The F4 Vista runs ZK Software’s T&A software. The F4 Vista will also run numerous other 3rd party T&A software applications. Consult with your local ZK Software office to determine which T&A software application best suits your specific needs (www.zk-usa.com). Environmental Considerations Do not install or operate the F4 Vista where there is very strong light. Intense light will adversely impact the fingerprint sensor’s ability to accurately read fingerprints. The F4 Vista is primarily designed for indoor use. If it must be installed outdoors, protect it with an all-weather protective covering such as outdoor enclosures manufactured by STI USA (www.sti-usa.com). The F4 Vista operating temperature range is 0° to 40° C (32° to 105° F). Do not operate the F4 Vista in very hot environments. Keep the F4 Vista away from direct heat sources and provide adequate ventilation to prevent the F4 Vista from overheating. 51 II - Abbreviated Operating Procedures Step 1 Install the F4 Vista and power it up. Step 2 Enroll users by registering his/her fingerprints or passwords. If the F4 Vista is operating in stand-alone mode (where no 3rd party access control panel exists), assign users’ security privileges directly on the F4 Vista. If using the F4 Vista with a 3rd party Wiegand access control panel, users’ security privileges will be maintained by the access control panel and NOT the F4 Vista. Step 3 After enrolling user(s), verify his/her enrolled fingerprint(s) or password is recognized by the F4 Vista. Step 4: Configure the F4 Vista communication settings. Then download the users’ newly enrolled fingerprints from the F4 Vista onto a computer. Data can be transmitted via TCP/IP or by using a USB flash drive. Note; We always recommend backing up the fingerprint templates on to a computer or removable media. If the F4 Vista ever fails or is vandalized, having a “backup” eliminates the need of having to re-enroll all your users all over again. Having a “template backup” can potentially save you a lot of time. Step 5 Verify the F4 Vista displays the correct day and time. 52 III – Introduction to Fingerprint Recognition Technology Prior to operating the F4 Vista it is essential to first understand how fingerprint recognition technology works. Adding and verifying fingerprints is the core function of the F4 Vista. Once a thorough understanding of fingerprint recognition technology is obtained, you’ll find your experience with the F4 Vista to be very productive and rewarding. How fingerprint recognition technology works When the user places his/her finger on a Fingerprint Recognition Device (i.e. F4 Vista) for the first time, the fingerprint is scanned and converted into a computer-generated “biometric template”. The templates can only be recognized by each respective biometric manufacturers’ devices. Also note that these “templates” are NOT actual fingerprint images. “Real” fingerprint images cannot be re-generated from these templates. All fingerprints contain a number of unique physical characteristics called minutiae. Minutia include certain visible aspects of fingerprints such as ridges, ridge endings, and bifurcation (forking) of ridges. Most of the minutiae are found in the core points of fingerprints, and the core points themselves are found near the center of the fingerprint on the fleshy pad of the finger. 53 Figure A-1 shows the positions of core points within fingerprints. The core points are represented by the red dots in the figure below (note: if this manual is printed in black and white you’ll only see a thick dot near the upper ridges in the figure below): Figure A-1 A core point is defined as the topmost point on the innermost upward recurring ridge line. A user is considered “enrolled” in the F4 Vista after his/her fingerprint(s) or password has been successfully registered in the database of the F4 Vista. During the enrollment process, when the user places his/her finger(s) on the F4 Vista fingerprint sensor, the F4 Vista takes a picture of that user’s finger’s key minutiae points. The F4 Vista then uses its proprietary mathematical algorithm and converts that picture into a unique mathematical template which is comparable to a 60-digit password. This unique template is then encrypted and stored in the F4 Vista database. IMPORTANT NOTE Privacy issues should never become a concern when using the F4 Vista, since NO REAL IMAGE OF A USER’S FINGERPRINT IS ACTUALLY STORED. Instead, ONLY the minutiae-based templates are actually stored. Each time a user’s fingerprint is scanned, the F4 Vista searches its database for a matching fingerprint. If the F4 Vista finds a user’s matching fingerprint, then his/her “attendance/door access” is recorded in the F4 Vista “audit log” and will be noted in subsequent reports. 