-1502) EP Controller Notes BioSync readers have two LED lines but the EP controller reader ports only have one LED input.

When using a separate power supply for the BioSync, connect the Ground for both devices to ensure correct transfer of the Wiegand signal. The current draw of the BioSync KBF-2SC is 200mA max. When you have connected the reader to the controller and applied power, the BioSync LED bar should flash amber and the reader will beep twice.

BioSync Fingerprint Readers 5.0 Add the KBF-2SC to BioManager The next section assumes that you have already installed the BioManager software and setup the CNV converter as a portal, only then will you be able to add the BioSync reader to the BioManager software.
4. Enter a description for the KBF-2SC. 5. Select the exact model (KBF-2SC) from the Type drop-down list. 6. Select the Wiegand output type - typically for the KBF-2SC this should be left at the default setting of Wiegand26. - 9 -...

32-bit Card Serial Number (CSN). 7. On the reverse of the KBF-2SC you will see a white label which displays a wiring dia- gram and the unique device ID/serial number - you should make a note of this 9- digit number.

12. You are now ready to start adding users and fingerprints. 6.0 Adding and Defining a New Wiegand Format The KBF-2SC features an adjustable Wiegand protocol, allowing you to add a custom Wie- gand format (from 8-128 bits in length). There are two default formats (standard 26-bit and standard 34-bit) and 3 custom formats.

BioSync Fingerprint Readers 7.0 Enrolling 32 bit Mifare (CSN) Credentials The following section explains how to add a 32-bit Mifare Card Serial Number (CSN). However, because the unique number is not printed on the card you first need to find out what the number is.

BioSync Fingerprint Readers 11. If you present the Mifare card to the reader, Live Events should give you the unique Mifare number. 12. Keep a note of this number as it will be used for enrollment. 8.0 Enrolling the Credential Into BioManager 1.
BioSync Fingerprint Readers 9.0 Enrolling Fingerprints Now that the credential has been enrolled, you are ready to enroll user fingerprints. The fingerprint is associated with the enrolled User ID number, this means if the reader is in Fingerprint-Only mode the same card number will be transmitted when the fingerprint is verified (the same as with all other reader modes) - There is not a separate enrolled num- ber associated with the fingerprint.

BioSync Fingerprint Readers 6. Place the finger on the sensor of the BioSync. 7. Leave the finger on the sensor for approx 2 seconds and you will hear a beep and see a momentary red LED . 8. In BioManager the small circle on the diagram will be red and there will be a number which indicates the verification % of the fingerprint.

BioSync Fingerprint Readers 9. Ensure the percentage is 75% or greater, then click the SAVE button. 10. The fingerprint will now be assigned to the user record and you will be able to use the BioSync in all three reader modes. 10.0 Changing the BioSync Reader Mode The following steps explain how to change the user authentication operating mode of the reader.
Page 19
BioSync Fingerprint Readers 11.0 Enrolling the Users into Doors.NET The same users now need to be added to Doors.NET because so far, the users only exist on the BioSync reader, (not at the controller). In this example the BioSync reader is wired into an NXT-MSC controller but the same setup procedure applies to all controller types.

BioSync Fingerprint Readers 9. Go to the Access Rights tab and assign an access group to the new cardholder (i.e Total Access). 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.
