3. Setup the BioStar System 3.6.2.1 Place fingers on the sensor To ensure good quality fingerprints, candidates must place as much of the finger pad (the soft part opposite the fingernail) on the sensor as possible. Suprema recommends using index or middle fingers, because they are typically easier for users to correctly place on the sensor. To properly place a finger on the sensor, candidates should lay the finger flat, so that the pad side covers most of the sensor and the finger is nearly perpendicular to the sensor. The image below illustrates both correct and incorrect placement of a finger on the sensor. 3.6.2.2 Register fingerprints BioStar allows you to register up to ten fingerprints per user. However, some devices can only store a limited number of fingerprints: Device Number of Fingerprints BioEntry Plus 2 BioEntry W BioLite Net BioStation 5 BioStation T2 10 D-Station When fingerprints are distributed from BioStar, the device will receive the maximum number of fingerprints, beginning with the first stored fingerprint scan. If desired, one of the fingerprints can be used as a duress signal that will trigger alarms when a candidate is forced to access an area. When registering duress fingerprints, keep the following tips in mind:  A duress finger cannot be used for normal access  The duress finger should appear to be a natural choice (i.e., the little finger is an unusual choice and may indicate to a perpetrator that the candidate is triggering an alarm)  Candidates should be educated about what occurs when the duress finger is used (e.g., the duress finger may trigger automatic door locks or silent alarms). 78 Copyright ©2014, Suprema Inc.
