............................................................................B-2 Defragmenting the Hard Drive vii viii Part One Setting Up a New iA-thenticate Unit 1 Introduction to iA-thenticate iA-thenticate is a hardware and software system for testing the authenticity of travel and ID documents and for checking the identity of document owners. Basic document testing includes verifying the checksum digits in a documents machine-
readable zone (MRZ), checking its expiration date, and confirming the proper use of IR-absorbent (B900) ink. With optional software and hardware, iA-thenticate can test documents in additional ways and also check a document owners identity. For example:
With iA-Passport software, iA-thenticate can verify additional features such as UV patterns and security laminate. With iA-License and DL-Alert software and a magnetic stripe and bar code reader, iA-thenticate can read and verify drivers licenses and nondriver IDs. With TextWatch software, iA-thenticate can compare information read from the document against a custom database of names, stolen document numbers, or other important data. With an integrated smart card reader, iA-thenticate can read, verify, and cross-check information from an embedded smart chip. Hardware Configurations Note Not all combinations of these configuration options are available. iA-thenticate is available in several hardware configurations:
With a monochrome or a color camera A monochrome unit captures and displays grayscale images. The captured images are 768 576 pixels, 8 bits.
A color unit captures and displays full-color images. The captured images are 1280 1024 pixels, 24 bits. A color unit needs more processing power, memory, and disk space than a monochrome unit due to the larger images. 1-1 Introduction to iA-thenticate With or without an integrated PC
An iA-thenticate Plus unit includes an integrated Windows PC for running the iA-thenticate software and other Windows programs. It can also operate as a compact, self-contained unit without a keyboard, mouse, or monitor.
A standard iA-thenticate unit has no built-in processor but attaches to a host PC that runs the software. A monochrome unit connects through a PCI card, and a color unit connects through a USB port. With or without an integrated smart-card reader A smart-card unit has an extended document platform and one or two antennas for reading chips embedded in the front and back pages (covers) of documents.
A dual-page reader has two antennas for reading both front-page and back-page chips when you place documents in the usual way.
A single-page reader has one antenna for reading either front-page or back-page chips, depending on the antenna location. It can also read a chip in the opposite page if you reposition the document during processing. Basic Setup Options You can set up each iA-thenticate or iA-thenticate Plus unit as a full-featured document security workstation. You can also set up iA-thenticate Plus as a compact, self-contained unit with no monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Full-Featured Document Security Workstation In a full-featured setup:
You use a standard monitor, keyboard, and mouse (or touch screen) for interacting with the iA-thenticate software. Users log on just as they do with any Windows PC, with access privileges controlled by their accounts. You can use the workstation as a PC for running other Windows software in addi-
tion to iA-thenticate. Compact, Self-Contained Unit In a self-contained iA-thenticate Plus setup:
You attach no monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Test results appear on the built-in text panel. (You do need a monitor, keyboard, and mouse for setup and configuration.) The unit starts up without requiring logon and automatically runs the iA-thenticate software. 1-2 Setting Up iA-thenticate Setting Up iA-thenticate The next three chapters explain how to set up your iA-thenticate unitinstalling soft-
ware and hardware, connecting cables, logging on, and controlling access using Win-
dows security features. Note iA-thenticate Plus is not cur-
rently available with a color camera. To set up:

tion. 1-3 Introduction to iA-thenticate 1-4 2 Setting Up Standard Monochrome iA-thenticate This chapter explains how to install software and hardware, connect cables, and control access to your standard iA-thenticate unit with monochrome camera. Other chapters explain how to set up other kinds of units. Before you proceed with installation, check the Release Notes for new information. If you are upgrading from a previous version, you may need to follow additional steps. IMPORTANT Setting up iA-thenticate requires the same skills as setting up a standard PC in a networked environment. If you are not an experienced installer and system admin-
istrator, you should not attempt to do the setup yourself. Although setting up iA-thenticate is similar to setting up a PC, there are important differences. If you dont follow the instructions in this chapter carefully, your sys-
tem may not work properly. PC System Requirements for a Monochrome Unit The standard iA-thenticate monochrome unit attaches to your Windows PC through a plug-in PCI interface card. You install the iA-thenticate software on your PC, and iA-thenticate then operates as a peripheral device.

2-10 3 Setting Up Standard Color iA-thenticate This chapter explains how to install software and hardware, connect cables, and control access to your standard iA-thenticate unit with color camera. Other chapters explain how to set up other kinds of units. Before you proceed with installation, check the Release Notes for new information. If you are upgrading from a previous version, you may need to follow additional steps. IMPORTANT Setting up iA-thenticate requires the same skills as setting up a standard PC in a networked environment. If you are not an experienced installer and system admin-
istrator, you should not attempt to do the setup yourself. Although setting up iA-thenticate is similar to setting up a PC, there are important differences. If you dont follow the instructions in this chapter carefully, your sys-
tem may not work properly. PC System Requirements for a Color Unit The standard iA-thenticate color unit attaches to your Windows PC through a USB port and, for some configurations, a standard serial port. You install the iA-thenticate soft-
ware on your PC, and iA-thenticate then operates as a peripheral device. The result is a full-featured document security workstation that still has all the capabilities of the desk-
top PC. To work properly with iA-thenticate, your PC must meet these requirements:
Hardware Processor: 1.6 GHz Pentium 4 or better recommended; 2.8 GHz or better for a smart-card unit RAM: 256 MB minimum; 512 MB minimum for a smart-card unit Free disk space: 300 MB minimum; 1 GB or more recommended when saving captured images and data Video display: 1024x768 resolution, 65536 colors, or better An available USB 2.0 port (high speed, 480 Mbps) An available standard serial port (for units that require it) 3-1 Setting Up Standard Color iA-thenticate Configuration Swap file: Recommended 768 MB minimum and 1024 MB maximum for drive C and for the data drive (where you store captured images) Supported operating systems Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or higher with updates 823980 (Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026) and 828028 (Bulletin MS04-007) Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 Other software requirements Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 or higher with update 832894 (Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-004) Current Microsoft USB driver recommended; third-party USB drivers may also perform well Software Installation Be sure to install the software before you connect the iA-thenticate hardware.

Your iA-thenticate unit is now set up to work using factory-default settings. Probably you will want to change some of those settings. Part Two of this guide explains how:
Part Two: Configuring and Managing iA-thenticate Chapter 6, Using the Administration Tools Chapter 7, Configuring iA-thenticate Chapter 8, Configuring iA-Examiner Chapter 9, Managing iA-Examiner 3-11 Setting Up Standard Color iA-thenticate 3-12 4 Setting Up Monochrome iA-thenticate Plus This chapter explains how to connect cables, install optional hardware and software, log on, and control access to your iA-thenticate Plus unit (with built-in PC) with mono-
chrome camera. Other chapters explain how to set up other kinds of units. Before you proceed with installation, check the Release Notes for new information. If you are upgrading from a previous version, you may need to follow additional steps. IMPORTANT Setting up iA-thenticate requires the same skills as setting up a standard PC in a networked environment. If you are not an experienced installer and system admin-
istrator, you should not attempt to do the setup yourself. Although setting up iA-thenticate is similar to setting up a PC, there are important differences. If you dont follow the instructions in this chapter carefully, your sys-
tem may not work properly. Connecting Cables Note The included power supply might not have a power cord suitable for your coun-
try. In this case you must obtain and use a 3-conduc-
tor grounded supply cord with a plug cap suitable for your country. It must have a minimum internal conduc-
tor area of 0.75 mm2 and have a standard IEC 320 female connector. Referring to the diagram on the next page, make the appropriate connections to the marked connectors on the back of the iA-thenticate Plus unit. (You must connect a mon-
itor, keyboard, and mouse for initial setup, even if you plan to use the unit later without these peripherals.) To connect a monochrome iA-thenticate Plus unit:
1. Plug a standard monitor into the monitor connector on the unit, and plug the mon-
itors power cord into an appropriate power source. 2. Plug a standard keyboard and mouse into the matching PS/2 connectors on the unit. 3. Optionally, plug an Ethernet cable into the 10/100BASE-T connector on the unit. 4. Make sure the power switch on the iA-thenticate unit is off. 5. Plug the cable from the power supply into the power connector on the unit. 6. Plug the line cord from the power supply into a surge-protected power source that can supply 170 W at 100240 VAC, 4763 Hz. 4-1 Setting Up Monochrome iA-thenticate Plus e s u o M r o t i n o M 2 M O C 1 M O C d r a o b y e K e s u o M t e n r e h E t r o t i n o M T

