4.2 Interpreting the LEDs
The three status LEDs on the BioPointe are used to convey different status interpretations.
First LED is used to indicate the Device Status.
Second LED is used to indicate an Action to be taken.
Third LED is used to indicate a particular Mode (or State).
The different interpretations act as guidelines while you are in any of the Administration Modes.
Each LED can be displayed in 3 different colors or be switched off simply. The colors can be:
Red
Amber
Green
At any time, each LED can be in one of the following state:
Stationary
Blinking fast
Blinking slow
The combination of color and state together helps you to navigate through the Administration
Modes. In addition to using the LEDs, the buzzer from the BioPointe is also used to indicate
different status. A short buzzer sound usually indicates a pass status, while a long buzzer sound
usually indicates a fail status.
4.2.1 Table of LED Status (For Administration Modes Only)
The following tables list all the different statuses that the BioPointe can be in. You can use these
tables to help you interpret the status conveyed at any point while you are administrating the device.
This table is only applicable to administration.
For ease of reference, there is a separate table in Chapter 5 – "Performing Authentication in the
BioPointe". This table is applicable when the user is performing authentication on the device.
The following describes what each LED is used for:
• LED 1 is usually used to indicate pass or fail status.
• LED 2 is used to indicate the action waiting for you to carry out. For example, when it blinks
slowly in red, it means that the device is waiting for you to enter the desired ID of the master or
user that you are going to enroll.
• LED 3 is used to indicate the type of mode you are in. For example, when you have just entered
into administration mode 1 (to enroll master), you can know this by its amber color and its slow
blinks.
