BioAxs 9750™ Installation & Operations Manual. Version 1.9
Introduction
Biometric Access Control
A computerized method used to identify people based on their unique physical characteristics
before granting access to secure facilities.
Why biometric access control is better
Today, more than ever before, it's important to know that only authorized people are in your
secure areas. NextgenID biometric access control products provide secure, affordable access
control for all security needs.
Far superior to pin numbers or card systems, which can be shared or stolen, biometrics utilize a
person's unique physical characteristics to identify the user. NextgenID biometric identification
and verification systems ensure that only legitimate members can enter your secure area.
NextgenID BioAxs multi-biometric hardware and software platform allows users to choose what
biometric technologies they want to deploy at each point to be secured. The BioAxs 9750™ is
part of the NextgenID BioAxs™ family of multi-biometric, multi-modal access control panels and
utilizes both fingerprint and iris biometrics.
Modular / Scalable
The modular, multi-biometric BioAxs solution is designed to treat each biometric component as a
verification or identification device within the scalable framework of a particular door's security
requirements. NextgenID hardware and algorithm neutrality allow particular algorithms and
sensors to be easily integrated to meet customer requirements.
Multi-Modal Authentication Protocol
The BioAxs 9750™ provides multi-modal authentication modes meaning the facilities access
control administrator can adjust the access protocol necessary to obtain entry to the protected
facility. Combining traditional access control methods such as card readers, PIN Entry devices
with the latest in biometric authentication technology, the BioAxs 9750™ provides a robust
access control solution to a variety of threat conditions present in today's environment.
Flexible Authentication Protocols
The BioAxs 9750 system can be configured as an "and" system that requires traditional
credentials such as card or pin and fingerprint biometric for access to be granted. The BioAxs
9750™ can also be configured as an "or" system that allows users to authenticate with their card,
pin or fingerprint.
Threat Level Scalability
Based on the current perceived level of threat to a given facility, the BioAxs 9750™ system allows
the access control administrator to configure predefined operating configurations for the access
panels. As threat conditions increase the level of the security for a facility, the panel behavior
may be 'scaled up' to require additional credentials for granting access. Examples of these
techniques include: combining a proximity card and biometric before granting access.
FingerMatch™ fingerprint matching technology
FingerMatch™ uses both global (features that are discernible by the naked eye) and local (tiny,
unique characteristics of fingerprint ridges) feature analysis to match a fingerprint. Based on
these distinct features, fingerprints are given a unique set of numbers, which are sent to a
