Cleaning the Fingerprint Reader

Preparing the CapeClock and Fingerprint Reader

1.	Install CapeClock Setup Software.

2.	Connect Clock and Computer (Comm's port).
3.	Run CapeClock Setup Program.
4.	Set up Clock as per normal using General Tab.
It is important that when you are setting up the CapeClock to be used with the Fingerprint Reader, that the Card Length (Diags tab) for both Mem and EEPROM are set to 10.
5.	Connect Computer (Comm's port) to connector at bottom of Fingerprint Reader.

6.	Select the Biometric toolbar option and then select the General tab.

Preparing Users

Note: To follow the correct procedure required to prepare the correct types of Enrollers and Deleters to suite your system and security requirements, you first need to understand the different type that can be created.

Prepare Super and/or Master Enroller
The Enroller is used when a new User is to be added to the system.
To prepare a Super or Master Enroller, proceed as follows:

1.	Using the CapeSoft Biometric Utility, select the reader type being used (Keypad) and then select the Get settings button
2.	If setting up for the first time, select the Initialize button (Init).
3.	Check that the Enrollers 1 to 4 text boxes have a value of -1 (only if initialising for the first time). If Enrollers have already been prepared, these text boxes will show the particular ID key codes.
4	Select the Read ID button and using the keypad, enter an ID key code and then the hash key (#). The ID key code will be displayed in blue to the right of the button. Using the mouse cursor, select this ID key code and drag and drop it into the appropriate Enroller code text box.
5.	Repeat step 4 for each Enroller that is to be prepared (maximum of 4 Enroller).
6.	If an Enroller is to be that of a Super, select the Super tick box for that user (will show a tick mark when selected).
7.	Once the required Enrollers have been assigned, select the Enrollers Set button.

Prepare Super and/or Master Deleters
The Deleter is used when a User is to be deleted from the system. To prepare a Super or Master Deleter, proceed as follows:

1.	Check that the Deleters 1 to 4 text boxes have a value of -1 (only if initialising for the first time). If Deleters have already been prepared, these text boxes will show the particular ID key code.
2.	Select the Read ID button and using the keypad, enter the user ID key code to be used as a Deleter and then press the Hash (#) key. The ID Key code will then be displayed in blue to the right of the button. Using the mouse cursor, select this ID key code and drag and drop it into the appropriate Deleter code text box.
3.	Repeat step 2 for each Deleter that is to be prepared (maximum of 4 Deleters).
4.	If a Deleter is to be that of a Super , select the Super tick box for that user (will show a tick mark when selected).
5.	Once the required Deleters have been assigned, select the Deleters Set button.
A single ID Key code cannot be used as both an Enroller and Deleter. The ID Key code can be between one and four numerals (max 4 numerical values, i.e. 1 to 9999).

The Setup is now complete and the RS232 cable can be removed from the Fingerprint Reader and the clock can be installed for use.

Bypass Identify Option
The Bypass Verify button is used to set up a reader to allow access using only the User ID key code via the Keypad (the fingerprint scanner is disabled). Using the Enable Verify button will again enable the fingerprint identification process. This option can be used if the fingerprint reader becomes faulty.

Using the Manage Enrolled Users tab, you are able to save fingerprint templates from a reader and also upload them to a reader from a saved file

Prepare Supervisor Enroller
To prepare a Supervisor Enroller using a Super Enroller ID key code, proceed as follows:

1.	At the clock where the Supervisor Enroller is to used, enter the Super Enroller ID key code then press the hash key (#). The Green LED will then flash.
2.	Enter the new Supervisor Enroller ID key code and then the hash key (#). The Red and Green LED’s will now be illuminated.
3.	The user who is authorised to be the new Supervisor must now place his/her finger on the fingerprint reader. If the fingerprint image is accepted by the system, the Red LED will switch off and the Green LED will remain illuminated for a short duration before switching off. If the Green LED switches off and the Red LED flashes for a short duration before switching off then the fingerprint image was not accepted and the procedure must be repeated.
4.	Once created (enrolled), the authorised user can now enroll new Users using this Supervisor Enroller ID key code and fingerprint verification.

