2. Basic concepts

2.1 Basic concepts

This section contains definitions and descriptions of David-Link Biometric Fingerprint Access Control concepts including:

• User Enrollment

• User Verification

• Match Threshold Levels

• User ID Numbers

• Authority (Status) Levels

2.1.1 User Enrollment

During user verification, live fingerprint scan is compared with the matching stored fingerprint template to confirm user’s identity. Each enrollment process takes less than 1 second. All ten fingers can be enrolled and assigned to the same ID number or the same user.

Ideally, one finger from each hand should be enrolled so that in case one finger is injured, the alternate finger can still be verified. It is recommended to enroll the left and right index fingers for enrollment.

2.1.2 User Verification

Verification process starts when a user enters an ID number, places a finger on the fingerprint sensor, or inputs a password combination for comparison with the stored template.

6

2.1.3 Match Threshold Levels

Match Threshold Levels establishes a balance between False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False

Rejection Rate (FRR). FAR is the frequency of a non-authorized user is falsely recognized and granted access to the system. FRR the frequency of an enrolled and authorized user, who should be granted access to the system, is denied on the basis that the system did not recognize. FAR and

FRR affect each other. Lower FAR yields to higher FRR.

You can set match threshold levels on a per-use basis. The higher the threshold is set, the higher the security is ensured; however, it is recommended to leave this setting as default, threshold value = 3, since the default threshold is commonly accepted as the balance of FAR and FRR rate.

In case of fingerprint verification difficulty, one can enter ID number before fingerprint verification

(1:1 match) or lower the matching threshold (1: N).

Table 2-1 Match threshold description

2.1.4 User ID number

Before the fingerprint enrollment, a user is assigned with a User ID Number. This ID number is matched with a user’s identity and the matching fingerprint template during verification process.

An ID number is assigned sequentially based on availability; however, you may choose any ID number as desired.

2.1.5 Authority/Privilege Level

David-Link DL-A Door Access Control System contains authority/privilege levels:

• User: one whose identity must be verified in order to gain access into a facility or to have his/her attendance recorded.

• Enroll Manager: One who only has access to enroll a new user.

• General Manager: One who has access to all menu functions, except advanced settings.

• Super Manager: One who has access to all functions and is allowed to make any change in the system setting.

7

Note: A Super Manager’s enrollment is required in order to assign other privilege levels such as Enroll Manager or General Manager.

2.1.6 Start-up

Press the power button [0] to turn on the terminal. The Start-up window will appear as the following:

2.2 How to Place the Finger

Tips: It is recommended that at least 2 fingerprints are enrolled in the terminal for each user in the event that if one of the fingerprints is injured or damaged, a user can always user the alternate finger for entries. Each user can enroll 1 to 10 fingerprints in the terminal.

DL-A requires each fingerprint to be pressed 3 times in order to successfully enroll the user. Place your finger in the middle of the sensor. To ensure better fingerprint reads, each time press the finger flat and firmly on the center of the sensor surface and cover as much of the sensor surface as possible.

1) Correct Finger Positioning:

Place finger flat on the center of sensor surface.

2) Incorrect finger Positioning:

3.0 Enrollment and Verification Procedures

This chapter describes user enrollment and verification processes.

The following topics are included:

• Enrolling User

• Testing an Enrollment

• Enrolling a User with the Display Finger Option On

• Verifying Your Identity

• Hints for Successful Enrollments

Note: A manager’s fingerprint authentication, if any is set up previously, is required before a new user can be enrolled. For information, see “Authority/Privilege Level” on2.1.5”

3.1 Enrolling User

If this is the first enrollment in the new system, everyone is allowed to enroll himself/herself in to the system. However, if there is an Enrollment Manager or above authority level enrolled in the system, you will need a manager or above authority level to confirm for a new enrollment by verifying the enroller or above authority level personnel’s fingerprint before new user enrollment.

There are many verification method options for a new user enrollment: fingerprint, proximity card, password, or any combination of the above three. Fingerprint enrollment ideal for most of the people who have better quality fingerprints. Any combination of the three (3) verification method options is for few people with poor quality of fingerprints.

To start the enrollment process, press [M], the Enrollment Manager or above authority level personnel, if any, presses his fingerprint grant access to menu options and the following message appears on the display:
