Getting Started

Important!

Do not attempt to service the TQ600 yourself. Opening the terminal will void the warranty. Always follow the instructions in the user guide.

• Do not place the terminal in direct sunlight. Bright light may significantly affect fingerprint reads or cause fingerprint verification to fail. The terminal is designed for indoor use in a temperature range of 32-104º F (0-40º C). Keep the terminal away from heat sources such as radiators.

• The terminal warranty does not cover defects or damages arising from improper installation, improper storage, abuse, ordinary wear or unauthorized service.

Terminal Configurations

The TQ600 is available in four reader options, being equipped with one of the follwing reader options: fingerprint, proximity badge, magnetic stripe badge and barcode card reader. The fingerprint reader provides the most secure user verification as it uniquely identifies each user. The badge is a faster method of verifying a user since you only need place your proximity badge near/in front of the reader or slide through the reader in case of barcode/magnetic stripe badges, but security could be circumvented since a user other than the owner of the badge can use the badge.

This manual provides information for all TQ600 terminal configurations.

Sections specifically about fingerprint verification or proximity/magnetic stripe/barcode badge verification will pertain only to the corresponding terminal.

Basic Concepts

This section contains definitions and descriptions of fingerprint identification concepts: z

User Enrollment: Fingerprints z

User Identification/Verification z

Threshold z

User ID (PIN Number) z

Privilege Levels z

Start-up

The two most important functions of fingerprint identification are user enrollment and user verification.

User Enrollment: Fingerprints

Enrollment is the process of capturing a user’s fingerprint and storing it as a “template” in the TQ600 along with a unique five (5) digit user ID.

The user’s fingerprint template is created by taking three sample fingerprints on the TQ600.

Each user should enroll at least two different fingers so that if an enrolled finger is injured an alternate finger can be used. The TQ600 allows users to enroll 1-10 fingerprints.

User Identification / Verification

User identification is the process of comparing a user’s fingerprint against a fingerprint template stored in the terminal. When a user’s fingerprint matches a fingerprint template stored in the TQ600 the terminal will show a successful match, thus verifying the user’s identity.

7

Threshold

The threshold is a predefined number (set by the terminal system administrator) which establishes the degree of correlation necessary for a fingerprint comparison to be deemed a match. It can be thought of as the minimum accuracy required to confirm a fingerprint match. Some biometric systems call this the “sensitivity” level. If the score resulting from a fingerprint read compared to a fingerprint template stored in the terminal exceeds the threshold the templates are approved as a “match” (though the templates themselves are not identical).

The threshold establishes a balance between False Acceptance Rate

(FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR). FAR means the probability that a biometric system will incorrectly identify an individual or will fail to reject an impostor. FRR means the probability that a biometric system will fail to identify an enrolled individual.

The threshold value is a global setting, i.e., it is set for all users. If a user has a problem with fingerprint verification due to worn fingerprints or dry skin you may need to have the user enter their User

ID in order to match their fingerprint to their stored template. This is referred to as 1:1 (one to one) verification since they are specifically comparing their fingerprint to their stored template.

Raising the threshold increases security or the probability that a successful fingerprint read accurately corresponds to the correct stored fingerprint template. Lowering the threshold increases the possibility of a false acceptance. The correct balance is vital for maximum security as well as usability.

Note: FAR and FRR are interrelated: For example, raising the threshold reduces FAR but increases FRR, while lowering the threshold increases FAR but reduces FRR. The threshold value can be set independently for “one to many” (1:N) matching and “one to one” (1:1) matching. The default threshold for (1:N) is 35 and the default threshold for (1:1) matching is 15.

User ID (PIN number)

Before beginning fingerprint enrollment, a user is assigned a User ID number (sometimes referred to as a PIN number). This User ID number is used to recall fingerprint templates or passwords each time verification is requested.

Privilege Levels

Privilege levels are the levels at which users are authorized to access terminal functions. These levels define the authority of a user to access specified administrative functions including the ability to view, edit, add, or renew specified information categories.

Privilege levels are built-in terminal functions that can be set as required. The TQ600 has four user privilege levels: User,

Enroller, Admin (administrator) and Supervisor. z

Users are people whose identity must be verified to record time such as punching in/out or the time spent working on a job or working in specific departments. z

Enrollers can enroll supervisors, administrators, enrollers and users. Enrollers can delete users. Enrollers can access

“User Manage” and “System Information” menus. z

Administrators (Admin) can enroll supervisors, administrators, enroller and users. Administrators can delete enrollers and users. Administrators can access all operations, except “Advanced Options”.

9

z

Supervisor is the highest authorization level. Supervisors can enroll supervisors, administrators, enrollers and users.

Supervisors can delete administrators, enrollers and users.

Supervisors can access all functions and change all setups.

Note: If no user has administrative privileges (enroller, administrator or supervisor) in the terminal, ALL users will be enrolled with “Supervisor” privileges.

To change a user that is currently enrolled as an administrator or enroller, delete the user and then re-enroll the user with the new privilege level.

Start-up

Press the power button () to turn the TQ600 on. The Start-up” window will appear. Press and hold the power button () for 2 seconds to turn off the TQ600.

Fingerprint Enrollment Tips

It is recommended that you use your index or middle finger for enrollment.

If the fingerprints on your preferred hand are worn or damaged try using your other hand.

The TQ600 will require three (3) sample fingerprints to enroll a user. Place your finger in the middle of the sensor. To ensure better fingerprint reads take each fingerprint sample with slightly different positioning; one centered, one rolled slightly to the left and the last rolled slightly to the right.

The different angles will help account for different finger positioning during actual use.

CORRECT finger positioning:

Place finger flat on the sensor surface

Place finger in the center of the sensor surface

INCORRECT finger positioning:

11

Tips for improving the quality of finger print reads:

Correction

Dirty or Dry

Finger

Clean finger with moisturizing soap or wipe with a pre-moisturized tissue (alcohol-free wipes preferably, enriched to hydrate the skin)

Not enough pressure

The user should place finger firmly and flat on the sensor surface.

How to select finger?

Use the index or middle finger to enroll; try the left hand fingers if the right hand fingerprints are worn, damaged or missing.

If the user’s fingers are small, select the thumb.

How to position the finger?

Fingerprint pattern change

Place finger in the middle of the sensor; keep finger flat on the sensor and apply pressure while covering as much of the sensor window as possible; DO NOT touch the sensor in an angled or tilted position, DO NOT slide finger.

For a user with a worn or injured finger, the identification can be affected. Use an alternate finger or select password verification.

12

Others

A few people’s fingerprint quality is too poor to verify. Use the User ID & Fingerprint verification, and lower the 1:1 Threshold. Otherwise use

Password verification.

Enrolling Users – Fingerprint Terminals

After configuring the TQ600 you are ready to enroll users. If there are no users on the system all users will have a privilege level of supervisor, if an administrator (Admin) is enrolled on the system they will be the only one allowed to enroll a new user.

The TQ600 provides three ways to enroll, Fingerprint Enrollment,

Password Enrollment, or Fingerprint with Password Enrollment.

Fingerprint Enrollment is preferable for personnel with good fingerprint definition; Fingerprint with Password is preferable for users that have difficulty verifying their finger print. Password Enrollment is necessary for users whose fingerprints are too worn or damaged for the terminal to read their fingerprint.

To start the enrollment process, identify yourself. Press [MENU], enter your ID number or fingerprint, and verify your identity.

Note: If this is the first enrollment in a new or empty system, you will not be prompted for verification.

User Verification Types

Fingerprint Verification

There are (3) fingerprint verification (“authentication”) types:

1:1 Verification (“One to One” Verification)

In this mode, a user enters their 5-digit User ID and takes a fingerprint

18

reading. The TQ600 compares their fingerprint to the fingerprint template of the User ID that was entered, thus a 1:1 comparison. The

1:1 verification method is the fastest verification method since it only has to compare the user’s fingerprint to one template stored in the terminal.

1) In the initial interface, enter your ID number and the following appears:

1:1 FP Match

User ID 00011

ESC OK

Note: The User ID is 5 digits. If you enter a number with less than 5 digits the TQ600 adds 0’s in order to create a 5 digit

User ID, i.e., if you enter “11” the TQ600 will Enroll “00011”.

2) Press [OK] and the following appears:

FP Verify

User ID 00011

Place Finger…

3) It continues for about 0.5 seconds. If the test is successful, the following appears:

Verify

User ID 00011

Verified.

4) If your identity cannot be verified, you are prompted to try again, the following appears:

19

1:1 FP Match

Please Try Agn.

It continues for about 0.5 seconds then returns to the start-up window.

1:N Verification (“One to Many” Verification)

In this mode, a user simply takes a fingerprint reading. The TQ600 compares their fingerprint to all of the fingerprint templates stored in the terminal. 1:N verification takes more time than 1:1 verification.

The verification time is dependent on the number of fingerprint templates stored in the terminal.

1) Place finger on the sensor surface, the following appears:

FP Verify

Remove Finger

2) It continues for about 0.5 seconds. If the test is successful, the following appears:

Verify

User ID 00001

Verified.

3) If your identity cannot be verified, you are prompted to try again, the following appears:

FP Verify

Please Try Agn.

20

It continues for about 0.5 seconds, return to the start-up window.

Password Verification

A password 1 to 5 digits long is used to validate authentication.

Password verification can be used in special cases, i.e., when all of a user’s fingerprints are damaged. This method of verification does not provide the security of biometric identification and should only be used when absolutely necessary. Note: when a user with an enrolled password attempts (1:1) verification the TQ600 will ask for the User’s password and the user will not have the option of taking a fingerprint reading.

