1 Biometric Administration Portal

1.1 Introduction
Biometric Administration Portal (BAP) is a web client responsible for the management of
fingerprints. The client offers enrolment and distribution of templates to L1 4G/4G Lite,
Morpho Sigma or Spica Zone Touch devices, which have IP connectivity.

Biom etric Adm inistration Portal

Important note: The use of biometric information is regulated in many countries. Before
implementing, please make sure you are familiar with biometric information regulations in
your country.

2.1.3 L1 4G V-Flex/4G V-Flex Lite


Power supply

4G devices

Use an external power supply that provides a minimum of 1A at 12VDC PER DEVICE. The
power supply should be regulated, filtered, and dedicated to L-1 EAS products only. If sharing
power between devices, be sure that each device receives 1A (e.g. two devices would
require a 12VDC, 2A supply). For more information, see 4G Quick Start Guide.

Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

When the device is powered over Ethernet, an IEEE 802.3af compliant Active Midspan
Injector must be used. This injector is not supplied with Bioscrypt products.

4G Lite devices

Use an external power supply that provides a minimum of 1A at 12VDC PER DEVICE. The
power supply should be regulated, filtered, and dedicated to L-1 EAS products only. If sharing
power between devices, be sure that each device receives 1A (e.g. two devices would
require a 12VDC, 2A supply). For more information, see 4G Lite Quick Start Guide.

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) - (for 4G CR-Pass only)

When the device is powered over Ethernet, an IEEE 802.3af compliant Active Midspan
Injector must be used. This injector is not supplied with L-1 EAS products.

Important: Under powering may cause memory and data corruption; over powering may
cause hardware damage. Both of these situations will void the warranty.

Data transfer over Wiegand protocol

When connected over Wiegand protocol, 4G device acts like an external reader in the
Time&Space system. The protocol itself is communicating in one direction and needs only two
wires for transferring ID number with a parity check.

Connecting 4G device with DOX controller

Table 1 shows wiring relations for connecting 4G device as an external reader on channel 1
(Reader 1) on the DOX controller. To connect to a different channel, adjust the block
parameters according to the DOX schema.

Table 1

In case when a 4G device does not have an internal reader you can connect an external
reader. Table 2 shows wiring relations for connecting an external HID reader to the 4G
device. For other readers please see respective installation manual.

Table 2

In previous situation when you have an external reader connected to the 4G device (Table 2)
in combination with a DOX controller, you can also connect reader signalization LEDs (Table
3). Now the user can see directly the on reader if the verification of the badge with fingerprint
was successful on the DOX level.

2.1.3.1 4G V-Flex configuration


To perform the configuration you need to install SecureAdmin software, connect and power
up a device. See SecureAdmin user's manual for more details. The following settings apply for
both modes (Identification, Verification).

Extended ID mode

In case when card numbers are 33-bits or greater, reader needs to be set to Extended ID
mode for enrolment and operation, because additional parity bits and facility/site codes are
included. This is done by settings Input Wiegand Format to appropriate format.

Go to Device Settings\Wiegand tab on the desired device, choose Predefined check box
under Set Wiegand Format To and select a proper Wiegand format in the drop-down list.
You can use predefined Generic 64 format or create and select a custom one.

Setting reader to Extended ID m ode

Important: If template is enrolled on a device which does not have extended id enabled,
then this template can only be uploaded to such devices. Upload to device with enabled
extended id is not possible.

PK Lite (Native mode)

Morpho Sigma devices

There are three types of templates supported by Morpho product:

PK Lite (Native mode)


J Series legacy mode (Legacy Morpho mode)
L-1 Bioscrypt 4G Series (Legacy L1 mode)

Warning: Currently only PK Lite template type is supported on Morpho Simga in the
application.

L1 4G/4G Lite devices

There are five types of templates supported by L-1 Identity Solutions products:

1:1 Template (.tem)


1:200 Searching Template (.mtm)
1:500 Searching Template (.tms)
User Record (.vur)
Biometric User Record (.bur)

1:1 TEMPLATE OR 348-BYTE TEMPLATES

A 348-byte template (*.tem) contains a unique ID, which is usually associated with a single
individual. If multiple enrolments for additional fingers of the same person are required, the
same ID is used but a unique index value (0-255) is assigned to each enrolment under that
ID. It is important to note that multiple indexes for the same ID are still considered individual
and separate templates.

1:200 SEARCHING TEMPLATES

A 1:200 searching template (*.mtm) contains the entire 1:1 template, which is 348 bytes,
with the addition of 2004 bytes of data needed for searching functionality, making the total
length of 1:200 searching template 2352 bytes. When the device mode is configured for
1:200 MTM, the device will have a maximum capacity of 200 templates.

1:500 SEARCHING TEMPLATES

1:500 searching template (*.tms) contains the entire 1:1 template, which is 348 bytes, with
the addition of 2140 bytes of data needed for searching functionality, making the total length
of this searching template 2488 bytes. When the device mode is configured for 1:500 TMS,
the device will have a maximum capacity of 500 templates.

USER RECORDS

A User Record (*.vur) includes these elements:

Global data - This is information relevant to the entire record, such as user ID, name,
password, etc. Some fields are “required”while others are “optional.”The User ID field, for
example, is required.
Enrolment data - This is data pertaining only to a particular finger. It is a section of data
that contains compressed fingerprint information along with specific information relating to
that enrolment, such as which sensor was used, which finger was enrolled, the security
level for the finger, and the index. A User Record can contain more than one enrolled finger
when stored on the device.
User data - This is a user defined variable length block of data that can either be global or
enrolment specific. Data in this block is accessed all at once, rather than being divided into
separately named fields.

BIOMETRIC USER RECORDS

The Biometric User Record can be utilized on the 4G products for the following authentication
purposes:

1:1 Verification (fingerprint devices)


1:10K Identification (fingerprint devices)
1:50K Identification (fingerprint devices)
1:5K Identification (4G Lite devices)
