S813 Biometric & Smart Card Reader
The Model S813 reader combines the Bioscrypt® MV1200™ fingerprint sensor with a
Philips MIFARE® / MIFARE® DESFire contactless Smart Card chip to produce a high
security front end to an Access Control and Security Management System. The smart
card is used to store a fingerprint template, so that when the card is presented
to the reader, the template is read from the card and the user is prompted to place
their finger on the fingerprint sensor. A comparison is then made between the live
fingerprint and the stored fingerprint and if the two match, access is permitted.
The S813 is able to read Philips® MIFARE® and Philips® MIFARE® DESFire smart cards.
For either type of card, the S813 supports the use of unencoded cards (where only
the unique card serial number is read), or cards encoded with a card number and
optional biometric data. Several encoding formats are supported. The reader can
simultaneously support two different card types/formats (e.g. non-encoded MIFARE
and smartMAX-encoded MIFARE DESFire, or nonencoded MIFARE and smartMAX-encoded MIFARE).
The reader is automatically configured to accept the first two card types/formats
presented.
The S813 has the flexibility to automatically switch between a number of different
operating modes.
No Finger:
Operates as a normal contactless Smart Card reader.
One Finger:
The use of only one finger only is required for a match comparison with
the template stored in the Smart Card.
Two Finger:
Two templates are stored in the Smart Card and the user must present both fingers
as prompted by the LCD display for a match comparison.
The S813 has a fingerprint acceptance threshold on a per cardholder or per reader
basis – Patent Pending.
A duress capability is also standard.
The S813 is designed for use with G4Tec’s multiNODE-1000, multiNODE-2 SMD, multiNODE-2000
and multiNODE-2100 controllers.
The S813 is only compatible with G4Tec's Symmetry Business, Symmetry Professional, Symmetry Enterprise and Symmetry Global
Software at Version 4.02 and later, with controller firmware of Version 2.1 or later.
Unlike the standard Wiegand interface readers, the S813 uses secure, bi-directional, Pseudo-Random supervised communications between the multiNODE controllers and their associated
readers. This advanced protocol provides many benefits
such as the ability
to turn on and turn off the fingerprint requirement from anywhere on the system using a command at the reader, a special threat level card or from the client software.
Also achieved through this integration is the ability to encode and use the threshold
directly on the card to increase reliable throughput and security.
A distance from any of the multiNODE controllers to the S813 reader of up to 3000ft
(1000m) can also be achieved.
The S813 includes an LCD for verification of both card and fingerprint read. The
LCD is also used for card PIN number prompt and for verification of command
functions initiated through the reader keypad. The S813 has an integrated buzzer
for confirmation of card read and local door pre-held warning alarms. This integrated
buzzer is also used to give audible feedback for positive confirmation of key press
for card PIN number entry.
