Introduction
The Osmond is a full-page, multi-purpose passport and ID reader that provides automatic, accurate
data extraction and verification with the ability to read multiple types of identity documents: passports,
e-passports, ID cards, visas and driver licenses. The printed data is extracted from the entire page
(MRZ, VIZ and 1D & 2D bar codes) while digital data is obtained from contactless (RFID) and contact
smart chip (optional). A special feature of the Osmond device is that it has a built-in PC which runs a
fully functional web server that is accessible virtually with any device once the reader is connected to
a network. The recognized documents are processed by the device, no separate PC is needed to
process the collected data. The available multiple illumination sources are visible white, IR, UV, OVD
and edge light.

After logging in, each user is granted a 10-minute-long session that is signaled by a counter at the
bottom right corner of the browser window. This counter is constantly reset upon changing menu,
saving a form and after each scanning process. The length of session can be adjusted at
ADMINISTRATION / USERS / GENERAL SETTINGS / Session timeout.
The system sends notifications about events which may concern the user. Such event can be for
example the success or failure of saving a data sheet as well as if the document is to be changed in
the document reader after scanning a page. Information about the number of the notifications is
displayed on the left side of the status bar located at the bottom of the screen (if there is at least one
notification).
The following notification types can be distinguished:
−Error
−Warning
−Notification about a successful execution of operation
−Information
After signing in, the user account and the user profile can be edited in the
ADMINISTRATION / USERS menu.
The minimum length of the username is 5 characters and it can contain the following
characters:
•a-z
•A-Z
•0-9
•_
•.
•@
•-
The minimum length of the password is 8 characters.
Closing the browser does not terminate the session. Make sure to log out
(Main menu / QUIT) in order to allow other users from the same role to log in.

Providing Public key is required only for establishing SSH connection to the device upon remote
troubleshooting sessions. The Owner users can upload public key to the device: in the possession of
the private key belonging to this public key, the device is accessible through SSH with a user named
"baas" with limited rights. In order to use this function, the public key is to be copied to the Public key
text field at the EDIT USER option. After a successful upload, SSH key based connection can be
established (in the possession of the private key of the uploaded public key) with the "baas" user. The
"baas" user has limited rights, the allowed operations for "baas" user can be listed with the "help"
command. Furthermore, a diagnostic file named "systeminfo" (system-information_{timestamp}-
UTC.zip) can be found in the default library of the "baas" user which can be created with the
Make logpack button located in the MAINTENANCE / SYSTEM INFORMATION menu. This file
contains useful information for the support team to fix the possibly experienced errors. It is important
to mention that there is always only "systeminfo" file: by clicking on the [Make logpack] button the
previous "systeminfo" file is automatically overwritten.
In the menu only those menu items are displayed to which the user has rights.

You can configure the time zone by selecting one of the available options from the dropdown menu
under Time zone.
The Device local time and the Client local time are displayed, which thereby can be checked. The
Device local time indicates the accurate time of the Osmond N Device used by the client while the
Client local time indicates the accurate time of the computer, tablet or phone used by the client.
In order to ensure constant accurate time on your device, the Osmond supports time synchronization
with NTP servers. Enter a valid IP address or a fully qualified domain name of an NTP server to activate
NTP sync.
Setting the correct time is necessary for the appropriate operation of the device.

Using the Session timeout option, owners may specify the length of user sessions.
Session timeout value is applied for each user.
The Osmond device has a built-in protection to prevent access to its web interface when time
difference between the scanner and the client device is greater than 30 seconds.
The Osmond device is configured to synchronize time via remote time server. When using the device
offline, automatic time setting is not performed.
Time-delay information is also visible in the App:
The value of 127 is the time difference to the NTP server in milliseconds. Such low delay is normal;
it depends on network speed.
If access to the device fails on the first login attempt, wait 30 seconds then re-try login after
pressing Ctrl + F5 in your browser.