1. Start the iA-thenticate unit by turning on its switch. 2. Log on with an administrator username. For a new iA-thenticate Plus unit, log on as administrator, with password iai. As soon as you log on, assign a secure password to administrator. Installing Optional Software Note This release requires version 2.0 or later of iA-Passport and iA-License. If you have other optional software such as iA-Passport or iA-License, install it now. Follow the instructions included with the optional software. Controlling Access This section explains how to control access to your iA-thenticate Plus unit, whether youre setting it up as a full-featured document security workstation or as a compact, self-contained unit. (See Basic Setup Options on page 1-2.) Users and Groups iA-thenticate Plus units are preconfigured with local user groups that let you give differ-
ent users the kind of access they need:
Local User Group iA-thenticate Users iA-thenticate Administrators Users Who Should Belong to This Group Personnel who use iA-Exam-
iner or Secondary Station to test and examine documents Technical administrators, security managers, and oper-
ations managers Access Allowed iA-Examiner: user functions Secondary Station iA-Examiner: user and man-
agement functions Secondary Station iA-Administrator All Users startup folder, C:\Documents and Settings\
All Users\Start Menu\

4-3 Setting Up Monochrome iA-thenticate Plus In addition, the units are preconfigured with these users:
Username Password Description administrator autologon iai
(Change the first time you log on.) autologon
(Do not change.) For initial iA-thenticate setup and continu-
ing master administrator access. For use with the auto-logon feature, which allows you to set up an iA-thenticate unit with no keyboard or mouse. Full-Featured Document Security Workstation If youre setting up your unit as a full-featured document security workstation with monitor, keyboard, and mouse, you control access by creating users and making each one a member of the appropriate group. To control access to a full-featured workstation:
1. Log on to the iA-thenticate unit with an administrator username. 2. Create as many local users as you need for the people who will use the system, and make each one a member of the appropriate user groupeither iA-thenticate Users or iA-thenticate Administrators, as described above. Compact, Self-Contained Unit With a compact, self-contained unit, the operator cant log on because the unit has no keyboard. So iA-thenticate includes an auto-logon feature that can bypass the logon dialog box and automatically log on with the username autologon and pass-
word autologon. To control access to a self-contained unit:
1. Optional: Create one or more users as members of the iA-thenticate Administrators group, as just described under Full-Featured Document Security Workstation. This lets an administrator attach a monitor and keyboard and log on when neces-
sary. (If you dont create any such users, an administrator can still log on as adminis-
trator.) 2. Enable the auto-logon feature and set appropriate options as explained under Set-
ting Startup Options on page 4-7. This section also explains how to bypass or dis-
able auto-logon when needed. 3. After setting up auto-logon, be sure to control physical access to the unit as needed, since anyone can attach a monitor and keyboard and use the unit without logging on. 4-4 Installing a Bar Code and Magstripe Reader Installing a Bar Code and Magstripe Reader If your system includes a bar code and magstripe reader, install it now by following the instructions in chapter 5. Whats Next?
Your iA-thenticate Plus unit is now set up to work using factory-default settings. Proba-
bly you will want to change some of those settings. Part Two of this guide explains how:

nation bar code and magstripe reader. The reader is preconfigured with the correct settings to work with your iA-thenticate unit. However, if it should lose its settings, you can restore them as explained in appen-
dix A, Resetting the E-Seek Reader. Note You can also use a key-
board wedge magstripe reader connected between your keyboard and PC. This reader is no longer provided by Viisage but is supported as a legacy device. We do not recommend this reader for processing credit cards. Installing the E-Seek Intelli-Check Serial Reader Note If needed, you can use a port other than COM 2. If you do, you must change the port settings in Exam-
iner (page 8-2) or DataPort
(page 10-8) to match. Follow these instructions if you have an E-Seek Intelli-Check serial reader. If you have an E-Seek Intelli-Check USB reader, skip to the next section instead. 1. Locate the longer serial cable supplied with the reader. 2. Plug in the cables 9-pin D connector:
For a standard iA-thenticate unit, plug the cable into your PCs COM 2 serial port.
For a monochrome iA-thenticate Plus unit, plug the cable into the units COM 2
(upper) serial port. 3. Plug the other end of the cable into the E-Seek Intelli-Check reader. 4. Plug the cable from the supplied power adapter into the reader. 5. Plug the power adapter into a surge-protected power source that meets the require-
ments printed on the adapter. The reader should beep three times when you connect the power. This completes the installation of the serial reader. 5-1 Installing a Bar Code and Magstripe Reader Installing the E-Seek Intelli-Check USB Reader Follow these instructions if you have an E-Seek Intelli-Check USB reader. If you have an E-Seek Intelli-Check Serial reader, see the previous section instead. Note that:
Your exact installation steps depend on which version of Windows you have and which USB drivers you already have installed. You may need the driver CD supplied with the reader. If you are installing on a unit with no CD drive, you can mount the CD on a network-accessible drive or copy its contents to a network-accessible folder. Connecting the Reader With the system running, plug the readers USB cable into an available USB port. Your next step depends on how the system responds:
If your system does this:

Finding Driver Files Follow these steps if the system doesnt run the New Hardware wizard but asks you to locate needed files. 1. In the Files Needed window, browse to the folder named DCM_USB_driver on the driver CD and click OK. 2. When the Files Needed window appears a second time, repeat step 1. Next, proceed to Configuring iA-Examiner. Configuring iA-Examiner After the USB drivers are installed, follow these steps to configure iA-Examiner to use the reader. 1. Open the Device Manager. (Right-click My Computer, choose Manage, and click Device Manager.) 5-3 Installing a Bar Code and Magstripe Reader 2. Expand the Ports (COM & LPT) item and find any USB Serial Port entries. Assuming your PC has no additional USB serial devices attached, you should see either one entry (if your unit has a serial cable) or two (if it has no serial cable). On a unit with no serial cable, one entry is for the camera. This is the one you found earlier and matched to the Color camera COM port number listed in iA-Administrator
(page 3-7). You are now interested in the other entry. Note the COM port number assigned to the entry. For example, it might be listed as USB Serial Port (COM4). 3. Start iA-Examiner by double-clicking its icon on the desktop or by selecting Start Programs iA-thenticate iA-Examiner. If you see an error message about serial port initialization, click OK to continue. 4. In iA-Examiner, click Mgmt Functions and then System Config. 5. On System Configuration Page 1, under Peripherals:
a. Select E-Seek Reader. b. For Comm. Port, select the number you found in step 2. 6. Click Apply and then Done. This completes the installation of the USB reader. Note: If you unplug the reader and plug it into a different USB port, your system may want to reinstall USB drivers and assign a different COM port number. In this case you must reconfigure iA-Examiner for the new port number as explained above. 5-4 Part Two Configuring and Managing iA-thenticate 6 Using the Administration Tools You use two administration tools to configure iA-thenticate:
iA-Administrator iA-Examiner (Management Functions) This chapter introduces these tools, and the following chapters explain how to use them to configure an iA-thenticate unit. 6-1 You use iA-Administrator to:

Chapter 8, Configuring iA-Examiner, describes additional ways to control and con-
figure your system using iA-Examiner. 7-1 Configuring iA-thenticate Viewing Unit Information The left side of the Administrator screen shows the computer name of the iA-thenticate unit, its IP address, the name of the logged-on user, and the iA-thenticate software ver-
sion. It also includes a button for viewing detailed version information. Clicking Version Details runs the iA-thenticate Version Utility, which shows detailed information about the installed software:
7-2 Setting Options for Basic Operation Setting Options for Basic Operation To set options for basic operation, run iA-Administrator (Start Programs iA-thenticate iA-Administrator) and click the Configuration tab. In each section of the screen, set the options according to the following descriptions and recommendations. ICAO Expiration Test Option Description Recommendations For an ICAO document, show an alert if the document will expire within __ days Tells iA-thenticate to display an alert for an ICAO document if it expires within this number of days. (When Examiner tests the expiration date of a non-ICAO license or ID by read-
ing the magstripe or bar code, it dis-
plays an alert only if the document has already expired.) Use the default value of 30 days unless you want the alert displayed farther in advance or not as far. 7-3 Signals and Alerts You can use audio signals and alerts with an iA-thenticate Plus unit (which has a small built-in speaker) and with a standard iA-thenticate unit attached to a PC with a sound card and speaker. Option Description Recommendations Beep when the operator may remove the document Beeps (using the standard system beep) when testing is complete and the operator may safely remove the document. Beep when the operator removes a document too soon Beeps at the selected frequency and for the selected time when the opera-
tor removes a document before test-
ing is complete. Deselect this if you are using a smart card reader. Otherwise, select it if you want the operator to hear a beep when the document may be removed. Deselect this if you are using a smart card reader. Otherwise, select it if you want the operator to hear a beep when the document is removed too soon. If several units are located near each other, you can choose different beep frequencies to make them distinctive. Startup If you want to use an iA-thenticate Plus unit as a compact, self-contained unit without monitor or keyboard (see page 1-2), you must set it up to log on automatically and to run any necessary programs. You can also set up a standard iA-thenticate unit to run programs automatically at startup for convenience. Option Description Recommendations Log on automatically at startup Run these programs automatically at startup Bypasses the Windows logon screen at startup and logs on as user autologon. This setting is only available if your user account allows you to edit the Windows registry. You may need to log on as an administrator to change it. After Windows starts, runs the selected programs automatically. To add a program, type its full path-
name. Selected programs are added to the Startup program group for All Users:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\
Start Menu\Programs\Startup\
Select this if you are setting up a compact, self-contained unit for use without an attached monitor or key-
board (page 1-2). We do not recommend using this option for a full-featured unit with keyboard and monitor, because it bypasses normal Windows logon security. Select the programs you want to run at startup. If you select more than one program, one may hide another after startup. If you select no programs, the Win-
dows desktop appears after startup. Configuring iA-thenticate 7-4 Setting Options for Basic Operation Restoring Normal Logon If you select Log on automatically at startup, Windows never displays the logon screen. To bypass automatic logon temporarily and to disable automatic logon, you must follow special procedures. To bypass automatic logon temporarily:
1. While starting or restarting the unit, press and hold the Shift key until the Logon dialog box appears. 2. Log on in the usual way. To disable automatic logon:
1. Log on as a local administrator or using another account that allows you to edit the Windows registry. 2. Run iA-Administrator. 3. Deselect Log on automatically at startup and click Apply. Hardware Option Enable the reset button Operate as an MRZ reader only Smart card reader Description Recommendations Activates the reset button on the back of the iA-thenticate unit, so that pressing it shuts down the unit. This works only when iA-thenticate is running. Select this only if you are setting up a compact, self-contained unit with-
out an attached monitor or key-
board (page 1-2), so that you can shut down the unit properly. Tells iA-thenticate to capture and test only visible and IR images and to skip all pattern and brightness tests. Select this only if you need maxi-
mum processing speed and you do not need the excluded images and test results. Selects the appropriate type of smart-card reader (if you have one). A dual-page reader has two anten-
nas; a single-page reader has one. Select either Dual-page or Single-page to match your smart-card reader. If you have no reader, the setting makes no difference. You must have write access to the Windows registry to change this set-
ting. If you dont, the options may be grayed out, or they may be select-
able but not actually have any effect. 7-5 Configuring iA-thenticate Advanced You will probably never need to change any of the following advanced options. You should leave them alone unless you have a specific reason to change them. Option Description Recommendations Display delay Polling delay Tells iA-thenticate how many milli-
seconds to display the test results from the last document processed before it starts looking for a new document to process. After it starts looking, it keeps polling according the Polling delay value (next). Tells iA-thenticate how many milli-
seconds to wait between checks to see if a new document has been placed on the document platform. Configure text panel for Selects which program controls the messages on the built-in text display. Use the default value of 0 ms. Use the default value of 300 ms. If you use iA-Examiner as your pri-
mary application, select iA-Examiner. If you use iA-DataPort as your pri-
mary application, select iA-Server or iA-DataPort. If you use a custom program as your primary application, select iA-Exam-
iner only if your program is designed to write information to the text dis-
play. Otherwise select iA-Server or iA-
DataPort. Do not select this except for testing purposes. Ignore iA-thenticate hardware Allow iA-Server commands from client programs Log iA-Server activity Tells the iA-thenticate software to operate as if the hardware compo-
nents (camera, lights, and so on) are not connected. Not currently used. Leave this deselected. Records iA-Server activity in a log file named iaT_Log.txt. This file is saved in the work directory (see below). Do not select this unless you have a reason to record iA-Server activity, such as for troubleshooting pur-
poses. Display iA-thenticate error messages Displays extra error messages that do not normally affect operation and are not normally displayed. Update status file BGStatus.txt located in Constantly updates a file named BGStatus.txt in the specified directory with iA-thenticates current status. Other programs can then monitor the status by reading this file. Do not select this except for trouble-
shooting purposes. Do not select this unless you are run-
ning a custom program that needs to read this file. 7-6 Setting Options for Basic Operation Option Description Recommendations Work directory The directory iA-thenticate uses for storing various work files. Color camera COM port The COM port where the color cam-
era is connected, set during installa-
tion. Appears only on color systems. Use the default directory
(C:\BorderGuard\Working\) unless you have a reason to change it. For further information, see pages 3-3 and 3-7. 7-7 Configuring iA-thenticate Setting Options for Saving Images and Logs You can configure iA-thenticate to save captured document images as well as text logs containing document information and test results. You may want to save these files for various reasons related to security, operations, and record-keeping. Two Ways to Save Images and Logs You can set options for saving images and logs here in Administrator or in Examiner. The two ways are independent of each other, and you can use either one. If you use Examiner to process documents, its generally easiest to use Examiner to save images and logs as well. And it offers more options than Administrator. Unless you have a special reason to do so, you should not save images and logs using both Administrator and Examiner. This table compares the two ways. Using Administrator... You can save images in JPEG (.jpg) format with several levels of compression, or in uncompressed Bitmap (.bmp) format. You can select the image types you want to saveany combination of visible, IR, UV, seal, and tamper. Using Examiner... The same. In addition to the visible, IR, UV, seal, and tamper images, you can save the ID photo from the visible image, the ID photo from a 2D bar code, and the ID photo and finger-
print image from a smart card. On monochrome systems you can save gray-
scale images. On color systems you can save color images, grayscale images, or both. On monochrome systems you can save gray-
scale images. On color systems you can save only color images. You can save the selected images and logs for all documents, or only for those that pass all tests, or only for those that fail a test. You can save the selected images and data for all documents. Or, for documents that pass all tests, you can save the visible image alone. You save document results in an individual plain-text (.txt) log file for each document. The document results lack some of the infor-
mation that iA-Examiner is able to record. Administrator includes no facility for viewing previously captured images and linking them to saved document information and test results. You save document results in a single data-
base (.mdb) file for all documents. You can also save individual plain-text or XML log files for custom processing. The document results contain additional information, including details about licenses and IDs, data retrieved from verification databases, data the operator enters manu-
ally, data from smart cards, and more. You can use the Viewer feature in Examiner to view prior documents processed by the unit and see their captured images, extracted information, and test results, as explained in the Viisage iA-Examiner Users Guide. 7-8 Setting Options for Saving Images and Logs To set data-saving options here in Administrator, click the Saving Data tab, and use the descriptions and recommendations in the following tables. Or, to set data-saving options in Examiner, see Configuring Data Saving on page 8-5. 7-9 Configuring iA-thenticate Captured Images Option Save Image format Location Image types Description Recommendations Set these options to suit your needs. Be sure the location you use for sav-
ing images has enough disk space. If the disk fills up, iA-thenticate will no longer operate properly. To reduce file sizes, use the JPEG format rather than BMP. See JPEG Image Quality, below, for more infor-
mation. Saves color or grayscale images, or both, to the location specified. Color images (color units only) are 1280 1024 pixels, 24-bit color. Grayscale images (all units) are 768 576 pixels, 8-bit grayscale. Names each file using the document type and number (if known), date and time processed (if needed to make the name unique), and image type. For example, for a typical ICAO document:
USA_P_12345678_VC.jpg where USA is the country code, P is the ICAO document type, 12345678 is the document number, and VC is the image type (can be I, S, T, U, or V, plus C if the image is color). The graphics file format for saving images, JPEG or BMP. JPEG files are compressed according to the JPEG Image Quality setting (below). The full pathname of the directory for saving images, on a local drive or mapped network drive. The types of images to saveVisible
(white light), IR, UV, Seal, Tamper. Document Results Log Option Description Recommendations Save document results Saves an individual text file of test results for each document processed. Select this if you want a record of document information and test results for each document. Location The full pathname of the directory for saving the logs, on a local drive or mapped network drive. Usually its most convenient to use the same directory you use for sav-
ing images (above). 7-10 Setting Options for Saving Images and Logs Saving Based on Test Results Option Description Recommendations Select the option that meets your needs. Note: You must also select the kinds of images you want to save (above):
Color images, Grayscale images, or both. Save images and logs as specified above Selects which images and logs to save, depending on whether they pass or fail these tests only: check-
sum, expiration, B900 ink, patterns
(visible, IR, UV, seal), brightness (IR, UV), and tamper. For all documents: Saves all images and logs regardless of test results. Only for documents that fail a test:
Saves images and logs only for docu-
ments that fail one of these tests. Only for documents that pass all tests:
Saves images and logs only for docu-
ments that pass all these tests. JPEG Image Quality Option Description Recommendations Use this quality setting for all JPEG images The quality setting to use when sav-
ing JPEG images, from Best (highest image quality, largest file) to Low
(lowest image quality, smallest file). This list shows the approximate file size of a single saved image. (JPEG sizes vary with the document and image type.) Format BMP JPEG Best JPEG High JPEG Medium JPEG Low Color 3800 KB 460 KB 220 KB 100 KB 30 KB 430 KB 170 KB 110 KB 50 KB 15 KB Grayscale Use Medium for decent quality and relatively small files. For better qual-
ity, use High or Best. Do not use Low if you want to be able to analyze images later for authenticity. 7-11 Configuring iA-thenticate Temporary Images and Logs As iA-thenticate captures images and creates logs, it holds them in memory while it pro-
cesses the document. As explained above, you can have iA-thenticate preserve these images and logs by saving them to a disk directory; otherwise they are discarded. In addition, you can have iA-thenticate write the images and logs from memory to the work directory, where they stay only until the next document is processed. Because this takes extra time, you should not use this option unless you have a reason to do so. Option Description Recommendations Write temporary images and logs to the work directory Writes the selected images and logs from the systems memory to the work directory (page 7-7). The images and logs from each doc-
ument overwrite those from the pre-
vious document. Image format The graphics file format for saving the temporary images, JPEG or BMP. JPEG files are compressed according to the JPEG Image Quality setting
(above). Do not select any of these except for a specific purpose, such as collecting the images and logs using a custom program. Note: If you want to use the Doc Log option described on page 8-7, you must select Document and MRZ Logs here. Select the format you want to use. 7-12 8 Configuring iA-Examiner iA-Examiner is the primary software interface an operator uses for viewing and analyz-
ing the results of iA-thenticates document testing. Examiner has a number of options you can configure and several system management functions you can perform. This chapter explains the configuration options, and the next chapter explains the management functions. To configure the basic operation of an iA-thenticate unit using the iA-Administrator program, see chapter 7, Configuring iA-thenticate. You should do that basic configura-
tion before you set the additional options explained in this chapter. System Configuration Screens You set configuration options for Examiner from several System Configuration screens. To display the System Configuration screens:
1. Run iA-Examiner (Start Programs iA-thenticate iA-Examiner). 2. On the iA-Examiner screen, click Mgmt Functions. 3. On the Management Functions screen, click System Config. 4. To display additional System Configuration pages, click More (and Back, when appropriate). This chapter describes the options on these screens and recommends appropriate set-
tings. 8-1 Configuring iA-Examiner Configuring Peripherals
(System Configuration Page 1: Peripherals) Option Description Recommendations iA-thenticate Automatically starts the iA-thenti-
cate system software when Examiner starts. iA-thenticate Startup Time-
out The time allowed for iA-thenticate startup and hardware calibration when starting Examiner. E-Seek Reader
(Bar code and magnetic stripe) Enables the E-Seek Intelli-Check combination bar code and magstripe reader (either serial or USB). Comm. Port Baud Rate Parity Data Bits Stop Bits Details of the communication proto-
col between iA-thenticate and the E-Seek bar code reader. Magnetic Stripe Reader Enables an optional magstripe reader other than an E-Seek reader. Bar Code Reader Enables an optional 2D bar code reader other than an E-Seek reader. Leave this selected for normal opera-
tion. (If you want to use the unit only to view prior documents and reports using the Viewer and Reports buttons on the Management Func-
tions screen, you can deselect this for faster startup.) Leave this set at its default value of 60 seconds. Select this if you use one of these readers. Otherwise deselect it. (See note at left.) If you select this and you also use iA-DataPort, you must deselect both Mag Stripe Reader and Keyboard Filter in iA-DataPort (page 10-7). Other-
wise Examiner will not receive mag-
stripe data. Leave these set at their default val-
ues: 2, 38400, N, 8, 1 Select this if you are using a mag-
stripe reader other than E-Seek; oth-
erwise deselect it. If you select this and you also use iA-DataPort, you must deselect both Mag Stripe Reader and Keyboard Filter in iA-DataPort (page 10-7). Other-
wise Examiner will not receive mag-
stripe data. Select this if you are using a bar code reader other than E-Seek; otherwise deselect it. (See note at left.) Comm. Port Baud Rate Parity Data Bits Stop Bits Smart Card Reader Details of the communication proto-
col between iA-thenticate and the bar code reader. Leave these set at their default values
(2, 38400, N, 8, 1) unless your reader requires different settings. Enables an optional smart card reader (for reading embedded chips). Select this if your unit has a smart card reader (and select the reader type as explained on page 7-5). Otherwise deselect it. Note Examiner and iA-DataPort cannot both use the same reader at the same time. If you use iA-DataPort and you select a reader here, you must deselect it in iA-DataPort (page 10-6). 8-2 Configuring Drivers License Processing Configuring Drivers License Processing
(System Configuration Page 1: Driver License Processing) Option Description Recommendations Enable Driver License Processing Bar Code and Magnetic Stripe Analyzer Samples Directory Path Prompt for Bar Code or Magnetic Stripe Enables or disables drivers license processing according to the options selected below. Enables validation of the magstripe or bar code on a license or ID card. The folder containing images of sample drivers licenses and other IDs that iA-License displays on the screen to help you select the correct document type. If the operator captures a license or ID without first scanning its bar code or magstripe, the system asks the operator to either do the scan or click the Skip Scan button. The prompt appears only when the docu-
ment has a bar code or magstripe. Select this if your system has drivers license processing capabilities. Select IDCheck if you have this optional feature. Otherwise select None. Use the default path:
C:\BorderGuard\Resources\
DriversLicenseSamples Select this if you want to give the operator a second chance to scan a documents bar code or magstripe. Note The iA-License installer sets the Driver License Pro-
cessing options appropri-
ately. Normally you do not need to change any of these settings. 8-3 Configuring iA-Examiner Configuring Printing
(System Configuration Page 1: Printing) You can configure Examiner so the operator can print document results to the systems default printer. Before this feature will work, you must set up your default printer in the usual way using the Printers control panel (Start Settings Printers). Option Description Recommendations Enable Print Button Print in Color Activates the Print button on the Examiner screen. Select this if you want operators to be able to print document results. Sends color information when print-
ing, including green and red text to mark passed and failed tests. On a color unit, document images print in color. Select this if you are using a color printer and want the printout in color. Display Printer Errors Displays any printer error messages on the Examiner screen. Select this if you want the operator to see printer error messages. Print All Images Print Text Watch List Information Prints all captured images on a sec-
ond page (in addition to the visible image on the main page). Prints the detailed results of the TextWatch test. Select this if you want all the images included in the printout. Select this if you have the optional TextWatch feature and want the detailed results included in the print-
out. 8-4 Configuring Data Saving Configuring Data Saving
(System Configuration Page 1: Saving Data) You can set data-saving options here in Examiner or in Administrator. See Two Ways to Save Images and Logs on page 7-8 to compare the two methods and decide which options you want to use. Data Saving Options Option Description Recommendations Save Document Results Database Path Saves information and test results for each processed document in the document-results database (.mdb) file you specify. The full pathname of the database file, on a local or mapped network drive. This file, BGExaminer.mdb, is in BorderGuard\Bin\ on the drive des-
ignated for storing datatypically C, D, or E. Backup Directory Path Maximum Database Retry Count The full pathname of the directory for saving a backup copy of the cur-
rent database, on a local drive or mapped network drive. If the database is on a network drive, a network or server problem could break your connection to it. The Retry Count tells the system how many times to try reconnecting when this happens. For more information, see page 8-8. Select this if you want a text record of each document you process. Use the default directory or one that suits your needs. If you use a directory other than the default, copy the BGExaminer.mdb file from the BorderGuard\Bin direc-
tory on the data drive to the direc-
tory you specify. Examiner will not create a new file from scratch. You can also specify the same file for several networked units, as explained on page 8-8. Specify the directory you want to use for backing up the database, as explained on page 9-3. Depending on your network and the type of problem, the default 30 tries could take from 15 seconds to sev-
eral minutes. You may want to experiment by disconnecting the net-
work cable or shutting down the file server, and then adjust the number for a reasonable delay under those conditions. 8-5 Configuring iA-Examiner 8-6 Option Description Recommendations Save Document Images Images Directory Path Save in Subdi-
rectory with Units Name Saves the images you specify for each document you process, in either Windows Bitmap (.bmp) or JPEG
(.jpg) format. Gives each file a unique name based on the document type and number
(if known), date and time processed, and image type. For example:
Utopia passport #12345678, pro-
cessed 2004-May-18 at 11:55:22, visible image:
UTO_P_12345678_ 040518115522_V.bmp Maine type-1 drivers license