54 Getting Good Fingerprint Images The quality of fingerprint images is relative to the number of minutiae points captured by the F4 Vista’s sensor. Fingerprint images not possessing an adequate number of minutiae points may be unreadable. For those users whose fingerprint images lack sufficient minutia points and cannot be read by the sensor, it’s advised to issue those few users a secret password, instead. You may also consider purchasing an F4 Vista with an integrated card reader, if you prefer not assigning passwords. Figure A-2 shows poor-quality fingerprints, characterized by smudged, faded or otherwise distorted areas on the fingerprint. These conditions can be caused by excessive dryness or wetness, excessive or insufficient pressure, or scarring of the skin at the fingertip. Figure A-2 The F4 Vista fingerprint matching algorithm is often capable of extracting the correct minutiae even without the benefit of a perfect print. However, the positioning of the finger and the relative moisture and pressure of the fingerprint when it is placed on the sensor are important contributing factors in achieving a good consistent fingerprint match. 55 Correcting wet or dry fingerprint images: When the temperature is very cold or just after washing hands, fingerprints often become very dry. In this case, the user should moisturize his/her fingerprint simply by breathing on the fleshy pad of his/her fingertip prior to placing his/her finger on the sensor. The moisture from his/her breath transferred to his/her finger should help improve the recognition of his/her fingerprint. Conversely, if the fingerprint is too wet, the ridges and valleys are rendered indistinguishable. The lack of recognizable minutiae causes wet fingerprints to be rejected by the F4 Vista. This can be remedied simply by swiping the finger on a clean dry towel or cloth. How much pressure is required for a good-quality fingerprint? If too much pressure is applied when pressing down on the fingerprint sensor, the finger’s ridges become pressed together and create an indistinguishable image. Applying too much pressure (similar to fingerprints that are too wet) will create a “blurred” image which the S900 sensor might not recognize. It is similar to using too much ink on a stamp: the stamp will create a smeared image which is unrecognizable. Conversely, if too little pressure is applied, the resulting image will be similar to the dry fingerprint. Similar again to a stamp, if not enough ink is used, the image will be barely recognizable. Issues related to moisture and pressure are easily addressed. A little practice is all that is needed for users to get the feel of it. Be sure to maintain contact with the fingerprint sensor for 2 full seconds, until the F4 Vista responds. The F4 Vista has both audio and visual indicators which respond when the F4 Vista senses a finger. 56 Proper Finger Placement The user’s finger should completely cover the sensor. The finger should be placed flat and in the center of the sensor. The finger should cover at least 80% of the sensor as shown below: The finger should NOT be placed in the following positions: 57 Identity Verification The F4 Vista will NOT record an employee’s attendance OR allow door access UNTIL the individual’s identity is verified. The F4 Vista uses various means to verify a user’s identity: 1. Fingerprint Matching 2. Password Matching 3. Card Matching (optional) Fingerprint Matching The F4 Vista supports two methods of fingerprint matching, 1:N and 1:1. 1: N Fingerprint Matching When using 1:N Fingerprint Matching, the F4 Vista will place your fingerprint (“1”) in its temporary memory and then compare it to ALL (“N”) the fingerprint templates stored in the F4 Vista database (up to 2800 templates). By using 1:N matching the user enjoys the convenience of not having to additionally enter his/her User ID. NO. prior to placing his/her finger on the sensor. 1:N is basically 1-touch matching. It is the FASTEST and EASIEST method of fingerprint matching. 1: 1 Fingerprint Matching (ID. NO +fingerprint) When too many users’ fingerprints are not easily recognized by the F4 Vista, the F4 Vista can be set to perform 1:1 fingerprint matching. 