4 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your decision to purchase the Zodiac iclass II fingerprint reader. The Zodiac iclass II system combines Cansec's powerful biometric technology with 16k bit iclass SmartCard credentials. User's fingerprint templates are stored on the SmartCard, making it one of the fastest and most secure fingerprint readers in the Zodiac line. In addition, because fingerprint templates are stored on users' cards, and not on the reader, the Zodiac iclass II system has an unlimited user capacity. The Zodiac iclass II system is designed so users can access both non-biometric readers and biometric fingerprint readers with the same SmartCard. Zodiac iclass II readers accept the biometric templates stored on the SmartCard, while proximity readers accept the user ID. The Zodiac iclass II reader can also be used with existing non-biometric cards! Instead of replacing existing access cards and credentials, a stick-on 16k bit iclass patch can be easily affixed to the existing cards, adding biometric storage capability. The iclass patch is the ultimate solution for retrofitting an existing system to use biometrics without the hassle of re-badging and replacing all existing readers. NOTE: proximity cards must be 125 khz. Page 4 of 24

The following window will appear: Page 11 of 24

12 4. Choose Card Encoding and Fingerprint Capture, and click OK. CHANGING COM PORTS If the software continually displays the Detection window below, it is scanning for the USB SmartCard Programmer on the wrong COM ports.

16 ENROLLING USERS Return to the main Zodiac iclass II Smartcard Enroller screen: 1. Place a SmartCard or iclass patch on the SmartCard programmer. Note: If the card or patch has been encoded, the user name will appear automatically in the appropriate field. In the Fingerprint Capture section, the green light should be on and the message "Ready" should be displayed. Page 16 of 24

17 2. Enter a name in the User Name field. 3. Click ENCODE. 4. Select the Enroll Primary Finger radio button. 5. Click CAPTURE. 6. When the hamster's red sensor light turns on, ask the user to place his or her primary finger on the sensor. 7. When prompted, ask the user to lift and replace his or her finger. 8. Wait for the fingerprint data to be downloaded onto the SmartCard or iclass patch. ENROLLING ALTERNATE FINGERPRINTS 9. If desired, select the Enroll Alternate Finger radio button and repeat the process with an alternate fingerprint. 10. Remove the SmartCard or iclass patch. Note: Enrolling an alternate finger is recommended in case the user's primary finger is damaged. Enrolling an alternate finger will slightly increase read time. When a user presents a finger at a Zodiac reader, the reader cycles through two attempts to create a match with the primary fingerprint before attempting to match the alternate fingerprint. This means that the user must leave the alternate finger on the scanner for a slightly longer period of time. Page 17 of 24

18 BYPASS FINGERPRINT VERIFICATION Certain users may experience difficulty enrolling. Bypass capability can be programmed on these users' cards so that the cardholders can gain access by presenting their cards only. Because bypass verification is less secure than fingerprint verification, the number of users with bypass-enabled cards should be kept to a minimum. Users who are having difficulty enrolling should follow the suggestions in the troubleshooting section first before being granted a bypass-enabled card. To issue a bypass-enabled card: 1. Place the SmartCard on the programmer. 2. Enter the user name. 3. Check the Bypass Fingerprint Verification box. (NOTE: the CAPTURE button will be greyed out) 4. Click ENCODE. 5. Remove the SmartCard or iclass patch. TROUBLESHOOTING USER ENROLLMENT Good enrollment is crucial to fast and accurate access at the reader. If a user is having difficulty enrolling, try the following suggestions: Try again with the same finger Try a different finger If your finger is dry, moisten it by breathing on it, or by rubbing it against your forehead Cover the entire prism with your finger Only place your finger on the scanner when the scanner is glowing red Leave your finger on the scanner until the red light turns off Page 18 of 24

19 DELETE DATA ON A CARD To delete data from a SmartCard or iclass patch, re-encode the user name. OVERWRITE FINGERPRINT DATA ON A CARD To overwrite fingerprint data on a card: 1. Place the card on the programmer. 2. Click CAPTURE and repeat the enrollment process. USING SAVED TEMPLATES If an existing user loses his or her card, you can create a new card without having to recapture fingerprint data provided that the Save fingerprint templates to disk option was enabled in Program Settings. To write fingerprint data to a card using a saved template: 1. Place the card on the programmer. 2. Enter the appropriate Tag ID*. 3. Click FROM DISK. 4. The existing fingerprint template will be automatically downloaded onto the card. Note: For security reasons, the file names for the saved templates are saved using a file convention that does not associate the file to a user. *The Tag ID must be the same as the Tag ID of the lost card.
