FingerTRAX +G /ST & /SU

Integrating 1:1 and 1:N Fingerprint Recognition for all AIDC applications

FingerTRAX+G with RF reader

Based on the versatile TRAX+G platform, FingerTRAX/ST and /SU are terminals for AIDC (Automatic Identification & Data Collection) applications like Time & Attendance and Access Control integrating a fingerprint reader module beside more traditional card readers. The two versions have different biometric engines, FingerTRAX/ST for the verification only (1:1) of the used identity, while FingerTRAX/SU is capable of both Identification (1:N) and verification modes, at the same time.

Overview

• Flexible architecture:
FingerTRAX terminals have the possibility of creating several different types of configurations and applications using fingerprint verification/ identification in different types of transactions, offline, online, or semi-online.

• High security Access Control and Reliable Time & Attendance:
- user’s card reading or PIN entry have to be confirmed by fingerprint recognition (1:1 verification mode) or just the finger can be used for the identification (1:N)
- user identity fully guaranteed in 1:1 mode
- scarred fingers do not affect fingerprint recognition.

• Protection of personal data:
- no images are stored inside FingerTRAX+G
- during the enrollment phase all fingerprints are stored as templates and they are associated with the user’s personal code
- it is then possible to transfer the templates to all other FingerTRAX+G terminals
- all transactions take place in such a way as to protect individual privacy.

Extended Functions

•  The TRAX+G based authorization list, together with the integrated fingerprint reader, ensure that only an authorized person can pass through.

•  FingerTRAX/ST biometric module can verify the user identity by fingerprint (1:1 verification) after entering the personal code by card reading or manual typing.

•  Possibility of “shortcode” mode for avoiding card reading or manual entering of long personal codes. .....just press two keys and put your finger!

•  FingerTRAX/SU is equipped with a very powerful biometric engine capable of identifying 1:N with 1000 users, and storing up to 9500 templates in various modes.

•  With both versions, it is possible to specify a list of user codes for whom fingerprint is not requested. For each of them, it is possible to specify card reading or manual entering.

•  FingerTRAX/ST has the possibility of specifying a random probability for fingerprint verification request. It can be useful to speed up operations on peek time, when group of users want to clock-in/out, and still the deterrent of true identity is needed.

•  All the usual functions of TRAX+G are available: time zone check, programmed access criteria, use of PINs, checking inputs and piloting relays, transactions recording, etc., allowing for an access control system with a high security level.

•  FingerTRAX/ST keeps templates stored in an archive present on the file system. Two templates are associated with each single user code. Remote shell commands allow custom applications running on a PC to download the fingerprint templates archive, and then reload on other units, without repeating the enrollment process of all users on different TRAX’s.

•  The user’s template can be stored on a MIFARE® or LEGIC® card. (TRAX+G/ST only at the moment).

•  Each fingerprint template size can vary , with about 300 bytes as average.

•  FingerTRAX/ST verification time: 1-2 sec. FingerTRAX/SU Identification time is configurable.

•  FingerTRAX/ST supported applications: up to 1200 users in 1:1 verification mode with one fingerprint per user. FingerTRAX/SU supported applications: up to 4500 users in verification mode.

•  FingerTRAX/ST has the possibility of a type of on-line verification using templates from a database stored on a PC. In this case, the maximum number of users is only limited to the maximum value represented by the number of digits used for the user’s code. The user fingerprint verification is always performed moving the template to be verified into the fingerprint reader engine of TRAX.

•  The user code length is a parameter and can vary from a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 11 digits.

•  Most of the managing functions, like enrolling new users, deleting old ones, are performed from the FingerTRAX+G console, within the fingerprint manager operator menu.

Card Readers

•  “Read only” versions: with Barcode, Magnetic stripe and two proximity models to read the codes of the following proximity cards:

- 125 KHz EM4102 compatible,
- 125 KHz HID

•  Read & Write 13.56MHz ISO1443+ISO15693 proximity. These are also called the MIFARE® FingerTRAX+G/ST versions. These versions can work like read-only versions getting the user code to be verified from any ISO standard proximity tag, and also use MIFARE® ISO 14443A cards to store the fingerprint template of a user onto the card itself (Mifare classic 1K).

•  LEGIC® option: The FingerTRAX+G Legic advant version integrates the new RFID/advant LEGIC® module by TMC. An enhanced FW allows to store and manage fingerprint templates on 13.56MHz proximity cards (prime MIM1024 or faster ISO 14443A ATC2048/512 or ISO 15693 ATC1024). Thanks to this option, an unlimited number of users per terminal can be managed.

Similarly to the Mifare versions, the FingerTRAX+G LEGIC version supports a set of new commands to freely read and write on the LEGIC card segments. This version enables also the user to carry out automatic procedures for increasing or decreasing the stored values. These commands can work both on-line and off-line (script PROC).