1:1 matching requires the added step of first entering the user’s ID. NO. However, 1:1 matching is more consistent than 1:N matching. 58 Password Matching If too many users’ have difficulty with fingerprint matching, users can register with passwords, instead of fingerprints. Door-Access Considerations The F4 Vista is designed to work as an Access Control terminal and a Time & Attendance recorder. Door Access Control decisions are based upon “Who” the user is and “When” the user is permitted door access. The F4 Vista will verify “who” the user is. But “when” the user is actually permitted door access can be decided EITHER by the F4 Vista OR a 3rd party Access Control panel. If the F4 Vista validates the identity of the user AND determines the user is permitted door access AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME, the door will release. If the F4 Vista verifies the user’s identity BUT determines the user is NOT permitted door access AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME, the door will NOT release. 59 Basic Concepts This section explains and describes the functions and options of enrolling the users; • • • • User Enrollment/Verification Match Threshold Levels User ID Numbers Authority (Status) Levels The two most important functions are user enrollment and user verification. User Enrollment/Verification Enrollment is the process of associating an ID number to the user’s finger/s to create a template. This template is stored in the memory of F4 Vista for future verification. During user verification, the stored template is compared to the current fingerprint scan to confirm the user’s identity. The enrollment process takes approximately 2-4 seconds. Up to ten fingers can be enrolled for the same ID number, so the user may have more verification options. Ideally, we recommend enrolling one finger from each hand so that in case of injury to one hand, the user can use the finger from the other hand as a backup. It is recommended to enroll either index fingers and/or middle fingers. For users with extremely thin fingers, we recommend to enroll the thumb. For users whose fingers are difficult to enroll or cannot be enrolled, we recommend to enroll the password along with fingerprint. 60 Match Threshold Levels The Match Threshold is the degree to which a verification is performed to ensure that the user is who he/she claims to be. The Match Threshold Levels establishes a balance between False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR). FAR measures how often a non-authorized user is falsely recognized and granted access to the system. FRR measures how often an enrolled and authorized user, who should be granted access to the system, is denied on the basis that the system did not recognize him/her. You can set match threshold levels on a per user basis. However for fingerprints which are facing difficulties in verification we recommend to use 1:1 matching (i.e. User first enters his/her User ID, and then places his/her finger on the sensor for verification). Raising the threshold increases security, while lowering it increases throughput. Based on the quality of the fingerprints of the users, you need to strike a correct balance. For users with worn or damaged fingers, match threshold levels can (and should) be reduced. Table 1—1 Suggested Match Threshold Settings 61 FRR FAR High Low One-to-many One-to-one 45 25 Middle Middle 35 15 Low 25 10 High User ID Numbers Each fingerprint is assigned a unique User ID Number. This ID number is used to call up the fingerprint template from the F4 Vista database, each time the verification is requested. ID numbers can also be called up via the keypad or RF card Authority (status) Levels The F4 Vista has four authority or status levels; 1. Users People whose identity must be verified prior to releasing the door or having his/her attendance recorded. Users have no administrative privileges. 2. Enrollers People who are authorized ONLY to enroll new users or delete users from the system. . 3. Administrator People who can perform other operations, except set advanced options and enroll administrators. 4. Supervisors People who have access to ALL functions. Note: Until an actual Administrator is enrolled in the system, any user can access the Menu System. 