Unknown_040518115544_U.jpg On a color unit, the image types include a C: VC, IC, and so on. The full pathname of the directory for saving images, on a local drive or mapped network drive. If you specify the same directory for several networked units, you can then view reports that include all the units, as explained on page 8-8. Saves each units images in a subdi-
rectory of the images directory (pre-
vious item) rather than in the images directory itself. The subdirectorys name is the units computer name. Minimum Free Disk Space The amount of disk space (on the specified drive partition) that must be available for Examiner to con-
tinue saving images. If the space falls below this amount, Examiner dis-
plays a message and stops saving images. Disk Space Partition The drive partition to monitor for free disk space. Select this if you want to save some or all of the images for later refer-
ence. Color images take a lot of disk stor-
age space. To avoid problems, your drive should have plenty of free space. To reduce file sizes (but also reduce image quality), use JPEG compres-
sion (below). To avoid saving unnecessary images, select only the types you want using Save the following images, below. If you set data-saving options in Administrator as well as herenot recommendedbe sure to specify different directory paths to avoid file naming conflicts. Also see the next item, Save in Subdi-
rectory with Units Name. Select this if you want to keep the saved images from different units separate. Important: Do not select this if you want to be able to review prior doc-
uments as described in the Viisage iA-Examiner Users Guide. That fea-
ture does not work with images saved in separate directories. The default value of 10 MB is an absolute minimum. If you are saving images on your C:
drive, you should increase this to 100 MB or more to avoid problems with the operating system. Set this to the same drive you use for the Images Directory Path, typically C:\, D:\, or E:\. Configuring Data Saving Option Description Recommendations Convert Images to JPEG Image Quality Save the following images If Doc Passes, Save Visible Only Saves the images in JPEG (.jpg) for-
mat rather than Windows Bitmap
(.bmp) using the Image Quality setting you specify (below). The quality setting to use when sav-
ing JPEG images, from Best (highest image quality, largest file) to Low
(lowest image quality, smallest file). This list shows the approximate file size of a single saved image. (JPEG sizes vary with the document and image type.) FormatGrayscale Color BMP430 KB 3800 KB JPEG Best170 KB460 KB JPEG High110 KB220 KB JPEG Medium50 KB100 KB JPEG Low15 KB 30 KB The types of images and logs to save. In addition to Visible (white light), IR, UV, Seal, and Tamper images, you can also save:
Photo: ID photo from visible image SC Photo: ID photo from smart card BC Photo: ID photo from bar code SC FP: Fingerprint from smart card Doc Log: Log detailing how iA-then-
ticate initially read and analyzed the documentthe same as the Extended Doc Log Data listed on System Con-
figuration Page 5 (page 8-24). For documents that pass all tests, save only the visible image. For doc-
uments that fail any test, save all the selected images. This does not affect saving the docu-
ment results log. Select this if you want to reduce file sizes at the cost of some image qual-
ity. Use Medium for decent quality and relatively small files. For better qual-
ity, use High or Best. Do not use Low if you want to be able to analyze images later for authenticity. Select each image type you want to save. To save the document log:
1. Select Doc Log here. 2. Also select Document and MRZ Logs using iA-Administrator, as described on page 7-12. Also see the next item. Select this if you need only a simple photocopy of documents that pass all tests. This lets you save disk space while keeping important forensic information about documents that cause alerts. 8-7 Configuring iA-Examiner 8-8 Using a Networked Database Examiner saves document data and test results in the BGExaminer.mdb database, located by default in directory \BorderGuard\Bin on the drive designated for storing data. If you have several networked iA-thenticate units, you can save their data in a single database on a mapped network drive. You can then review the combined data and gen-
erate reports from it, as explained in chapters 3 and 4 of the Viisage iA-Examiner 4.1 Users Guide. If you want to review captured images along with the combined data, you can also save the images from all the units to a common network location. Performance and Reliability Before you decide to use a networked database, you should consider performance and reliability. Saving data on a network takes longer than on a local disk, especially if you save images as well. Be sure your network is fast enough for your application. Instead of saving uncompressed Bitmap images, use JPEG compression to reduce file size. A problem with the network or the file server can disrupt your operations. If a unit loses its connection to the database, it tries several times to reconnect, as speci-
fied by the Maximum Database Retry Count (page 8-5). During this time it displays a progress bar and prevents any operator actions. If it cannot reconnect, it lets you proceed but displays in red. As long as this message appears, the system is not working normally. You should not continue using it for production work until the connection is restored. No database connection When the network or server problem is resolved, the unit reconnects automatically within 10 seconds, the red message disappears, and normal operation resumes. Setting Up a Networked Database To set up a networked database:
1. Copy BGExaminer.mdb from its default location on one of your iA-thenticate units to a network-accessible folder. 2. On each iA-thenticate unit:
a. Map the database folder or its drive as a network drive. b. Run Examiner. Click Mgmt Functions, then System Config. c. On System Configuration Page 1, under Saving Data, select Save Document Results. d. In the Database Path field, fill in the complete pathname of the networked data-
basefor example, G:\Data\BGExaminer.mdb. e. Specify the Maximum Database Retry Count as explained on page 8-5. Configuring Data Saving f. To save images to the network folder as well:
Select Save Document Images. In the Images Directory Path field, fill in the pathname of a network folder for example, G:\Data. To keep images from different units in different subfolders, select Save in Sub-
directory with Units Name. To make image saving faster, select Convert Images to JPEG and select only the image types you need to save. To review document data and images, you must select at least the Visible image. 8-9 Configuring iA-Examiner Configuring Tests
(System Configuration Page 2: Tests) Note: The Viisage iA-Examiner Users Guide has more information about each test. Option Description Recommendations Checksum Test Max. Questionable Characters When a document fails the check-
sum test, Examiner shows the MRZ and highlights any characters it had trouble reading. But if there are more questionable characters than the number you specify here, Exam-
iner wont highlight any at all. Use the default value of 5 to avoid overwhelming the operator with too much information when many of the MRZ characters are questionable. Hide Expected Checksum Suppresses display of the checksum that the system expected to find. Select this if you do not want the operator to have access to the expected checksum. Hide Questionable Character Count Enable MRZ Data Edit MRZ Edits Affect All Data and Tests Display Checksum Correct. Screen on Alert Suppresses display of the total num-
ber of questionable characters. Select this if you think displaying the number would not help the operator. Allows the operator to change the captured MRZ data onscreen to cor-
rect reading errors. Select this option only if your opera-
tors are equipped to do such detailed analysis of test results. Accepts the operators MRZ edits as permanent corrections, and changes the results of any affected tests. Oth-
erwise the original data and test results are retained. Note: If the operator changes MRZ characters to remedy a smart card BAC failure (see page 8-23), those changes are never permanent and do not affect other tests. Automatically displays the MRZ editing screen when there is a prob-
lem with the checksum. Select this if you want the operators edits to become permanent, overrid-
ing the captured data. Select this if you want the editing screen displayed automatically. Otherwise the operator must click Edit MRZ to display it. 8-10 Configuring Tests Option TextWatch Test Enable TextWatch TextWatch Database Path Match By Name Match By Document Number Document Watch Test Enable Document Watch Document Watch Database Path Pattern Tests Display Pattern Confidence Legal Age Test Enable Legal Age Test Description Recommendations Activates the TextWatch test, which checks a watch list for matching names and document numbers.

