PICS POC User’s Manual 1.0 13 January 2003 SCOPE This document is intended to provide guidance to the end user of the Personal Identification Credential System (PICS) for normal operations. It is intended to cover only the Proof of Concept iteration of the PICS. It describes typical operation of the Personal Identification Credential (PIC), the PICS Enrollment Station, and the PICS Reader.

PICS POC User’s Manual 3.0 13 January 2003 DESCRIPTIONS The Personal Identification Credential System (PICS) is intended to provide access control using a Personal Identification Credential (PIC), which can be issued to individual users. The PIC will be a small, handheld, wireless biometric device small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. In the initial application, users will operate the PIC from within a vehicle in order to gain access to a facility.
PICS POC User’s Manual 13 January 2003 Correct Incorrect Figure 1 PIC Fingertip Placement Once the finger is placed on the sensor, the LED should light indicating the status of the verification. If the LED does not light, the most probable cause is dry skin. In this case, moisten the fingertip and start over. If the LED does illuminate, the color of the LED will represent the current state of the verification process, as shown in Table 1.
PICS POC User’s Manual Green 13 January 2003 Successful Match Green indicates that the fingerprint was matched successfully. A green LED should be accompanied by a single, short, low pitch beep. Initially, the LED should blink green. Once the PIC has received confirmation from the PICS Reader that the PIC has been validated, the LED will remain on continuously and another short, high pitched beep will be emitted.
PICS POC User’s Manual 13 January 2003 PIC which has already been used is re-enrolled with a new user, the original user will no longer be enrolled on the PIC. However, he may not automatically be removed from the database. To remove a user from the database, the operator will be required to manually remove the user from the database. Figure 2 PICS Manager Users Screen The ENROLL button is used to enroll the currently selected user.
PICS POC User’s Manual 13 January 2003 Figure 3 PICS Manager Enrollment Screen 3.2.1.2.1 Enroll This section provides the controls to actually perform the enrollment. The first field is a drop down list of the available User IDs to be enrolled. If the Include Previously Enrolled IDs checkbox is checked, the list will include all User IDs currently in the database. If it is unchecked, only the disenrolled users (users with a blank PIC ID in the database) will be in the list.
PICS POC User’s Manual 13 January 2003 3.2.1.2.3 Test This section contains four buttons which are used for testing only. The first button, Local Test, is useful for the enrollment operator to allow the PIC user to practice using the PIC. It allows the Enrollment Station to act like the Reader and provide validation of user access.
PICS POC User’s Manual 13 January 2003 to 10 seconds while it prepares for enrollment. Note that once the PIC has started this enrollment process, any previous enrollment information will have been removed and is no longer accessible. Once the PIC has finished preparing for enrollment, the PIC LED will turn off and a short beep will be emitted by the PIC, and the PIC status on the enrollment screen will indicate IDLE. 3.2.1.3.
PICS POC User’s Manual 13 January 2003 3.2.1.4.1 Monitor Screen The Monitor screen provides a means for the maintainer to view status messages from the Reader. In this screen, the maintainer can also enable the RF Test mode, which causes the Reader to begin sending RF test messages. Any activated PIC which receives an RF test message will immediately respond with an ID message. This allows the maintainer to verify the Reader RF radiation pattern, as well as troubleshoot general RF problems.
PICS POC User’s Manual 13 January 2003 Figure 5 PICS Manager Reader Database Screen 3.2.1.4.3 File Transfer Screen This screen provides the ability to send and receive files to/from the Reader. This screen should only be used by qualified personnel, as changing the wrong file could prevent the Reader from booting. The File Xfer screen is shown in Figure 6.
PICS POC User’s Manual 3.2.1.5 13 January 2003 Configuration Screen The Configuration screen allows the maintainer to change the configuration of the PICS Manager software. Once the system is set up, the configuration should require very little change. Figure 7 shows the Configuration screen. Figure 7 PICS Manager Configuration Screen 3.2.1.5.1 Communication Port This field sets the comm. port to be used for the Enrollment Station RF Interface Unit. Note that the baud rate, parity, etc.

PICS POC User’s Manual 4.0 4.1 13 January 2003 Installation Reader Refer to EG&G Drawings 126764-10, PICS Installation and 126762-10, Assy, PICS Reader Terminal Unit. CAUTION This unit is powered by 120 VAC. This voltage can be extremely dangerous and can cause death. Always use an insulated probe when attempting to measure 120 VAC and be extremely careful not to touch places where this voltage is present. The PICS Reader Terminal Unit is contained in a 16” x 16” x 8” NEMA 4X enclosure.
