 1. About the BioStar System D-Station devices allow the system to store images of users and control access via face detection, in addition to fingerprint, access card, and user ID authentication. D-Station, XStation, BioStation T2 and FaceStation devices are equipped with cameras to allow for face detection and recording of face images for enhanced security. For more information about face detection, see section 3.6.3. 1.2.2 User Management BioStar supports both manual and automatic modes for user management. Manual synchronization is available for enrolling different subsets of users to particular devices or when the total number of users in the BioStar database exceeds the limits of a BioStation, BioEntry Plus, BioEntry W, BioLite Net, Xpass, Xpass Slim, D-Station, X-Station, BioStation T2 or FaceStation device. Automatic synchronization is available when managing user records at the device is not required or desired. BioStar collects log records from devices and allows the data to be exported to a delimited text file (.CSV) for custom reporting. The software supports an unlimited number of user records-the maximum amount of data stored is subject only to the capabilities of the underlying database and hardware configuration. For more information about user management, see sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, and 4.6. 1.2.3 Access Group Management BioStar allows administrators to build custom access groups by combining permissions for timezones and doors. With this capability, BioStar provides customizable, scheduled access control. BioStar supports up to 128 timezones that consist of a seven day schedule, plus two holiday schedules. Each day in a timezone can include as many as five distinct time periods. In total, BioStar supports up to 128 access groups that can be transferred to all connected devices. For more information about access groups, see section 3.8. 1.2.4 Device Management Administrators can control multiple aspects of devices via the BioStar software. In addition to authentication behaviors, BioStar supports the configuration of inputs, output relays, actions, and sounds. The system includes options for customizing sound and display settings for BioStation, D-Station, X-Station, BioStation T2 and FaceStation devices, and LED & Buzzer settings for other devices. The system provides configuration options for controlling external devices, such as door strikes and alarm sirens. BioStar can also connect to and communicate with third-party devices via a Wiegand interface. For more information about device management, see sections 3.2 and 4.7. 16 Copyright ©2014, Suprema Inc.