Note: The system always tries to identify the document automati-
cally. This option only affects whether Identification is listed as a separate test. Some tests can show an indetermi-
nate result if their results are incom-
plete or inconclusive. These include Verification Database, DL Alert 2D, DL Alert MSR, and custom tests. This option tells the system to treat such a result as a failure so that it causes an alert. Controls additional tests designed for custom applications. For further information, contact Viisage Cus-
tomer Support and request the Tech Note titled Information for iA-then-
ticate Integrators. Keep this selected unless you do not want to display Identification as a sep-
arate test. Select this if you want indeterminate results to cause an alert. Leave all the Enable Custom Test options deselected unless you know they apply to your application. Configuring Document Processing

(System Configuration Page 3: Verification Databases) A verification database is an external database that iA-thenticate can reach through an Internet connection to verify certain information about documents and their owners. To use a verification database, you must be a registered subscriber. Currently iA-thenticate supports the VerifyME verification database. About VerifyME The VerifyME database includes information from U.S. states and Canadian provinces for verifying drivers licenses and nondriver IDs. It also includes information from coun-
tries worldwide for verifying the format of passport numbers. U.S. and Canadian Drivers Licenses and IDs When you process a U.S. or Canadian drivers license or nondriver ID, iA-thenticate typ-
ically reads information from its 2D bar code or magstripe. (Information can also come from other sources such as operator entry.) iA-thenticate uses this information to con-
sult the VerifyME database. It can then display information retrieved from the database and point out certain kinds of discrepancies. U.S. and Canadian information comes from departments of motor vehicles (DMVs) and voter registration offices. The sources vary by state and province. In general, DMV data tends to be more detailed and helpful for verifying documents and identifying their own-
ers. Examiner lets you specify, for each state and province, whether you want to consult the VerifyME database. If you find that you rarely get useful information from a certain jurisdiction, you can turn off database lookups for documents issued by that jurisdic-
tion. This saves you the processing time needed for the lookup, any fee associated with it, and the bother of retrieving and possibly correcting unhelpful data. When Examiner shows you the results of a database lookup, it lists the source of the data as either DMV or Voter. This information can help you make decisions about which jurisdictions to include in your database lookups. Passport Number Format When you process a passport, iA-thenticate typically reads information from its MRZ.
(As with drivers licenses and IDs, the information can also come from other sources.) iA-thenticate then checks the format of the document number against the VerifyME database and reports any problems. This test is more limited than with drivers licenses and IDs but does help detect forged or altered document numbers. Note You can find a current list of jurisdictions supported by VerifyME in the Support area of the Viisage web site:

