2.4 Communication and configurations

2.4.1 Communication parameters
Communication between the host and terminals is performed under an asynchronous mode. The baud rate
is programmable, enabling rates from 1200 to 115000 bps.

2.4.2 Multiple terminal configuration

RS-485 communication enables you to connect up to 32 terminals to a single COM port and/or to extend
the cabling distance to up to 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) using 9600 baud via an RS-485 multi-drop line. RS-
485 communication uses two wires as opposed to RS-422 communication, which uses four wires.

2.4.3 Point to point configuration

A single terminal, equipped with RS-232 communications, can be connected directly to an asynchronous
RS-232 port. If RS-232 communication is used, only one terminal may be connected to each COM port
and cabling distances should not exceed 50 meters (160ft).

2.4.4 Network connections

The terminal can be connected to one of the following communication networks:
Ethernet - For this type of communication, an IP address is defined for every terminal, enabling
communication with each terminal in TCP/IP protocol.
Bluetooth - For this type of communication, a pin number is specified, to authorize the connection.

3. Internal components
3.1 Battery back-up modules
The terminal has two back-up battery modules, one for the real time clock memory and the other for
operation during a power failure.
The standard memory back-up module is a lithium battery, which will keep the internal clock running and
the memory intact, for 30 days during a power failure.
Warning!
There is a risk of explosion if the lithium battery is replaced by an incompatible battery. You must
dispose of used batteries as per manufacturer’s instructions.

The back-up battery provided (in addition to the standard memory back-up) is a self-recharging system
which allows the terminal to be operated during a power failure. The battery provides power for one and a
half net hours of use. A shutdown timeout feature enables the terminal to operate for more extended
periods of time.
There are two types of timeout shutdowns:
• The firmware default timeout of 15 seconds. This option is used if the terminal has not been otherwise
programmed (to a different timeout), if the application specifying otherwise has not been loaded or if
there is an error in the application.
• The user defined timeout shutdown defined by programming the terminal using the SY protocol. Once
this option is uploaded to the terminal it is used at starting the terminal at Power On.
The default firmware battery shutdown timeout is 15 seconds. This timeout is used unless a different
timeout has been programed to the terminal using the Synel Protocol and uploaded to the terminal.
During a power failure, the user presses the battery key to activate the terminal. Data can then be entered
and stored in the terminal memory. The timeout will cause the terminal to shut down automatically after
the last use of the terminal, until the battery key is pressed again.

3.2 Memory
As a standard feature, the terminal contains a 512 Kb user memory providing storage for data from more
than 50,000 simple operations. This number depends on the length of the programming tables contained in
the memory, and the complexity of the collected data.

3.3 RS-232/485 internal Card

This card provides an RS-232/485 serial interface.

When selecting a place to install a terminal with wireless network communication (Bluetooth and Wi-FI) you need to
consider environmental factors that effect the connection. The optimal location is where:
Note: When selecting a place to install a terminal with wireless network communication (Bluetooth
and Wi-FI) you need to consider environmental factors that effect the connection. The optimal
location is where:
• The connection to the terminal is not blocked by walls or metal obstacles. This can be done by standing
at the location where the terminal is to be installed and viewing the area where the terminal is to have a
connection with and make sure that it is clear.
• The antennas should are positioned so that they are parallel to one another. If there are obstacles
between the terminals. the antennas should be positioned for the best clear connection between them.
For example, at floor level below the obstacle or at ceiling level above the obstacle, especially with
metal obstacles.
• For Bluetooth, use the terminal Quality option to check the connection quality. See “Setting up the
Terminal (Technician Mode)” on page 16.
• Do not install the terminal in a location where people gather and linger since they, too, block the
connection and also as to not expose them to radiation.

5. Mounting the terminal on a wall

Note: Make sure the unit is not plugged into a power source. If you have already connected your ter-
minal to a PC, disconnect it. You can reconnect it after you have completed mounting the unit.
Note: The terminal contains computer components. It should not be mounted where it will be exposed
to extreme heat or cold, water, steam, violent vibrations, high electromagnetic
radiation including high voltage power lines and electrical equipment.
Step 1: Select a location for the terminal. The following guidelines will help you find the
best place for the terminal:
• The terminal should be placed by an easily accessible power outlet.
• Make sure that there is enough space around the terminal for the communi-
cation cabling.
• Do not place the communication cable near a source of electromagnetic
radiation or radio interference such as power lines,
large machinery, etc.
• If the communication cable is to be wired through the wall, make sure that it
is safe to drill a hole at the desired location.
• For best usability the terminal should be mounted at employee eye-height.
The recommended height is 140cm (4’7”).

