1. Introduction
BioCred is an assisted customer operated product.
The device will be installed customer facing but overseen by an operator that will control the device via a Business Application (es example in
banking environment the Operator will be the operator and the Business Application will be the Operator Application).
Most functions can be activated by both the customer and the operator, while few only by the operator for security reason.
When a functionality is started by the Business Application (in this guide Web Application), BioCred follows the process as “slave” device; while if
the functionality is started directly from BioCred, the Web Application will not be involved in the process.
In field Web Application will be replaced by the Business Application, operating with the control logic.
The following guide describes:
•the instruction for a user simulating the Operator’s role –and therefore using the Web Application UI to drive the device
•the instruction for a final user –and therefore using BioCred Display UI to drive the device
2. Safety Precautions

7. Setup procedure
The device can be connected via LAN, USB/RNDIS, WI-FI.
The product is provided with an Ethernet cable.
Compatible WI-FI dongle is a product option. WI-FI connectivity requires an appropriate working mode setting in the device configuration.
For more information, contact your technical reference for the "BioCred Network Configuration Guide".
By default, BioCred is configured as following:
•ETH: DHCP mode
•RNDIS: Fixed IP (192.168.101.1)
For instructions about the BioCred first installation, please refer to the “BioCred 1.0 First Installation Guide”.
Important: the Enrollment phase, explained later, requires BioCred to have a direct access to an external Panini server, for the creation of the user's
encrypted biometric credentials. This function is therefore not accessible with a USB/RNDIS connection or with a peer-to-peer Ethernet connection.
