You can configure the user authentication settings of the device.
Note
▪ | Editable fields vary depending on the device type. |
1) | Edit all fields of the Authentication tab. |

|
Auth Mode
|
You can configure the authentication modes of the device. BioStar 2 can use any combinations of fingerprint, ID, card, and password as authentication modes.
▪ | Click + Add and create an authentication mode by dragging and dropping available options. Select a schedule and click OK to register the authentication mode. If no desired schedule is available, click + Add Schedule to create it. |
▪ | For more information on configuring schedules, see Schedules. |

Full Access
|
You can grant full access to users registered within the device without setting any access groups.
|

|
Auth Timeout
|
When using a combination of multiple credentials in Auth Mode, the system waits for this length of time to authenticate the second credential.
Set a timeout period for authenticating the second credential after authenticating the first credential. If the second credential is not authenticated within this time, the authentication fails.

|
Fingerprint
|
You can configure the detail settings concerning fingerprint authentication.
▪ | 1:N Security Level: You can set a security level to use for fingerprint authentication. The higher the security level is set, the false rejection rate (FRR) gets higher, but the false acceptance rate (FAR) gets lower. |
▪ | Scan Timeout: You can set a fingerprint scan timeout period. If the fingerprint is not scanned within the set time, the authentication fails. |
▪ | Sensor Sensitivity: You can set a sensitivity level of the fingerprint recognition sensor. Set the sensor sensitivity higher if you wish to use a higher sensor sensitivity level and obtain more detailed fingerprint information. |
▪ | 1:N Fast Mode: You can set the fingerprint authentication speed. Select Auto to have the authentication speed configured according to the total amount of fingerprint templates registered within the device. |
▪ | Template Format: You can view the fingerprint template format. |
▪ | Matching Timeout: You can set the matching timeout period. If the authentication is not completed within the set time, the authentication fails. |
BioStation 2 has the following advanced fingerprint features:
▪ | View Image: Displays the image of the fingerprint on the screen during the authentication process. |
▪ | Sensor Mode: If the option is set to Auto On, the sensor will automatically go on when it detects a finger. If the option is set to Always On, the sensor will always be on. |
▪ | Advanced Enrollment: Checks the quality of the scanned fingerprint to avoid the poor quality fingerprint template enrollment. The user will be alerted when the quality of the fingerprint scanned is low and given enrollment instructions. |

Card ID Format
|
You can set the data processing format or byte order of the card.
▪ | Format Type: If the option is set to Normal, the device will read the card serial number (CSN). If the option is set to Wiegand, the device will read the card serial number in a Wiegand format that the user has defined. |
▪ | Byte Order: You can set the byte order to use when processing data on the card. When the option is set to MSB, the device reads a card ID from the highest byte to the lowest byte. For example, the highest byte of the card ID 0x12345678 is 0x12 and the device sequentially reads 0x12, 0x34, 0x56 and 0x78. When the option is set to LSB, the device reads a card ID from the lowest byte to the highest byte. |
|
Note
▪ | Changing the fingerprint template format makes all previously stored fingerprints unusable. Be sure to select the correct template format before registering user fingerprints. |
▪ | If Full Access is set to Enable, the device cannot be added to an Access Level. |
2) | Click Apply to save the settings. |
