MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family Series Terminal
Congratulations for choosing a MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family Series Automatic Fingerprint
Recognition Terminal.
MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family provides an innovative and effective solution for access control
applications using Fingerprint identification.
Amongst a range of alternative biometric technologies, the use of finger imaging has significant
advantages, i.e., each finger constitutes an unalterable physical signature, developed before
birth and preserved until death. Unlike DNA, a finger image is unique for each individual; even
identical twins.
The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family Series terminals integrate Morpho image processing and
feature matching algorithms. This technology is based on lessons learned during 25 years of
experience in the field of biometric identification and the creation of literally millions of
individual fingerprint identification records.
Designed for physical access control applications, MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family Series
terminals feature a compact, attractive design, coupled with high reliability and security. These
5th generation terminals are both robust and easy to use for a variety of applications, including
office, headquarters and administrative building security, as well as protection of external
access points.
To ensure the most effective use of terminal, an administrator should read this User Guide
thoroughly.

Scope of the document
This document is intended to guide administrators on ‘How to setup and use’ the
MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family Series terminal. It also talks about capabilities, and the possible
configurations that can be done along with detailed steps and snapshots. On top of this an
administrator can learn about access control processes, compatibility with access control
systems, Time & Attendance mode and how terminal is configurable through Webserver.
In order to setup and use the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal in the most efficient way,
it is recommended for the Administrator to thoroughly read this guide.

About Biometrics
About fingerprint biometrics
Fingerprints are permanent and unique. They are formed before birth and last throughout one's
life. Classification and systematic matching of fingerprints for different purposes have been in
use since the late 19th century.
The skin on the underside of fingers is different from the skin on other areas of a human body.
This skin has raised lines called; ‘ridges’.
These ridges do not run continuously from one side to the other, rather they may curve, end, or
divide into two or more ridges (bifurcation and endings). Barring accidental or intentional
mutilation, the ridge arrangement is permanent.
Fingerprints can be divided into three major ridge patterns such as Whorls, Loops and Arches.
Unique characteristics known as Minutiae identify those points of a fingerprint wherein the
ridges become either bifurcation or endings, as illustrated in Figure 1. These minutiae are the
unique features, which form the basis of any system using fingerprint comparison techniques
for identification and verification purposes.
Figure 1: Minutiae are classified in two categories i.e. ridge ending and bifurcation
Fingerprint is a mature biometrics, in use for various applications based on individual’s
authentication or identification, as it offers an excellent trade-off between criterias such as user
acceptance, easiness of use, performance, stability, cost effectiveness and interoperability.
Since the early eighties, Morpho has carried an extensive research in the field of studying
fingerprints and continually refined its expertise in the domain of fingerprint based recognition
systems. It has lead the market in studied fingerprint characteristics and continually refined its
expertise in fingerprint identification technology, developing first AFIS systems (Automated
Fingerprint Identification Systems) and then applying its unique know-how and worldwide
leading position to markets such as physical access control (premises), logical access control
(computers and networks), secure payment transactions and OEM applications.

Notation
Product support notation:
In this document, the term “MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal” is considered either
“MorphoAccess® SIGMA” or “MorphoAccess® SIGMA Lite” or “MorphoAccess® SIGMA
Extreme” Series terminal, unless it is explicitly mentioned. The term “MorphoAccess® SIGMA
Lite” is also considered “MorphoAccess® SIGMA Lite+” Series terminal, unless it is explicitly
mentioned. The applicability of feature for SIGMA/SIGMA Extreme and SIGMA Lite product is
described using following table format :

As MorphoAccess® SIGMA Series and MorphoAccess® SIGMA Extreme Series have almost the
same functionalities, they are ususally in the same column except when it is necessary to detail.
MorphoAccess® SIGMA Series have a 5’’ touchscreen color LCD in landscape mode.
MorphoAccess® SIGMA Extreme Series have a 5’’ touchscreen color LCD in portrait mode.
For example, “Terminal Administration Menu”is available to SIGMA/SIGMA Extreme Series
product and not available to SIGMA Lite Series product. “Webserver Application”is available
to SIGMA and SIGMA Lite Series.
