  Preparing the CapeClock and Fingerprint Reader

  1. Install CapeClock Setup Software.

  1. Connect Clock and Computer (Comm's port).

  2. Run CapeClock Setup Program.

  3. Set up Clock as per normal using General Tab.

It is important that when you are setting up the CapeClock to be used with the Fingerprint Reader, that the Card Length (Diags tab) for both Mem and EEPROM are set to 10.

  1. Connect Computer (Comm's port) to connector at bottom of Fingerprint Reader.

 

  1. Select the Biometric toolbar option.

 

  Preparing Tags

Note:       To follow the correct procedure required to prepare the correct types of Enroller and Deleter tags to suite your system and security requirements, you first need to understand the different type of tags that can be created.

 

Prepare Super and/or Master Enroller Tag(s)

The Enroller tag is used when a new User is to be added to the system. To prepare a Super or Master Enroller tag, proceed as follows:

 

  1. Using the CapeSoft Setup software General tab, select the type of reader that is being used (Proximity).

  2. If setting up for the first time, select the Initialize button (Init).

  3. Select the Get Settings button and check that the Enrollers 1 to 4 text boxes have a value of -1 (only if initialising for the first time). If Enroller tags have already been prepared, these text boxes will show the particular tag’s ID numbers.

  4. Select the Read ID button and swipe the tag to be used as an Enroller tag across the reader. The Tag ID will then be displayed in blue to the right of the Read ID button. Using the mouse cursor, select this Tag ID and drag and drop it into the appropriate Enroller number text box.

  5. Repeat step 4 for each Enroller tag that is to be prepared (maximum of 4 Enroller tags).

  6. If an Enroller tag is to be that of a Super tag, select the Super tick box for that tag (will show a tick mark when selected).

  7. Once the required Enroller tags have been assigned, select the Enrollers Set button.

 

Prepare Super and/or Master Deleter Tag(s)

The Deleter tag is used when a User is to be deleted from the system. To prepare a Super or Master Deleter tag, proceed as follows:

  1. Select the Get Settings button and check that the Deleters 1 to 4 text boxes have a value of -1 (only if initialising for the first time). If Deleter tags have already been prepared, these text boxes will show the particular tag’s ID numbers.

  2. Select the Read ID button and swipe the tag to be used as a Deleter tag across the reader. The Tag ID will then be displayed in blue to the right of the Read ID button. Using the mouse cursor, select this ID and drag and drop it into the appropriate Deleters number text box.

  3. Repeat step 2 for each Deleter tag that is to be prepared (maximum of 4 Deleter tags).

  4. If a Deleter tag is to be that of a Super tag, select the Super tick box for that tag (will show a tick mark when selected).

  5. Once the required Deleter tags have been assigned, select the Deleters Set button.

A single tag cannot be used as both an Enroller and Deleter tag.

 

Prepare Supervisor Enroller Tag(s)

To prepare a Supervisor Enroller tag using a Super Enroller tag, proceed as follows:

  1. At the clock where the Supervisor Enroller tag is to used, swipe the Super Enroller tag. The Green LED will then flash.

  2. Swipe the new Supervisor Enroller tag. The Red and Green LED’s will now be illuminated.

  3. The user who is authorised to use this new Supervisor tag must now place his/her finger on the fingerprint reader. If the fingerprint image is accepted by the system, the Red LED will switch off and the Green LED will remain illuminated for a short duration before switching off. If the Green LED switches off and the Red LED flashes for a short duration before switching off then the fingerprint image was not accepted and the procedure must be repeated.

  4. Once created (enrolled), the authorised user can now enroll new User tags using this Supervisor Enroller tag.

  

Prepare Supervisor Deleter Tag(s)

To prepare a Supervisor Deleter tag using a Super Deleter tag, proceed as follows:

  1. At the clock where the new Supervisor Deleter tag is to used, swipe the Super Deleter Tag. The Green LED will then flash.