The operator cannot proceed with document processing until the lookup either succeeds or times out. The types of documents for which you want to do lookups. Select the types you want to be able to look up using VerifyME. Tells iA-thenticate what information is required before it can do a lookup. For example, if you select Document Number, iA-thenticate requires the document number before it does a lookup. If you select more than one, iA-thenticate can do a lookup when-
ever it knows any of them. Tells Examiner when to display additional information after a lookup, which can include phone number, Social Security number, cur-
rent address, and previous addresses. For the VerifyME database, select Document Number and Full Name. Do not select Soc. Sec. Number. Select one of the options. 8-15 Configuring iA-Examiner Option Description Recommendations Maximum Hits to Display Manual Lookup Only Not used for VerifyME. Disables automatic database look-
ups, so that the operator must click the Issuer DB button to do a lookup. Leave this deselected if you want iA-thenticate to do a lookup auto-
matically for any document that meets the requirements set up for this database. Select this if you want no automatic lookups. The operator must then click Issuer DB to do a lookup. In addition, you must set up data entry fields so that iA-thenticate can prompt the oper-
ator for any missing information that is required for the lookup. On System Configuration Page 4, under Data Entry, select these for four of the listed fields: First Name, Last Name, Document Number, and Postal Code. You can leave the Required checkboxes deselected unless you have a reason to select them. For general information about configuring data entry, see the next section. Configuring Data Entry
(System Configuration Page 4: Data Entry) Description Recommendations Option Field #1
... Field #9 A list of fields for the data entry screen, which allows the operator to enter any missing information. The data entry fields appear in the same order you select here. If you mark a field as Required, then the system automatically displays the data entry screen whenever it cant find the required information. From the drop-down lists, select each field you want to appear on the data entry screen. If you want the data entry screen to appear automat-
ically when the system cant find the information for a certain field, select Required. To include a custom field, select User Field #1, #2, or #3 and see Configur-
ing Static Database Information on page 8-17. If you select Required for one of these fields, the system will always display the data entry screen. Note: To also let the operator dis-
play the data entry screen manually, select Enable Edit Button (page 8-20). Select Yes or No to include the Com-
ment field or not. To include the Comment field and always display the data entry screen, select both Yes and Required. Comment Specifies whether the data entry screen includes a Comment field where the operator can type addi-
tional information. 8-16 Configuring a Custom ID Type Configuring a Custom ID Type
(System Configuration Page 4: Custom ID Type) Option Description Recommendations Enable Custom ID Button Displays an additional button on the jurisdiction selection screen for pro-
cessing a custom type of IDor any other kind of document, such as a ticket or boarding pass. Custom ID Type The name to display on the button. Default Image Display The image to display by default on the test results screen, either Visible or IR. Dont Save Custom ID Images Tells Examiner not to save document images whenever the operator uses the custom ID button. This prevents saving images if you have selected Save Document Images in Examiner (page 8-5). However, it does not prevent saving images if you have enabled image saving using iA-Administrator (page 7-10). Select this if you want the operator to be able to use this button. Use a name no more than about 30 characters long. After you configure the custom ID button, check the jurisdiction selection screen to make sure the text fits on the button. Select the image that shows the most relevant information for the opera-
tor. The operator can also display the other images as usual. Select this if you dont want the images of this custom document type saved for any reason, such as privacy or security. Note the important condition in the description. Configuring Static Database Information

Names for custom fields, to hold any kind of information you want col-
lected along with the documents you process. For example, you might name two fields Spouses Name and Childs Name so the operator can enter this information as needed. Recommendations Fill in any suitable names. Assign suitable names for up to three custom fields. To make these fields appear on the data entry screen so the operator can fill them in, see the earlier section Configuring Data Entry. To fit more characters into the name, avoid using lots of capital letters. 8-17 Configuring iA-Examiner Configuring Debugging

tomer Support asks you to do so for troubleshooting purposes. Configuring Processing of Unidentified Documents Note For information about creat-
ing and using a custom database of nonstandard documents, contact Viis-
age Customer Support.
(System Configuration Page 4: Processing Unidentified Documents) iA-thenticate can automatically identify documents that conform to ICAO standards for machine-readability. With the optional iA-License feature, it can also automatically identify many nonstandard (non-ICAO) documents such as drivers licenses and non-
driver IDs. But what should happen if the operator processes a document that iA-thenticate cannot automatically identify? If you have iA-License or a custom document database, Exam-
iner can display selection screens that let the operator manually identify the document. Or, Examiner can process every unidentified document in a predetermined way. The following table explains the five available options. In most cases, either the first or last option is most suitable:
If you have iA-License or a custom document database:
Use the first option (Go to the jurisdiction selection screen) for the most flexibility in identifying and testing documents.
Use the last option (Process as a nonstandard document) if you usually want to simply capture unidentified documents without trying to identify or test them. If you do not have iA-License or a custom database, always use the last option
(Process as a nonstandard document). 8-18 Option Go to the jurisdiction selection screen Go to the following jurisdiction screen Process as category Country Code Jurisdiction Display the following document choices Display the most recently used documents as the remaining choices Process as a nonstandard document Configuring Processing of Unidentified Documents Description Recommendations For an unidentified document, dis-
play the appropriate screen or screens for selecting its issuing juris-
diction and document type. For an unidentified document, dis-
play a jurisdiction-selection screen other than the top-level onefor example, the one that shows all jurisdiction names starting with D. Always process an unidentified doc-
ument as a certain typefor exam-
ple, a Delaware Nondriver ID. The ICAO country code associated with this document typefor exam-
ple, USA. The name of the issuing jurisdic-
tionfor example, Delaware. May be blank. For an unidentified document, dis-
play a list of up to six document types to choose from. If the list includes less than six types, then also display the most-recently-
chosen document types as other options to choose. For an unidentified document, dont display any special screens for select-
ing its type or issuing jurisdiction. Simply display the documents image without testing it. If you have iA-License or a custom document database, this is the most flexible option. Consider this option if:
You have a custom document database for a certain jurisdic-
tion, and the database does not include automatic document identification.
You have iA-License, but you regularly process documents that the system doesnt identify, all from a certain jurisdiction. The operator can still display juris-
diction screens other than the one you specify here. Consider this option if most of the unidentified documents you process are of the same type. You must fill in the country code, and you may optionally fill in the jurisdiction name. The operator can still use the Retest button (if enabled) to retest a docu-
ment as a different type. Consider this option if most of the unidentified documents you process are of just a few types (six or less) issued by two or more jurisdictions. If you routinely process less than six types but occasionally process oth-
ers, list the routine types and also select Display the most recently used documents as the remaining choices. The operator can always choose a different document type using the Select Jurisdiction button. Use this option if you dont have iA-License or a custom document database. Also consider it if you want the system to simply capture unidentified documents without test-
ing them, or you only occasionally want to test unidentified documents
(using the Retest button). 8-19 Configuring iA-Examiner Configuring Display Options

Select this if you want the operator to be able to display the data entry screen even when the system doesnt display it automatically. Select this if you have iA-License or a custom document database and want to enable this feature. See Configuring Processing of Uni-
dentified Documents, page 8-18, for more information. Select this if you have iA-Passport and you want the operator to see and consider this information. Select the behavior you prefer. Enable Cancel Button Enable Edit Button Enable Retest Button Display Security Level Display Doc Info Screen on Alert Adds a Cancel Document button that lets the operator cancel evaluation of a document after capturing it. This button does not delete any saved test results or captured images, but it does exclude the canceled doc-
ument from reports. Adds an Edit button that lets the operator display the data entry screen for manually entering infor-
mation. This option applies only if you have selected fields to appear on the data entry screen as described under Configuring Data Entry, page 8-16. Adds a Retest button that lets the operator retest the document (usu-
ally without having to recapture it) as a different type of document. This is used when the system doesnt identify the document type correctly the first time. It requires the optional iA-License feature or a custom docu-
ment database. Used with iA-Passport, displays a number after the word REVIEW indi-
cating the level of security testing donefor example, REVIEW 2. See the iA-Passport Database Reference
(on the iA-Passport CD) for security level information. When a document causes an alert, Examiner normally displays infor-
mation about the first alert. Selecting this option causes Examiner to dis-
play general document information insteadas it does when a document passes all tests. The screen still lists all passed and failed tests, and the operator can click any one for more information. 8-20 Configuring Display Options Identification Data

