2.4 Typical Setup For Use in Door Access
The figure below shows a typical setup of the BioPointe device used for access control. It consists of a
communication link from the BioPointe Central software to communicate with the device, as well as a
Wiegand line to a controller. The following steps are in no particular order.
Step 1 – Enroll fingerprints (authentication properties):
In order to start using the device, fingerprints or any other authentication properties (that is card or card with
PIN) need to be enrolled. The fingerprints and other authentication properties can be enrolled locally on the
device or remotely using the central enrollment feature in the BioPointe Central software. You can refer to
Chapter 3-1 to 3-3 for a description on managing authentication properties, local administration as well as
remote administration.
Step 2 - Set up the communication link:
To successfully setup the communication link, the appropriate device ID, baud rate, type of communication
and the serial interface type have to be configured. This can be done through the DIP switches located on the
back of the BioPointe device. Refer to Chapter 6 – Configuring the BioPointe or Chapter 7 –
Communicating with the BioPointe to find out how to set the DIP switches.
Step 3 - Set up the Wiegand link:
Having setup the communication link, you will also need to wire the Wiegand output from the BioPointe
device to the controller. Refer to Chapter 8 – Interfacing to a Keri System Controller.
