Chapter 1 Introduction

The fingerprint reader can work with GV-AS / GV-EV Controller and GV-ASManager to create a complete access control system. Three types of operation modes are supported: Card + Fingerprint, Fingerprint Only and Card Only.

Card + Fingerprint Mode

With the fingerprint reader only, you can enroll and manage users through the supplied Manager Enroll Card and Delete Card, along with optional MIFARE cards.

The fingerprint templates are stored in the user card. The user gains access by scanning both his/her finger and the card. The reader compares the presented finger with digital template stored in the card. If the finger is successfully authenticated, a signal is sent to momentarily activate the door relay of the controller.

Fingerprint Only Mode

The fingerprints are enrolled through a GV-GF1911 reader installed on the computer running the GV-ASManager software using RS485 connection or through a GV-GF1921 / 1922 reader using TCP/IP connection. The fingerprint data are distributed through GV-ASManager to the assigned fingerprint readers installed on GV-AS / GV-EV Controllers for access control.

Card Only Mode

This mode requires the users to present their cards only to be granted access.

Note: GV-GF1921 / 1922 can also work as a standalone device. For details, see 7. A Standalone Fingerprint Reader.

Chapter 3 Fingerprint Only Mode

The Fingerprint Only mode must work with the GV-ASManager software and the GV-GF1911 / GV-GF1921 / GV-GF1922 reader to enroll fingerprints. You must first enroll fingerprint data using GV-ASManager and then upload the fingerprints to the fingerprint readers. To gain access, the user's fingerprint must match the enrolled fingerprint.

3.1 Enrolling Fingerprints

There are two ways to enroll fingerprints: locally and remotely.

For local fingerprint enrollment, a GV-GF1911 / 1921 / 1922 needs to be connected to GV-ASManager, and the user needs to register his or her fingerprints at the site of the GV-ASManager.

For remote fingerprint enrollment, first enroll empty fingerprints for a user on the GV-ASManager. The user can then go to a connected GV-GF1921 / 1922 at a later time, and register his or her fingerprints using an assigned card. This function is useful when the user is not around GV-ASManager.

Note: The enrolled fingerprints will be saved on the fingerprint reader instead of on the GV-ASManager.

3.1.1 Enrolling Fingerprints Locally

There are two ways to enroll fingerprint data locally:

• GV-GF1911: RS-485 Connection with GV-ASManager

You need to physically connect GV-GF1911 to the computer running GV-ASManager through RS-485 connection. To establish RS-485 connection to the computer, a RS-485 to RS-232 converter, such as GV-COM, GV-Hub, GV-NET/IO Card or the USB cable in PC Service Package (optional accessory), is required.
