4 Administering The BioPointe
Introduction
This chapter describes how you can perform a range of administration tasks from the device. For
example, you can enroll authentication properties, or have them deleted from the device. In
addition, you can also configure certain settings like the Communication Authentication Mode (see
Chapter 3.3) or the Fingerprint Identify Mode (see Chapter 3.1.1).
4.1 Understanding the Administration Modes
All the tasks that you can administer at the BioPointe device are collectively known as the
Administration Modes. This section describes the various types of Administration Modes and how
you can get into them.
Only a Master can administer the Device
For security, only a Master can administer the device. As such, as you enter any of the
administration modes, a Master fingerprint authentication will be carried out first.
Types of Administration Modes
The various administration modes can be categorized into 2 types, namely Configuration and
Enrollment. Each Administration Mode is associated with an Administration Number. Please refer
to the tree diagram for the complete list of the various modes.