Chapter 7 - Host Computer Interfacing

There are a number of different standard communication channels.
The data collection terminal can be connected to the host computer using either an RS-232 or an RS-485
connection with an asynchronous serial port.
RS-232 is used for a single device with a point to point connection, for distances up to 50 meters (160 ft).
RS-232 is the communication standard used by nearly all PCs and modems. The cabling distance is limited
to 50 meters (160 ft) and only one terminal may be connected to the same COM port.
The RS-485 standard extends the potential cabling distance to 1,000 meters (3,280 feet). Using 9600 baud
enables multi-COM port connections. It uses only two communication wires. The SY-65 communication
adapter converts RS-232 to RS-485.

Most computers use DTE type connectors on their RS-232 ports. The terminal is equipped with an RJ45
(telephone jack) connector. Therefore, you will need a connection box intermediating the terminal and the
host.

DIRECT (RS-232)/MULTI-DROP (RS-485) CONNECTION

7. Installing communication cables

Follow these guidelines when installing the communications cables:
1. The cable should not be installed near an EMI sources, such as:
• Motors, generators, alternators, and transformers
• Air conditioners, elevators
• Radio/television transmitters, signal generators and internal communication
networks
2. Cables should not be within 30 cm. (1 foot) range from less than 5 KVA power lines.
3. Cables should not be within 60 cm. (2 feet) range from 5-10 KVA power lines.
4. Cables should not be within 1.5 meters (5 feet) range of power lines of exceeding 10 KVA.
5. Cables should not run parallel to power lines for more than 15 meters (49 feet).
6. It is best to use a single continuous cable for the communication line. If this is not possible, the cable
should have only one connection, indoors, as follows:
• Using two connectors with appropriate shielding and cover.
• Using a connection box.
7. For aerial installation, use N.Y.Y shielded cables.

Synel MLL Payway Ltd. 26

Host Computer Interfacing SY780A_760 and Sub-models

7. Connecting your PC to the SY-65

The SY-65 must be set to one of the RS-485 modes, i.e. 4,5,6 and 7. For more information, refer to the
manual for the SY-65 communication adapter. The diagrams below describe the pin outs for the cable used
to connect your PC to the SY-65 communication adapter. If your PC contains a 9-pin connector refer to the
first diagram, if it contains a 25-pin connector, refer to the second diagram.

7. Connecting the SY-65 to a connection box

A 24 gauge, shielded two wire twisted pair cable should be used to connect the SY-65 to a connection box.

Synel MLL Payway Ltd. 27

Host Computer Interfacing SY780A_760 and Sub-models

• Open the connection box.

• Connect the -TRX wire to the connection marked OR.
• Connect the +TRX wire to the connection marked BK.
• Connect the shield wire to the connection marked RD.
• Close the connection box.

7.1 If communication problems occur

1. Lower the baud rate.
2. Use cables with a heavier gauge conducting wire.
3. Connect 100 ohm resistors between the MRxD and PRxD, and also between MTxD and PTxD that
are at the ends of the wire of the following two connectors:
a. The connector on the computer.
b. The connector on the last terminal of the multi-drop line.
4. EMI protection is integrated into the terminal, but it is best to use an external protector for lightning
problems.

7. Making a multi-drop connection

Most computers use DTE type connectors on their RS-232 ports. The terminal is equipped with an RJ45
you will need a connection box intermediating the terminal and the host.

All terminals and their connection boxes are connected in exactly the same way, regardless of their
terminal IDs. The multi-drop line may be created in one of two ways: creating a chain of connection boxes,
using a junction box.

Chapter 8 - Maintenance
This section gives instructions for maintaining good working order for the terminal. The issues described
are:
• Physical Maintenance
• Calibrating the Real Time Clock (RTC)
• How to cause the memory to crash
• Formatting the memory if a crash occurs
• Fingerprint sensor cleaning and care

8. Physical Maintenance
8.1 General
Once every six months:

• Check and tighten the screws in the terminal such as the screws holding the power cable to the CPU
card.
• Verify that all components connected to the sockets are well adjusted.

8.2 Badge Readers

Once a month:
• Magnetic badge readers:
Once a month - use a special cleaning badge made of plastic with a polishing paper (made of Al2O3, with
a grain size of approximately 16 microns) attached to the part of the badge where it contacts the
magnetic head. Swipe the badge once or twice. Excessive polishing will result in wearing out of the
magnetic reader head.
• Barcode badge readers:
Once a month - use an air gun to remove dirt/dust or a special optical cleaner (e.i.: one used for eye glasses).
• Use a blower to clean dust off of the head of the reader.

8.3 Fingerprint sensor cleaning and care

A sensor is designed to provide years of trouble-free service. Although

maintenance and handling requirements are few in number, observance of a
few basic maintenance procedures help ensure a high level of performance
over time.
Several types of sensors exist, and each type of sensor requires a different
cleaning method. Make sure to use the proper cleaning method for the
sensor type you use..

Synel MLL Payway Ltd. 31

Maintenance SY780A_760 and Sub-models

8.3.1 Cleaning for Fingerprint Sensors

Oily deposits from your finger accumulate on the surface of the fingerprint sensor after repeated use. These
can inhibit the functionality of the sensor.
Scheduled cleaning:
It is recommended to clean the sensor at least once a week, and also whenever an oily residue is visible on
its surface.
For Capacitive Sensors
Use Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and a clean cotton cloth or tissue paper to remove oily deposits.

Do not use a soiled cloth or tissue paper.

A clean cotton cloth or tissue paper will absorb the deposits, but a soiled cloth will smear
the deposits over the sensor’s surface.

Alcohol is the preferred cleaning material because it dissolves oily residue and evaporates quickly.
The use of nylon brushes or scouring pads, abrasive cleaning fluids or powders, or steel wool is not
recommended.
For Optic Sensors
Use a clean cotton cloth or tissue paper dampened by water or window cleaning solution to remove oily
deposits.

8.3.2 Caring for the Fingerprint Sensor

• Do not place the fingerprint sensor close to a heat source, such as a radiator or hot plate.
• Do not subject the fingerprint sensor to heavy shocks/vibrations.
• Do not allow the sensor to come in contact with metallic objects.

Conditions.

The sensor can be stored in temperatures ranging from –60C to +150C, and can operate in
temperatures ranging from 0C to + 60C.

Sensors should not be exposed to rain or excessive humidity. A sensor can operate within a
range of 5% to 95% humidity (non-condensed).
Other than for cleaning, as instructed above in Cleaning for Fingerprint Sensors, do not
bring the sensor in contact with and liquids.

Authentec Sensors

Authentec sensors can be damaged by a discharge of static electricity from a human body.
However, the fingerprint sensor is typically encircled by conductive plastic, which is
connected, to a ground plane. You should always touch the conductive plastic before
touching the sensor in order to safely discharge any static electricity that may be present on
your skin or clothing.

Biometric concepts SY780A_760 and Sub-models

Appendix D - Biometric concepts

Biometric Definitions
Enrollment is the operation of scanning a fingerprint, determining the quality of the fingerprint scan, and
storing a good template together with associated data in the FPU memory.
The following enrollment methods are available.
One time – Enrolls a scanned fingerprint to a fingerprint template. Supported by all FPU units.
Two times – Scans the fingerprint twice. The two images are compared to each other and verified. If the
fingerprint images do not match the user is rejected. If they match the better quality fingerprint is enrolled
in the template. Supported by FPU- S units only.
Two templates – Scans the user finger twice and saves the each fingerprint scan as a template. The user
has two templates stored. Then, each time the user is verified, the module can decide whether to replace the
existing template with a new one. This update reflects the dynamic changes in the skin of the user's finger.
Supported by FPU- S units only.
One time Two times Two templates
Scan 1 2 2
Save template 1 1 2
Modification - - +

