Enhancement in Suprema Mobile Credential Usage in 2.7.14

Overview

In the former BioStar 2, there were various limitation to register device through the Mobile Credential application and use. For example, if the user currently had devices in the running BioStar 2 server and wanted to use Suprema Mobile Access, then they had to reset the device, remove it from BioStar 2 server, and re-configure all settings back after they setup Mobile Credential settings. So Suprema improved Mobile Credential feature for user convenience in BioStar 2.7.14.

The name of Suprema Mobile Credential will be changed to Suprema Mobile Access. Both of Suprema Mobile Credential and Suprema Mobile Access are a Service Name. Since 27-April-2020, Suprema will update the of the mobile app to Airfob Pass and update the name of the portal from Mobile Credential Portal to Airfob Portal.

This article is for indicating the updated feature of Suprema Mobile Credential in BioStar v2.7.14.

What features of Suprema Mobile Access (Credential) updated in BioStar v2.7.14 is:

1) When you set 'Use' the Mobile Credential Set, then 'Site ID', 'Password', and 'Email' are essentially required to input.


2) After inserting all items, 'Connect' button is activated.

3) When you click the 'Connect' button, then BioStar2 will synchronize the information to 'Airfob Portal' and check if the information is valid. (Airfob Portal is a new name of Suprema Mobile Credential Portal.)
If the information is correct with ‘Airfob Portal’, then the below popup will show up.

  • Connected. Please register devices before using mobile credential.

  • If the information mismatched with 'Airfob Portal', then error pop-up will show up and decline setting up the connection.
If ONLY 'Site ID' is wrong, connection will be set up but will show up error pop-up window to correct 'Site ID'.

4) You can add new devices in the 'Site' through '+ Add' button on the right side.

Once you click [+Add] in Device Registration, there will be the devices in Device Menu of BioStar2. Please note that XPass 2 is only available to use for Suprema Mobile Credential. We will update soon.

5) If you have registered devices already to Airfob portal, it will be deployed as blue box at the bottom.
If you click 'Sync' button on the right side of the device, the key for connection setup will be overwritten on the device.
If you click 'Delete' button on the most right side of the device, device will be automatically removed from Airfob Portal and key will be deleted from the device at the same time.

6) You can sort devices by 'Device ID' and 'Device Name'.

7) When you try to set Mobile Credential Set, 'Not Use' with registered devices in the list, then the pop up message will come up.