  2. Swipe the new Supervisor Deleter tag. The Red and Green LED’s will now be illuminated.

  3. The user who is authorised to use this new Supervisor Deleter tag must now place his/her finger on the fingerprint reader. If the fingerprint image is accepted by the system, the Red LED will switch off and the Green LED will remain illuminated for a short duration before switching off. If the Green LED switches off and the Red LED flashes for a short duration before switching off then the fingerprint image was not accepted and the procedure must be repeated.

  4. Once created (enrolled), the authorised user can now delete User tags using this Supervisor Deleter tag.

 

 

Delete a Super or Master Tag

To delete a Super or Master Enroller or Deleter tag that has been created using the CapeSoft Setup software, proceed as follows:

  1. Connect the Computer’s Comm's port (that is running the CapeSoft Setup software) to the RS232 connector at the bottom of Fingerprint Reader.

  2. Select the Biometric tab.

  3. Using the cursor, select and highlight the Tag ID (listed in the appropriate text box) to be deleted and then type in the value -1.

  4. Once the required Tag ID’s have been changed select the Enroller / Deleter  Set button respectively.

 

 

Delete a Supervisor Tag

To delete a Supervisor tag that has been created using a Super Enroller or Deleter tag, proceed as follows:

  1. At the reader where the Supervisor Enroller or Deleter tag is to be deleted, swipe a Master Deleter tag. The Red LED will flash.

  2. Swipe the Supervisor tag to be deleted and when the tag has been deleted the Green LED will illuminate for a short duration and then switch off.

 

 

Enrolling a User Tag

To enroll a User tag, proceed as follows:

  1. At the Fingerprint Reader where the new User tag is to be used, first swipe an Enroller tag.

  2. Depending on the type of Enroller tag used:

  1.  If a Super or Master Enroller tag is used, the Green LED will then flash.

  2.  If a Supervisor Enroller tag is used, the Green and Red LED’s will illuminate. The authorised user of the Supervisor Enroller tag must now place there finger on the fingerprint reader. If verified the Red LED will switch off and the Green LED will flash. If the fingerprint was not verified, the Green LED will switch off and Red LED will remain illuminated for a short duration and then switch off.

  1. Swipe the new User tag and the Red and Green LED's will be illuminated.

  2. The new User must now place his/her finger on the Fingerprint Reader. If the fingerprint image is accepted by the system, the Red LED will switch off and the Green LED will remain illuminated for a short duration before switching off. If the Green LED switches off and the Red LED flashes for a short duration before switching off then the fingerprint image was not accepted and the procedure must be repeated.

 

To obtain the best fingerprint, with the finger raised, position the finger so that the Ridge-lock rests comfortably within the first indentation of the finger. Now lower the finger onto the sensor and apply very moderate pressure.

 

 

Deleting a User Tag

To delete a User tag from the system, proceed as follows:

  1. At the Fingerprint Reader where the User tag information is to be deleted, swipe the Deleter tag.

  2. Depending on the type of Deleter tag used:

a.       If a Master Deleter tag is used, the Red LED will flash.

b.       If a Supervisor Deleter tag is used, the Green and Red LED’s will illuminate. The authorised user of the Supervisor Deleter tag must now place there finger on the fingerprint reader. If verified, the Green LED will switch off and the Red LED will flash.

  1. Swipe the User tag to be deleted and if the tag has been deleted the Green LED will illuminate for a short duration and then switch off.

 

 

Using a User Tag

To gain access using a User tag, proceed as follows:

  1. Swipe the User tag across the reader. The Green and Red LED’s will illuminate.

If the tag is not recognized, the Red LED will flash for a short duration and then switch off.

  1. Place your finger on the fingerprint reader.

a.       If verified (Access granted), the Red LED will switch off and the Green LED will remain illuminated for a short duration before switching off. Also if set, the CapeClock will beep once.

b.       If the fingerprint was not verified (Access denied), the Green LED will switch off and Red LED will remain illuminated for a short duration and then switch off. Also if set, the CapeClock will give a No Access beep (normally two short beeps).