Scanning an Image
When the FPU properly reads a fingerprint, it looks for image quality and fingerprint content. When a raw
image is collected from the sensor during enrollment, for verification or identification, the FPU searches
for the fingerprint core.
Content scores are based on the amount of unambiguous data in the region of the core. The higher the
content, the greater the degree of useful information.
See Using Content and Quality for Enrollments for a thorough description of content.
Quality scores are based on how well the ridge pattern is defined within the image. For best image quality,
be sure that the sensor window is clean of residue, or other material that can block the FPU from the best
fingerprint view. Once the image is scanned, the FPU creates and stores the resulting fingerprint template.
Verification is the operation of entering a PIN #, requesting the user to place their finger on the FPU,
scanning the finger, comparing the current scan against stored fingerprint templates for that user, and then
notification of a successful validation or a failure.
Identification is the operation of requesting the user to place their finger on the FPU, scanning the finger,
comparing the current scan against all stored fingerprint templates (regardless of user). If the user is in the
database, identifying the user. Identification is only available on a searching FPU units.
Fingerprint Template is the data stored on the FPU that mathematically represents the pattern of an
enrolled fingerprint. This data is not the raw image of the fingerprint, but the result of processing the raw
image through a unique algorithmic process, preparing the data for later comparisons, and compressing the
data for maximum storage. An image of the uncompressed template data does resemble the raw image, but
whereas a raw image is 90K bytes, the compressed template is only around 400 bytes.
Fingerprint Core is the term used to describe distinguishing print characteristics usually found in the area
of the print where the topography shows the tightest curvature. Although the entire fingerprint has
significant data, the “core” is the most data- intensive area and therefore very important.
Proper Finger Placement
The basics for successful operation of the FPU are important.
System performance improves dramatically with consistent finger placement. It is important to make sure
that the position of the finger allows the FPU to record the unique features of the print. Follow the steps

Synel MLL Payway Ltd. 47

Biometric concepts SY780A_760 and Sub-models

below for trouble-free fingerprint recognition.

With the fingertip raised, position the finger so that the
Ridge- Lock rests comfortably. Then, lower the finger onto
the sensor and apply moderate pressure. The figure at right
illustrates proper finger placement and the resulting image
of the scanned fingerprint.

FPU operation - Instructions and regulations:

• In view of our experience, we strongly recommend that each employee practices finger positioning on
the sensor prior to actual enrolment!
• Avoid using thumb and pinky fingers since they are typically awkward to position consistently on the
sensor.
• Place the higher joint of your finger on the ridge lock and lower your finger onto the sensor surface
(make sure all other fingers are held straight to avoid creating an angle between the enrolled finger and
the sensor surface - incorrect positioning).
• When using an Authentec sensor sensitive to static electricity, touch the sensor's plastic casing (black)
to discharge static electricity. Keep your finger steady.
• Press your finger gently onto the panel, avoid excessive pressure as it will blur the print.
• When using an Authentec sensor, make sure your finger is touching the sensor’s drive ring.
• It is recommended that quality be 50% and content 90% at least.
• Make sure you use the enrolled finger for verification!
• If your finger is extremely dry, touch your forehead or the side of your nose before placing it on the
sensor.
• Do not use a wet/moist finger for scanning.
Note: For user’s convenience mount the terminal at a height of 1.4 meters (55.2”) (measured from the top
end of the terminal to the floor) and at a distance of 15 cm (5.9”) from the right-side wall (closer to
the sensor side).
Note: If it is impossible to sample an employee’s fingerprint, you can disable finger verification and revert
to card or code mode instead.

Common mistakes
Correct finger placement is a significant component for reliable fingerprint imaging. The following figures
illustrate some common mistakes to avoid.
• Sliding the fingertip into place instead of lowering it onto the sensor will
cause distortion of the fingerprint and will degrade image quality. Keep the
• Rotating the finger into position will also cause distortion of the fingerprint,
• Placing your finger as if punching a button will not provide adequate
information and will degrade system performance. Proper sensor height and
• Positioning the finger to one side and leaving a portion of the sensor exposed
will degrade image quality. This figure demonstrates how poor finger
placement degrades the image of the fingerprint. Notice how the core is well
off- centre and the sensor is not fully covered.

Synel MLL Payway Ltd. 48

Biometric concepts SY780A_760 and Sub-models

• Placing the finger at an angle, as shown here, is another common mistake.

Not placing the finger in an upright position will result in an unreadable
image of the fingerprint.