(System Configuration Page 5: Smart Card Options) If your unit has a smart card reader, you can use the options in this section to adjust the way it operates. About Basic Access Control Some smart cards use Basic Access Control (BAC). To read information from the chip, the system must supply codes based on information it has already read from the docu-
ments printed MRZ. If iA-thenticate misreads the MRZ, access to the chip may be blocked. In this case the operator must correct the information manually before the chip can be read. Smart Card Options Option Description Recommendations Smart Card Timeout (sec) Placement Timeout (sec) Placement Timeout Action Prompt for Smart Card By Document Profile Always Automatically Display MRZ Edit Screen for BAC The amount of time allowed to read the information from the smart card. Use the default value of 20 seconds. The amount of time allowed to detect a smart card after the system prompts the operator to place the document on the platform. Use the default value of 5 seconds long enough to let the operator place the document but short enough to time out quickly if no chip is present. The test result to record if the system does not detect a smart card before the Placement Timeout expires. Fail Smart Card Test: Record the smart card test as failed Ignore Smart Card: Record no result for the smart card test, just as if the document had no smart card If the operator captures a document but does not scan its chip, the system prompts the operator to scan it (and waits for the scan until the Placement Timeout expires). By Document Profile means the prompt appears only if the docu-
ment profile database indicates that this document has a smart chip. Always means the prompt appears for all documents. If access to the card is blocked because the system has misread the MRZ, automatically display the screen that lets the operator correct misread MRZ characters. Select this if you want to give the operator a second chance to scan a documents chip with the embedded reader. Select the option you prefer. Select this to display the edit screen automatically as needed. Otherwise the operator must click Retry to dis-
play the edit screen when needed. 8-23 Configuring iA-Examiner Configuring Examiner Doc Log Options
(System Configuration Page 5: Examiner Doc Log Options) As explained under Configuring Data Saving (page 8-5), Examiner can save document information and test results in the document-results database. In addition, Examiner can create plain-text or XML log files containing document information and test results. In general, these log files are useful only if you have custom software that reads information from them as they are created. If you have no specific use for such files, you should leave all of the following Doc Log options deselected. You can preserve the final document logs if you like. All the others are temporary files, overwritten with each new document. Option Description Recommendations Examiner Doc Log Directory The directory for creating Examiner document logs. Save in Subdirectory with Units Name Creates each units logs in a subdi-
rectory of the log directory rather than in the log directory itself. The subdirectorys name is the units computer name. Use C:\BorderGuard\Working unless you have a reason to use a different directory. You might want to use a network directory accessible to a number of iA-thenticate units. Select this if you want to create the logs from different units in a com-
mon location but in separate subdi-
rectories. Save Doc Logs as XML Creates all the logs in XML rather than plain-text format. Select this if you want XML logs. Save Extended Doc Log Data Includes additional information in the initial and final document logs detailing how iA-thenticate read and analyzed the document. Do not select this unless you need the additional details. If you select it, you must also select Document and MRZ Logs using iA-Administrator, as described on page 7-12. Create Preliminary MRZ Log Create Smart Card MRZ Log Create Initial Doc Log Reserved for future use. Do not select this option. Select these options only if you use software that reads and processes this information. Creates a file containing MRZ infor-
mation from the smart card:

rarily for any reason, such as a prob-
lem with your Internet connection. 9-4 Part Three Using Optional Features 10 Using iA-DataPort iA-thenticate includes a data transmission feature called iA-DataPort. It can route data captured from a documents MRZ, magstripe, and 2D bar code to:
A program running on the iA-thenticate unit Another PC through a standard serial port A virtual serial port (using third-party software) Your own software can then process and store the data to meet your needs. 10-1 Using iA-DataPort Preparing to Use iA-DataPort Choosing Where to Send Data DataPort can send captured data to a program, a standard serial port, or a virtual port. Sending Data to a Program If you want to send data to a program running on the iA-thenticate unit, select the Sim-
ulated Keyboard option and choose related options as explained on page 10-7. Sending Data Through a Serial Port If you want to send data to another PC through a standard serial port, you need:
An available serial port on your iA-thenticate unit (either on the back of a Plus unit or on the PC that a standard unit is attached to) An available serial port on the other PC A null-modem serial cable To use the serial port connection:
Note A standard color iA-thenti-
cate unit attaches to its host PC through COM 1 by default. If your unit is set up this way, you must change the port that iA-DataPort uses. 1. Attach the null-modem cable between the serial ports on the iA-thenticate unit and the other PC. By default, iA-DataPort sends data through the COM 1 port. (On a Plus unit, this is the lower serial connector.) If you use a different port number, you must change the communication port settings to match, as described on page 10-8. 2. Select the Communications Port option as explained on page 10-7. Sending Data Through a Virtual Port Sending data through a virtual serial port allows another program running on the iA-thenticate unit to receive and process the data as if it were coming in through a stan-
dard serial port. To use a virtual serial port:
Install and configure appropriate third-party software for setting up a virtual serial port on your iA-thenticate unit. Select the Communications Port option as explained on page 10-7. 10-2 Note If you use the E-Seek Intelli-
Check reader, you do not need this filter. Preparing to Use iA-DataPort Using the Optional Keyboard Filter If you want to transmit data from a magstripe reader other than the E-Seek Intelli-
Check combined magstripe and bar code reader, you may want to install and use the optional keyboard filter provided with iA-DataPort. A magstripe reader sends data as if it were typed on a keyboard. Depending on how you use your unit, magstripe and keyboard data can sometimes be sent to the wrong pro-
gram. The keyboard filter can prevent this problem by recognizing magstripe data and sending it to iA-DataPort, no matter which other programs are running. After installing the filter, you can enable or disable it anytime as explained on page 10-7. To install the optional keyboard filter:
Windows 2000 1. Open the System control panel. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager. Windows XP 1. Open the System control panel. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager. 2.

