You must enable the Door Access Password before it can be used, by specifying the corresponding authorized time and terminals. It is disabled in the factory settings. The only way to enable it is via the Internet browser (discussed in the Manual), under the “Quick Access" page.
Enrollment of Fingerprint
Fingerprint enrollment is to register a fingerprint template for later recognition. A good enrollment is crucial for all reliable fingerprint recognition systems, including the iGuard.
Each person must register two fingers: one as the primary and the other one as the secondary. In case that the primary finger is not suitable for verification such as when the finger is hurt, the person can use his/her secondary finger for the authentication process.
During the process, each fingerprint image is captured three times for minutiae analysis and extraction. If the quality of any one of the three images is not good enough, you will be asked to re-capture the three images again.
During the enrollment process, you must position the center of your fingerprint of your thumb to the center of the fingerprint sensor. The center of the fingerprint contains the most minutia points from which the fingerprint sensor can extract. A good fingerprint image captured during the enrollment process can significantly reduce the false-reject rate during later verification.
The following steps show you how to register the user's fingerprint template:
| Description | LCD Display |

Enter ID # and
scan 1st Finger
|
| Press <-- to return to the standby mode. | Mon 30 Aug 12:00 ID # |
| In the case of dry finger (poor fingerprint image), it will warn you for dry finger. You can either wet your finger with lotion and try again, or continue. | Scanning 1 of 3 Too Dry ! |
| If continue with dry finger, at the end, it will prompt you if you want to set security to low2. We recommend to choose low security only for time attendance application. | Set Security to Low2 yes(1)/No(2)? |
Enabling Automatch
This feature enables the device to identify a person without requiring the user to first enter his/her user ID, and must be turn on via the Internet browser, as described in the next section. All that needs to be done is to present your enrolled finger to the sensor and wait for it to match your fingerprint template with stored templates. Once a match is made, the door opens and the system will then return to the standby mode.
The maximum number of users allowed to access the iGuard using automatch is recommended to be limited to 30 users. This is due to the fact that the iGuard would require some time to process the fingerprint and then search for it across ALL the database stored on your iGuard. It is therefore recommended that the automatch feature is left for top management and the rest of staff can use ID plus Fingerprint for access. Also, user with poor fingerprint quality shall not use automatch.
Enrollment with Smart Card (for Models with Smart Card reader)
The user has to be created prior to use this function either the fingerprint is enrolled or the password is added. After the enrollment procedure, the user ID and the fingerprint template is stored in the internal memory.
Please note that only one (the primary ) fingerprint template is stored on the smart card.
The following steps illustrate how to write the user information to a Smart Card:

| The unit will prompt for another ID. | Enter ID # |
| Press <-- key once or wait till time out, the unit will return to the standby mode. | Mon Aug 30 12:00 ID #: |
Please note that the above procedure will overwrite all the existing informationstored in the Smart Card.
Registering an existing Smart Card
The first time a user accesses a remote unit in a remote branch with this smartcard, the user must register the Card to this unit. In addition, after registering the system administrator must also assign the departments the user belongs to, to grant the user the access rights required. After that, the user can use his/her card to access the remote unit same as the one in his/her own branch. The registration procedure reads the user information from the Smart Card, and stores the information in the Smart Card Memory of the internal user database.
The procedure is done via the Function 0 in the Setup menu, and is illustrated in the following steps:
