XS2-DPB, XS2-APB, XS2-ODPB, XS2-OAPB

  • QR/Barcode: Select whether to use QR/Barcode authentication.

  • Camera Timeout: If QR/Barcode is not scanned within the set time, authentication fails. Set between 3 and 20 seconds. Available only when QR/Barcode is enabled.

  • Use QR as Card: You can set up authentication with a QR code that has the same data as the CSN card or Wiegand card issued to the user. Available only when QR/Barcode is enabled.

Info

To use QR/Barcode authentication on XS2-DPB, XS2-APB, XS2-ODPB, and XS2-OAPB models, QR/Barcode must be activated in AUTHENTICATION → QR/Barcode Operation, and a separate device license is required. For more information, refer to License.

Fingerprint settings XS2-ODPB, XS2-OAPB​

You can change the settings for fingerprint authentication.

  1. Click and authenticate with administrator privileges.

  2. After pressing AUTHENTICATION, change the desired items in Fingerprint.

    • Security Level: You can set the security level for 1:N authentication.

    • Matching Timeout: Set the wait time for fingerprint matching. If authentication is not completed within the set time, it fails.

    • View Image: View the raw image when scanning a fingerprint.

    • Sensor Sensitivity: Set the fingerprint sensor sensitivity. Set the sensitivity higher to obtain precise fingerprint information.

    • 1:N Fast Mode: Set the fingerprint authentication performance. When you select Auto, authentication speed is set according to the total number of fingerprint templates enrolled in the device.

    • Template Format: Set the fingerprint template format. The default is SUPREMA. Changing the template format blocks the use of all previously stored fingerprints, so proceed with caution.

      Info

      Delete all user fingerprint information and then change the template format. If user fingerprint information is enrolled, you cannot change the template format.

    • Sensor Mode: Set to Auto On to turn on the fingerprint sensor when it detects the user’s finger. Set to Always On to keep the sensor always on, even when not scanning fingerprints.

    • Live Finger Detection: Set the fake fingerprint detection level. Higher levels for fake fingerprint detection may also increase rejection rates for actual people’s fingerprints.

    • Advanced Enrollment: Inspect the quality of the scanned fingerprint to save high-quality fingerprint data. When enabled, the device notifies the user if the fingerprint quality is low, helping them scan correctly.

    • Duplicate Check: Check for duplicate fingerprints during enrollment.