62 Start-up window Plug the power adaptor to the main power supply or hit the Power button on the keypad and the following “startup window” appears on the F4 Vista. Welcome Check-In HH:MM MM/DD/YY DAY Note: The actual current date/time will appear. 63 Enrollment and Verification Procedures This section describes how to enroll and verify users on the F4 Vista. Note: You normally must have Enroller, Administrator, or Supervisor status to enroll users. But until an Admin is enrolled, all users have access to all the menu functions. Enrolling Users The first “enroller” with a new F4 Vista will have the capability of enrolling other users. If you will be the administrator of the F4 Vista, be sure to select “Administrator” when enrolling your fingerprint(s)”. There are three modes of enrollment; 1. Fingerprint enrollment 2. Password enrollment 3. Fingerprint & password enrollment The type of enrollment to be selected depends on the environment and how easily the users’ fingerprints can be read by the F4 Vista. Fingerprint enrollment should be used when the majority of users’ fingerprints can be read. This is typical of most office environments. Password enrollment should be used for users who cannot be enrolled nor verified by his/her fingerprint. It is not uncommon to have some users whose fingerprints are simply too difficult for the F4 Vista to read. Fingerprint & Password enrollment allows users’ fingerprint(s) AND password to be registered together, at the same time. Otherwise, these are normally 2 separate operations. User Management 64 The User Management menu allows you to enroll and delete users and his/her respective fingerprint(s) and password. Some F4 Vista models can also enroll/verify Prox, HID and Mifare cards (aka PIN/FP cards); Enroll User Enroll fingerprint Enroll Password Enroll Fingerprint and Password FPCard Management Create PINCard Enroll FPCard Create FPCard Register FPCard Unregister FPCard Empty FPCard Dump FPCard Move To FPCard Enroll Admin Enroll fingerprint Enroll Password Enroll Fingerprint and Password Delete 65 Enroll Users Users (not including Admins, Supervisors or Enrollers) have NO “administrative” access to the F4 Vista, but can gain door access and have his/her attendance recorded. Note: Until an actual “Administrator” is enrolled in the F4 Vista, ALL “users” enrolled on the F4 Vista DO “temporarily” have administrative access. Therefore it is important to enroll an “administrator” on the F4 Vista soon after initial installation. “Users” can enroll with three methods; • • • Fingerprints Passwords Fingerprints and Passwords Enroll Fingerprint (for Users) To start Fingerprint enrollment, press the MENU key on the F4 Vista. 66 Scroll with the ▲/▼ keys and place the cursor ( ) alongside User Manage Menu ►User Manage Options PenDrive Mng ▼ Press the OK key.

Using the F4 Vista with 3rd Party Door Control Panels: WHEN THE F4 VISTA IS USED WITH A 3RD PARTY ACCESS CONTROL PANEL, THE F4 VISTA’S SOLE FUNCTION IS VERIFYING THE IDENTITY OF THE USERS. AFTER IDENTITY IS VERIFIED, THE F4 VISTA SENDS A 26-BIT WIEGAND SIGNAL TO THE 3RD PARTY CONTROL PANEL PROVIDING ONLY USER-ID MATCH CONFIRMATION. IT IS THE 3RD PARTY PANEL AND NOT THE F4 VISTA WHICH CONTROLS DOOR ACCESS IN THIS CONFIGURATION. THEREFORE, WHEN USING THE F4 VISTA WITH A 3RD PARTY DOOR CONTROL PANEL, REFER ALL ACCESS-RELATED QUESTIONS TO THE 3RD PARTY CONTROL PANEL MANUFACTURER AND NOT ZK SOFTWARE. 240 F4 Vista as a STAND-ALONE Door Controller The F4 Vista has five main Access Control Options: Time Period Settings: Defines time periods for which doors-access is normally granted or denied (i.e. Weekdays, Weekends, 9-5 day shift, Shift 2, Midnight Shift, holidays, etc). Group Options: Create Groups containing users with the same Access Rights. Assigning time periods to Groups: Assign the time periods to the group based on the Groups’ access rights. Access Combinations Allow door-access ONLY when multiple authorized-users/Admins are present. No single User/Admin can access the door UNLESS another authorized User/Admin is present. Lock: Set how long the door-lock remains opened after an authorized user/Admin opens the door. DSen. Delay: The Door Sensor Delay determines how long to keep the door unlocked, after an authorized user opens the door. 241 Verification Flow of Access Options User places the fingerprint F ifi ti No User Records entry but can’t unlock GRP TZ No Yes Yes TimePeriod Deny No Effective TZ Yes No T&A User GRP in unlocking Comb Yes Satisfy certain unlocking combination