cation which has focus. To send the output to a specific program window, select Send data to the window with the following title. Enter the windows full title (exactly as it appears in the title bar), or enter enough characters from the beginning or end of the windows title to identify it uniquely. For example, if the windows title is Log0001.txt - Notepad, you might enter either Log or Notepad. To restore the specified program window after each read (if its minimized), select Restore Window if it is Minimized. 10-7 Using iA-DataPort Configuring Communication Port Settings You must configure iA-thenticates port settings so that they match those of your iA-thenticate unit and your bar code reader. To configure communication port settings:
1. Select Settings Comm Ports Settings. 2. If you want to send data to another PC through the iA-thenticate units serial port as described on page 10-2, select the appropriate values under Data Output Port Settings. The Comm Port number must match the port to which the null modem cable is attached. 3. For the 2D Bar Code Input Port settings, select values that match those set for your bar code reader. The default values for the E-Seek Intelli-Check reader are 2, 38400, 8, N, 1. 4. Click OK. Configuring Data Format Settings You can format the data that iA-thenticate sends to your application by specifying the characters used for starting, ending, and delineating each group of data. For MRZ data, you can specify as many as three characters to start the block of data, three characters to end the block of data, and three characters to insert after each line of the MRZ within the block of data, as well as a calculated check digit. Similarly, you can specify starting, ending, delineating, and check digit characters separately for magstripe data and 2D bar code data. Note To restore the factory-set values, click Restore Default Settings. 10-8 Configuring Settings To configure data format settings:
1. Select Settings Data Format Settings. 2. Under MRZ Format Options:
a. Specify as many as three characters to send at the start of the MRZ data. To specify a character, you can:
Select it from the drop-down list of special characters, including NUL, STX, ETX, EOT, ENQ, ACK, HT, LF, VT, FF, CR, and ESC. Or, select Other from the drop-down list and type the characters decimal ASCII value in the box to the right of the list b. Specify as many as three characters to insert at the end of the first line of MRZ data. Do the same for the second line and third line of MRZ data. c. Specify as many as three characters to send at the end of the entire block of MRZ data. d. Specify that a check digit be sent at the end of the data, calculated using the CRC16-ARINC algorithm. 3. Similarly, specify starting, delineating, and ending characters under Mag Stripe For-
mat Options and 2D Bar Code Format Options. You can also select the check digit option for each. 4. Click OK. Note To restore the default set-
tings for one of the kinds of data, click the matching Restore Defaults button. 10-9 Using iA-DataPort Configuring MRZ Data Format Settings In addition to the MRZ formatting options you set on the Data Format Settings screen, you can also format the MRZ data in other ways. To configure MRZ data format settings:
1. Select Settings MRZ Format Settings. 2. To make the data length the same for each MRZ line in a document, filling out shorter lines with extra characters to be the same length as the longest line, select Pad Shorter MRZ Lines. Specify the pad character you want to use. 3. To replace any character that iA-thenticate has trouble reading with a different character:
a. Select Replace Low Confidence Characters. b. For Minimum Confidence, specify how low the systems confidence must be before it replaces a character. The range is 0.0 to 1.0, and the default is 0.8. Lowering the value tells the system to allow lower confidence in its readings, so it replaces fewer characters. Raising the value tells the system to require higher confidence in its readings, so it replaces more characters. 10-10 Notes
One field you can select is Pass/Fail. This is not MRZ data but an extra field for sending overall test results. Select Pass/Fail if you want to send P when a document passes all tests, or F when a document fails any test.
Setting Max Len and Min Len to the same number results in a fixed-length field.
If you select Delete Spaces, DataPort removes the embedded spaces before adjusting the fields length using the Max Len and Min Len settings. Configuring Settings c. For Replacement Character, specify which character you want substituted for each doubtful character. For example, you might want to use a question mark
(?) or underscore (_). 4. To send a notation or other text when iA-thenticate is unable to automatically iden-
tify the document as a specific type (whether ICAO or non-ICAO), select MRZ1 Non-
standard Output and enter the text you want to send. For example, you might want to send a notation such as [Unknown document]. 5. Leave Custom MRZ Format deselected unless you have created a custom MRZ-pro-
cessing application in consultation with Viisage Customer Support. 6. To process the captured MRZ data and send it in a different format, select Reformat MRZ Data and then choose how you want to format each field, in order. For each field:
a. Under Field, select the name of the fieldfor example, Surname. b. If you want the field to be no longer than a certain length when DataPort sends it, specify that length under Max Len. DataPort then truncates longer fields to this length. If you dont want a long field truncated, leave Max Len blank. c. If you want the field to be at least a certain length when DataPort sends it:
Under Min Len, specify the minimum number of characters the field should contain. Under Pad Character, type the character you want to use to fill out a short field to the minimum length. The default is a space. If you dont want the field padded to any minimum length, leave Min Len blank or enter 0 (zero). d. If you want all spaces in the field removed, select Delete Spaces. For example, VAN LIND would become VANLIND. e. Under Termination Char, specify the character to insert immediately after a vari-
able-length field to mark its end. You can select various untypeable characters
(such as NUL) from the drop-down list, or you can enter any typeable character
(such as >) in the second box. Finally, specify the Date Format you want to use for sending dates. This determines the day-month-year order, the punctuation used between elements, the month for-
mat (number or abbreviation), and the year format (2 or 4 digits). For example, for August 14, 2003:
This date format... Sends this data... mm/dd/yy yyyy-mm-dd dd mmm yyyy 08/14/03 2003-08-14 14 Aug 2003 7. Click OK. 10-11 Using iA-DataPort Configuring Data Transmit Settings You can select which kinds of data you want iA-thenticate to transmitany combina-
tion of MRZ data, magstripe data, and 2D bar code data. To configure data transmit settings:
1. Select Settings Data Transmit Settings. 2. Select all the kinds of data you want iA-thenticate to transmit to your application. 3. If you select MRZ Data, you can also select either or both of these options, to prevent transmission of faulty or questionable data:
Dont transmit if MRZ length is incorrect
Dont transmit if MRZ has a checksum error Configuring Display Settings You can make several choices about:
What kinds of information the iA-DataPort Utility displays on its main screen What kinds of information the iA-thenticate unit itself displays during operation
(apart from the iA-DataPort Utility) 10-12 Configuring Settings To configure display settings:
1. Select Settings Display Settings. 2. Under iA-thenticate Display:
If you want the iA-thenticate unit to show the captured information to the oper-
ator, select Display Reads on iA-thenticate. This causes iA-thenticate to display the results in a message box for the operator each time the unit reads an MRZ, mag-
stripe, or bar code.
If you want the iA-thenticate unit to read information without displaying the results for the operator, deselect this option. 3. Under DataPort Display:
If you select Replace Low Confidence Characters (page 10-10) and you want the displayed MRZ to show the replacement characters (rather than the original, doubtful ones), select Display Corrected MRZ Data. 4. Under DataPort Error Display:
If you want data port error messages to appear onscreen and on the built-in text panel whenever they occur, select Display DataPort Errors. You may want to do this when you first set up DataPort and to troubleshoot any problems.
To suppress such error messages so that the operator does not see them, deselect this option. 10-13 Using iA-DataPort Configuring Startup Settings iA-DataPort includes settings to set startup delays and to run the utility minimized so the operator doesnt see its screen. To configure startup settings:
1. Select Settings Startup Settings. 2. For Startup Delay, use the default value of 0 seconds. But if your unit is set up to run iA-DataPort automatically at startup, and you see error messages during startup, try increasing this value. 3. If you want the iA-DataPort utility to run minimized each time you start it, select Run Minimized Only. Do not select this option unless you have determined that you can run the utility minimized, as explained under Running the Utility Minimized on page 10-4. 4. For iA-thenticate Startup Timeout, use the default value of 60 seconds. 5. Click OK. Checking the Capture Devices You can use the iA-DataPort Utility to confirm that each of your iA-thenticate capture devices is working properly. With the Utility running, try capturing each kind of data and check to make sure it appears on the screen. To check MRZ capture:
1. On the iA-thenticate unit, lower the hinged light shield over the glass platform. 2. Place an ICAO document (with a standard MRZ) facedown on the platform, hold-
ing it flat against the glass, and slide it back and to the left until it stops against the edges of the platform. 3. Hold the document still for a few seconds, until the text panel displays Remove Doc-
ument or the iA-DataPort Utility displays the resulting data on the screen. Then remove the document. 4. Confirm that the correct MRZ data appears on the screen. 10-14 Checking the Capture Devices To check the magstripe reader:
1. Briskly swipe a magstripe card through the readers slot in either direction, follow-
ing the orientation diagram on the reader. 2. Confirm that the correct data appears on the screen in the Mag Stripe Reader field. To check the bar code reader:
1. Insert a document with a 2D bar code into the slot in the reader, following the ori-
entation diagram on the reader, and then remove it. 2. Confirm that the correct data appears on the screen in the 2D Bar Code field. 10-15 Using iA-DataPort 10-16 Appendixes A Resetting the E-Seek Reader Note iA-DataPort displays errors only if Display DataPort Errors is selected as described on page 10-13). If you have the E-Seek Intelli-Check magstripe and bar code reader, and iA-Examiner or iA-DataPort keeps displaying an error message when you scan a magstripe or bar code, the reader may have lost its correct settings. Typical error messages:
iA-Examiner: E-Seek identifier code not found iA-DataPort: E-Seek header is not enabled or an extra beep after reading a document To reset the E-Seek Intelli-Check reader to its correct settings:
Find the iA-thenticate Setup card supplied with the reader. If you cant find the supplied card, make a clean photocopy of this page on heavy, stiff paper, and cut out the card. (Or use ordinary paper and tape the photocopied bar code onto a blank ID card.) With the E-Seek Intelli-Check reader powered on, scan the bar code by briskly inserting and removing the card. The reader should respond with a warbling beep indicating that the settings have been accepted. E-Seek Reader Default Settings
(38400, PRECID) A-1 Resetting the E-Seek Reader A-2 B Periodic Maintenance Follow these procedures to keep your iA-thenticate unit working accurately and efficiently. Cleaning the Glass Platform During normal use, the glass document platform becomes dusty and smudged with fin-
gerprints. It can also become sticky with adhesives from the documents you process. To keep the unit working properly, you must keep the glass clean. You should clean the glass routinely at least once a week, and immediately if it becomes sticky. We strongly recommend using pre-moistened optical wipes to clean the glass. They are effective, safe, convenient, and inexpensive. Warnings:
Never spray liquid onto the glass or any other part of the unit. Never use an abrasive cleaner or pad of any kind. Use only wipes that are specifically for cleaning optical surfaces. To clean the glass platform:
Gently wipe the glass with a pre-moistened optical wipe. As an alternative, you can use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth slightly moistened with denatured alcohol or a nonabrasive glass cleaner. B-1 Periodic Maintenance Cleaning the Sensor Switch Sometimes dirt and bits of paper can slip underneath the document sensor switch. If these build up, they can interfere with the switch, so that the unit doesnt always respond when you place a document on the platform. About once a month, or whenever a unit has problems responding to a document, you should check and clean the sensor switch. To clean the sensor switch:
1. Raise the light shield and locate the sensor switch lever, at the back left corner of the platform. 2. Gently vacuum the switch area, being careful not to mar the glass. 3. Carefully remove any bits of paper stuck under the lever. Defragmenting the Hard Drive During normal use, the files and free space on your units hard drive become frag-
mented. As fragmentation becomes worse, your system runs less efficiently. About once a month, you should use Disk Defragmenter to check your hard drive for fragmentation and to defragment it as necessary. The check takes just a few moments;
defragmentation can take 15 minutes or more. To check and defragment the hard drive:
1. Log on as an administrator. 2. Run Disk Defragmenter (Start Programs Accessories System Tools Disk Defragmenter). 3. Select the C drive and click Analyze. 4. If Disk Analyzer reports that the volume needs defragmenting, click Defragment to proceed. Note: Even if Disk Analyzer reports that the volume does not need defragmenting, you can defragment it as a preventive measure. 5. If your system has additional drives, check and defragment them in the same way.