• Not using the Ridge- Lock may cause placing the finger in an incorrect
position. This figure illustrates the user neglecting the Ridge- Lock and
resulting fingerprint image. Notice how the core is well below centre and the
sensor is not fully covered.

Synel MLL Payway Ltd. 49

Biometric concepts SY780A_760 and Sub-models

Reasons for Low Scores

Some reasons for poor sampling results are listed below:
Possible Reason Correction
Finger movement while sampling Instruct the user to remain still while Veriprint is sampling.
Finger not positioned properly With the fingertip raised, position the finger so that the Ridge-
Lock rests comfortably within the first indentation of the
finger. Next, lower the finger onto the sensor and apply very
moderate pressure.
User might be pressing too hard Too much pressure on the sensor will blur the fingerprint
ridges. Allow the user to apply gentle pressure while
sampling.
User might not be pressing hard enough You must apply gentle pressure when enrolling. The
fingerprint should lay flat upon the sensor surface.
Finger too moist or wet If the user washed their hands, but failed to completely dry the
finger that is sampled, excessive moisture may cause the
sample to be more difficult to obtain. Dry wet or moist fingers
before sampling.
Finger too dry Depending upon the geographical area, the season, and the
skin type of the user, their fingerprint might be excessively
rough or dry. Excessively dry skin may affect the sample
quality. Try applying skin moisturizer a few minutes before
enrolling to improve image quality.

Setting the terminal for Using POE (Power over Ethernet) SY780A_760 and Sub-models

Appendix POE - Setting the terminal for Using POE (Power

over Ethernet)

PEO (Power over Ethernet) is a standard IEEE 802.3af. The standard provides the capability to deliver
both power and data over standard Ethernet cabling. The standard provides 48 volts DC over two pairs of a
four-pair cable at a maximum current of 350 mA for a maximum load power of 15.4 watts, although, after
counting losses, only about 13 watts are available. 802.3af -(PSEs) –”Power Source Equipments” can
deliver their power on two ways, the first is over the spare lines and the second is over the data lines. The
power will be connected to the (PDs) – “Powered Devices” just after an authentication process against the
PSEs passed and the maximum power consumption of the PDs that can be connected to these PSEs must
be less than ~12.9 - ~13Watt.

For more details you refer to the following site:

http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.3af-2003.pdf

E. Using POE
When using POE on the terminal you will need to make the following changes:
CPU Board REV-D:
JP104 should be shorted / P101 should have 7 PINs.
Network cars type B:
V2 should be compatible with POE.
C6/R7/8/9/10 should be removed
P2 Should be 7 PIN
JP13 should be on (1-2)
Net Card Type F:
R1/R2 should be removed / P11 should be mounted /
P2 should have 7 PINs / JP13 should be on (1-2).
For more details please refer to the BOM & scheme file of these two boards.

When using POE use the additional POE-DC2DC board using the Ag90120-S DC2DC module. The
maximum output power is 9Watt, this means that the over-all power consumption of the POE-terminal
with this module is less than 9Watt. Other modules can be used if you need more power.

Appendix E - Programming via SYncomm

Introduction
The SY-780A terminals can be programmed by a SAL program to meet any requirements in the field of
access control. However programming via Syncomm is much easier, but has some limitations. The
SYComm program is written to accept parameters that are grouped into designated tables.
SAL programming provides high flexibility: the terminal database structure can be modified and
programming is performed according to tailor-made specifications. This elite assembler program know-
how requires invested training hours as it is an intricate program to master. This document will not specify
SAL programming method for detailed information, refer to SAL programming user manual.
Syncomm programming is a user-friendly tool for building routine access control applications. Synel
provides a set of parameters that are logically arranged, stored and were built-in to the program to facilitate
Syncomm programming. The global parameters service the entire program and the rest of the parameters
are designated to build a corresponding application. These parameters are called by using a special SAL
program defined by Synel and are incorporated in Syncomm. The parameters are basically divided into
three levels:
• System tables: Firmware oriented parameters.
• Programming tables: Enable planning the activities performed by the terminal as per user functioning
requirements.
• Data tables: Contain the authorization for employees, time zones etc.
Table quantity limitation is 31 as each table is a file within the terminal.