No Next GRP user Yes Combine to unlock door 242 Time Period Settings A Time Period is a user-defined period of time in which the door normally remains accessible or inaccessible to specified users or groups of users. Examples of time periods include work shifts, work days, weekends, holidays, annual company closings, etc. The F4 Vista can store up to 50 time periods. Each user can be assigned up to 3 different time periods. If a user belongs to “multiple” time periods, then he/she has door-access during all those time periods assigned to him/her. Example: Time Period 1 (TP No. 1) is weekend-access ONLY. Time Period 2 (TP No. 2)) is weekday-access ONLY. If a user belongs to BOTH TP1 and TP2, in effect he/she has access all 7 days of the week Time Periods use an “OR” Logic. Every time period has a START and END time. Time periods adhere to the format HH:MM - HH:MM Time periods are based on a 24-hour clock (no AM or PM). 243 To prohibit users for a 24-hour period, create the following Time Period: 23:59 - 23:58. This means there is no door access starting at 11:59pm until 11:58 the following day. The door is ALWAYS INACCESSIBLE, even though the user is enrolled in the F4 Vista. To allow unrestricted door access for a 24-hour period, create the following Time Period: 00:00-23:59 This means there is unrestricted access starting at Midnight until 11:59 PM. The door is ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE to users enrolled on the F4 Vista. How to create Time Periods: Press the MENU key on the F4 Vista. 244 Scroll with the ▲/▼ keys and place the cursor ( ) alongside Options. Menu User Manage ► Options PenDrive Mng ▼ Press the OK key.

This means the doors are accessible to authorized users ALL THE TIME. But if your operating hours are typically Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm, it is unlikely that your employees will need door access on the weekends. 247 Therefore, you might consider creating a “weekend time period” in which Mon-Fri is 00:00-23:59 BUT Sat and Sun is 23:59-23:58, as illustrated below: Def TP 1 ► Sun 23:59 – 23:58 Mon 00:00 – 23:59 Tue 00:00 – 23:59 Wed 00:00 – 23:59 Thu 00:00 – 23:59 Fri 00:00 – 23:59 Sat 23:59 – 23:58 ▼ It is also a good idea to create a Time Period during which all the doors remain INACCESSIBLE. This is typical of a holiday, in which case your employees will not need door access. Example: Restricting Door Access completely Def TP 2 ► Sun 23:59 – 23:58 Mon 23:59 – 23:58 Tue 23:59 – 23:58 Wed 23:59 – 23:58 Thu 23:59 – 23:58 Fri 23:59 – 23:58 Sat 23:59 – 23:58 ▼ In the above figure, each day is programmed with 23:59 – 23:58. This means the doors are NOT accessible to authorized users ALL THE TIME. 248 If your employees have 2 different work shifts, you might consider a Time Period for each work shift; Example: Restricting door access to “Shift 1 employees” If Shift 1 employees work 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Shift 2 employees work 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., then consider creating Time Period 2 (TP 2) for Shift 1 employees. This will deny door access to Shift 1 employees AFTER 5:00pm during the week. Shift 1 employees will also be denied door access all weekend long. Evening and weekend-restricted door access is illustrated below: Def TP 2 ► Sun 23:59 – 23:58 Mon 09:00 – 17:00 Tue 09:00 – 17:00 Wed 09:00 – 17:00 Thu 09:00 – 17:00 Fri 09:00 – 17:00 Sat 23:59 – 23:58 249 ▼ Group Time Period Settings IMPORTANT - ALWAYS Create Time Periods FIRST Individual Users can be assigned to Groups.

Since working environments differ, it is not possible to define when exactly cleaning should be performed. The following is a suggested guide: Item Keypad and display window Cleaning Frequency Clean when visibly dirty and hard to read. Optical platen Do not over clean. The platen is designed to work under greasy or dirty conditions. However, do clean if the platen is obscured or if users report deteriorating performance. See cleaning the Optical Platen below. Cleaning the Keypad and Display To clean the keypad and display, use a soft paper tissue which should be slightly damp. 292 Cleaning the Optical Platen • If dusty, blow air on the platen to clean any dust particles. • If the sensor is greasy, wipe it with a mild window cleaner or other similar neutral detergent. Warning: Do not use any other cleaner or the platen may be damaged. Be careful not to scratch the platen. 293 ">