Prepare Supervisor Deleter
To prepare a Supervisor Deleter using a Super Deleter ID key code, proceed as follows:

1.	At the clock where the new Supervisor Deleter is to be used, enter the Super Deleter ID key code and then press the hash key (#). The Green LED will then flash.
2.	Enter the new Supervisor Deleter ID key code and then press the hash key (#). The Red and Green LED’s will now be illuminated.
3.	The user who is authorised to be the new Supervisor Deleter must now place his/her finger on the fingerprint reader. If the fingerprint image is accepted by the system, the Red LED will switch off and the Green LED will remain illuminated for a short duration before switching off. If the Green LED switches off and the Red LED flashes for a short duration before switching off then the fingerprint image was not accepted and the procedure must be repeated.
4.	Once created (enrolled), the authorised user can now delete Users using this Supervisor Deleter ID key code and fingerprint verification.

Delete a Super or Master
To delete a Super or Master Enroller or Deleter that has been created using the CapeSoft Setup software, proceed as follows:

1.	Connect the Computer’s Comm's port (that is running the CapeSoft Setup software) to the RS232 connector at the bottom of Fingerprint Reader.
2.	Select the Biometric toolbar option and then the General tab.
3.	Using the cursor, select and highlight the User ID (listed in the appropriate text box) to be deleted and then type in the value -1.
4.	Once the required ID’s have been changed select the respective Set button.

Delete a Supervisor
To delete a Supervisor that has been created using a Super Enroller or Deleter, proceed as follows:

1.	At the reader where the Supervisor Enroller or Deleter is to be deleted, enter the Master Deleter ID key code and then press the hash key (#). The Red LED will flash.
2.	Enter the ID Key code of the Supervisor to be deleted and when deleted the Green LED will illuminate for a short duration and then switch off.

Enrolling a User
To enroll a User, proceed as follows:

1.	At the Fingerprint Reader where the new User is to have access, first enter an Enroller ID key code and then press the hash key (#).
2.	Depending on the type of Enroller used:
	a. If a Master Enroller, the Green LED will then flash.
	b. If a Supervisor Enroller, the Green and Red LED’s will illuminate. The authorised user of the Supervisor Enroller tag must now place there finger on the fingerprint reader. If verified the Red LED will switch off and the Green LED will flash. If the fingerprint was not verified, the Green LED will switch off and Red LED will remain illuminated for a short duration and then switch off.
3.	Enter the new User ID key code and then press the hash key (#) and the Red and Green LED's will be illuminated.
4.	The new User must now place his/her finger on the Fingerprint Reader. If the fingerprint image is accepted by the system, the Red LED will switch off and the Green LED will remain illuminated for a short duration before switching off. If the Green LED switches off and the Red LED flashes for a short duration before switching off then the fingerprint image was not accepted and the procedure must be repeated.
To obtain the best fingerprint, with the finger raised, position the finger so that the Ridge-lock rests comfortably within the first indentation of the finger. Now lower the finger onto the sensor and apply very moderate pressure.

Deleting a User
To delete a User from the system, proceed as follows:

1.	At the Fingerprint Reader where the User information is to be deleted, enter a Deleter ID key code and then press the hash key (#).
2.	Depending on the type of Deleter used:
	a. If Super or Master Deleter, the Red LED will flash.
	b. If a Supervisor Deleter, the Green and Red LED’s will illuminate. The authorised Supervisor Deleter must now place there finger on the fingerprint reader. If verified, the Green LED will switch off and the Red LED will flash.
3.	Enter the User ID key code to be deleted and then press the hash key (#). If the User has been deleted the Green LED will illuminate for a short duration and then switch off.

Gaining Access
To gain access, proceed as follows:

1.	Place your finger on the fingerprint reader.
	a. If identified (Access granted), your personal ID key code will be displayed by the CapeClock and if set, the clock will beep once.
	b. If the fingerprint was not identified (Access denied), there will be no response except if set up, the CapeClock will give a No Access beep (normally two short beeps).
To gain access in the bypass mode, the user’s ID Key code and then the hash key (#) is used.
