  • When set to All Devices(Including user update from device), user information on the server is synchronized with all devices registered on the server. However, user information modified on the device is not synchronized to the server, and only user information added on the device is synchronized to the server.

  • Select Specific Devices(Only devices belonging to the access group) to automatically synchronize only the devices belonging to the access group with the changes.

• Fingerprint Template Format: Set the fingerprint template format. Available options include SUPREMA, ISO and ANSI378. If there are still user fingerprint template remaining in the device, selecting a different format is not possible.

• User ID Type: Use of Number or Alphanumeric can be set for user ID. When Alphanumeric is set for User ID Type, BioLite Net, BioEntry Plus and BioEntry W cannot be used. In addition, all users saved in XPass and XPass S2 will be deleted and all settings except for the network will be initialized.

• Enrollment Device: You can designate certain devices that you frequently use for fingerprint and card enrollment as an enrollment device. Click the + Add and choose the devices.

• Custom User Field: You can add custom user fields for extra user information and these fields appear on the User page. There are three types of custom user fields: Number Input Box, Text Input Box and Combo Box.

• AC event log storage duration: You can set the period for storing the access control event logs.

• Hide Face Credential Preview Image: To protect users' privacy, preview images can be hidden when enrolling face credentials. If you enable this option, a preview will not be provided when enrolling the user's face or visual face.

Info

• If you select Automatic User Synchronization as Specific Devices(Only devices belonging to the access group), users stored in the device that do not belong to the access group cannot be managed by the server. If you use this option, go to DEVICE menu and click Delete Data & Sync Device for each device to proceed with the synchronization.

• Even if you select Automatic User Synchronization as Specific Devices(Only devices belonging to the access group), Access groups set up for special purposes, such as the following, will be synchronized regardless of the device's access group.

  • Dual authentication access group set up in the Devices and Elevators.

  • Bypass Group in the Anti-passback Zone.

  • Bypass Group in the Scheduled Lock Zone.

  • Scheduled Unlock Authentication Group in the Scheduled Unlock Zone.

Server matching

You can set up server matching. If you use server matching, the user’s fingerprint will be matched from BioStar X, not the device.

The Server Matching will appear when the Advance or higher license is activated. For more information about the license policy, refer to the following.

• Use Server Matching: Activates/Deactivates server matching.

• Max. Simultaneous Server Matching Count: You can configure how many matchings can be done simultaneously.

  Info

  • Max. Simultaneous Server Matching Count depends on the PC's CPU performance.

• Fast Mode: You can configure the fingerprint matching speed.

• Security Level: You can configure the server matching’s security level for fingerprints and faces. The higher the security level is set, the more the false rejection rate (FRR) can occur.

System log level settings

You can set the level of system logs stored in the database.

• System log level: System logs are managed according to pre-defined categories, and the log level is divided into Trace, Debug, Info, Warning, and Error. The high level contains all lower level logs. For example, when set to Trace, you can store the logs including Debug, Info, Warning, and Error logs.

Store Visual Face Image

Set whether to store both the actual image and the template in the visual face or to store only the template without storing the actual image.

1. On the Expert Settings screen, set Display expert settings to Use.

   

   Caution

   If there are any changes made in the Server menu, click Apply to save the changes before activating Display expert settings.

2. Click the to enter Expert Settings and set Store Face Image as desired.

   

   • Use: This is the default setting. Visual face stores both the actual image and the template.

   • Not Use: Only the template is stored without saving the actual image for visual face. If disabling this by setting it to Not Use, carefully read the warning pop-up before proceeding.

Caution When Disabling Store Visual Face Image Option

• Disabling this feature will delete all stored visual face images, and future enrolled visual faces will only store the template without the image.

• If the enrolled visual faces do not have both types of templates, this feature cannot be disabled. For more information about Face Migration, refer to the following.

• If this feature is disabled and Data File Import is performed, the data file cannot be imported if it contains invalid visual face templates. To resolve this issue, temporarily enable this feature before importing the data file.

4. Click Apply to save the settings.