1) To verify a password, enter your ID number, the following appears:

PWD Affirm

User ID 00008

ESC OK

2) Press [OK], the following appears:

Pwd Affirm

User ID 00008

Input Pwd *****

3) Input correct password, press [OK], the following appears:

Privilege Levels

The TQ600 has four user privilege levels: User, Enroller, Admin

(administrator) and Supervisor. z

Users are people whose identity must be verified to record time such as punching in/out or the time spent working on a job or working in specific departments. z

Enrollers can enroll supervisors, administrators, enrollers and users. Enrollers can delete users. Enrollers can access

“User Manage” and “System Information” menus. z

Administrators (Admin) can enroll supervisors, administrators, enroller and users. Administrators can delete enrollers and users. Administrators can access all operations, except “Advanced Options”. z

Supervisor is the highest authorization level. Supervisors can enroll supervisors, administrators, enrollers and users.

Supervisors can delete administrators, enrollers and users.

Supervisors can access all functions and change all setups.

Note: If no user has administrative privileges (enroller, administrator or supervisor) in the terminal, ALL users will be enrolled with “Supervisor” privileges.

To change a user that is currently enrolled as an administrator or enroller, delete the user and then re-enroll the user with the new privilege level.

Enroll w/ Privilege Level

Important! Until you enroll a user with at least Administrator privileges, all users will automatically be entered with Supervisor privileges even if they were entered as users. In order to prevent unauthorized personnel from making changes to the TQ600 you should enroll a user with Administrator password security.

Daylight Savings Time

DST, also called Daylight Saving Time, is the practice of temporarily advancing clocks during the summertime so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less. It has been introduced as a method of saving energy. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn. DST is currently observed in many countries, details vary by location.

1) Press OK to enter the DST setting interface.

Press Y to enable DST, and then press OK to save. Selecting N disables DST.

2) Set the date mode for DST, there are two options, Mode1 and Mode 2

Mode 1: The default setting of the device. Its time format is shown as

“Month-day hour: minute”.

Mode 2: Its time format is shown as "Month-Weeks-week hour: minute".

After setting, press ESC button, the device will prompt you to save, press

OK to save and quit.

3) After you select the time format, you need to set the start and end time of DST. The allowed range is 1-16 for the number of weeks (WS), 1 means the first week, 2 means the second week, etc. The allowed range is 0-06 for each day of the week (WK), if you input 0, it represents the Sunday, 1 represents Monday, etc.

If we take 4:00 am on September 1, 2008 (Saturday, the first week in

September 2008) as an example, the two display Modes need to be configured as follows:

32

Note:

1. Let’s take the following example: DST starts on 2007-9-1 4:00 and ends on 2008-4-1 4:00.

2. If Mode2 is selected, as of 2007, DST is set up as follows: September

Sunday, the sixth week of the month. However the next year, 2008,

September only has five weeks rather than six. In this case the system will automatically adjust and apply DST on the last Sunday of September.

3. If we enter DST as September, 1st week, Monday, 2008 and then upon

2009, the first day is Tuesday, instead of Monday, the system will automatically adjust and apply DST to the first Monday on the month.

USB Flash Drive Management

See “Remote Terminal Functionality” in the Documents folder of the timeQplus CD.

Bell Schedule

The TQ600 has a bell signal that can be programmed for different times during the day. The bell schedule and bell duration can be set based on user requirements. A total of 20 bell schedules can be set.

The TQ600 has an internal electronic bell, see Chapter 5, “Power Manage”.

TQ600 Magnetic Stripe/TQ600 Barcode terminals have relay contacts for access control/external bell function. It requires purchasing and connecting a relay box and external bell.

Reserve Battery (Mini-UPS)

In order for the TQ600 to function during power interruptions an optional

12V Mini-UPS (p/n 74-0169-000) is available. Contact your dealer or

Acroprint to purchase.

UPS Operational State:

The UPS remains idle as long as AC Power is available but will automatically supply power to the TQ600 the instant AC Power is interrupted. When AC

Power is restored the UPS will automatically charge until fully charged.

47

Connection

Note: Connect the Mini-UPS to the TQ600 first, then plug the UPS in and turn the power on.

Battery Storage:

Store batteries in a cool/dry place 50-86º F (10-30 º C). DO NOT store batteries for over 3 months and do not store them in direct sunlight, high temperature or high humidity. Charge the batteries

at least once every three months in order to maintain 50% of the rated capacity of the battery. Keep the batteries away from chemicals and heat sources.

Warning:

Batteries may leak, overheat, catch fire or explode if you don’t follow proper safety & handling: z

DO NOT get batteries wet z

DO NOT place batteries near heat sources z

DO NOT use any charger other than the original charger z

DO NOT inverse polarity connection z

NEVER throw batteries into fire. Properly dispose of

batteries according to local rules and regulations. z

DO NOT allow anything to short circuit the batteries (connect

the positive and negative terminals of the battery) z

Dropping a battery may damage the battery. Replace

the battery if you suspect that it is damaged.

48

Fingerprint Privacy:

1. The TQ600 merely captures points of the fingerprint but not the

actual fingerprint image.

2. The fingerprint points cannot be used to re-create a fingerprint image.

3. Acroprint will not be liable for any direct or the indirect damages

resulting from the use or inability to use our equipment.

4. If you have a question about privacy concerning the use of
