Preface
Thank you for choosing the VP-II X, Hand Vascular Pattern Recognition System.
This manual is to familiarize you with the features and functions of the VP-II X. It is recommended that
you read through this manual before using the product for maximum performance.
VP-II X is a biometric scanner which verifies Users utilizing individually unique vascular patterns
extracted from the hypoderm below the surface of the skin of the back of the hand using an infra-red
based sensor device. The vascular pattern cannot be seen by the naked eye and is not easily affected
by scars or contamination of hands. This results in no performance degradation in harsh environments,
makes it 100% tamper-proof and eliminates privacy concerns with other biometric modalities. By utilizing
HVPR technology, 99.98% of the entire population is able to use the system accurately and with the
verification speed of 0.4 seconds, eliminating User bottlenecks and the requirement of a separate
backdoor.
The VP-II X communicates with a server and/or other VP-II X devices through a TCP/IP network. An IP
address can be obtained automatically by DHCP when connected to a local area network. Basic
interface to a physical access control system (PACS) is Wiegand, and RS485 and/or RS232 can be also
supported as an option.
VP-II X runs either as a stand-alone system or on a TCP/IP based network, and provides various
interfaces to external systems through TCP/IP, Wiegand, RS232 and RS485. The application software
running on a server is also provided.

USB Port
A USB port is available to be used for firmware upgrade or database backup.
Keypad
VP-II X keypad consists of 10 digit keys (0~9), an enter key (ENT), an escape key (ESC) and four
function keys (F1 ~ F4). Function keys are used for special purpose functions such as password
input, punch in/out or job code transfer for time and attendance, or Manager menu access. Function
keys are also used as arrow keys when accessing the Manager menu.
Hand Input Indicator
This is an LED indicating a User to place a hand.
Trigger Switch
VP-II X starts capturing the vascular data when this switch is triggered by a User. The trigger switch
is operational only when the hand input indicator LED is on.
Speaker
VP-II X has an internal speaker being used for beep and voice messages.
Handle
The handle guides a User’s hand into a proper scanning position. It is required for a User to insert a
middle finger between the two guide bars until contact is made with the webbing in between your
fingers.
2. Network Configuration
VP-II X can be configured as a stand-alone unit or a networked system through a TCP/IP network. It is
required to set proper network parameters to run the VP-II X in a network environment. Refer to “Chapter
3 1 Network Setup” for details on network setup.
2.1 Master/Slave Operation
When multiple VP-II X units are networked, one unit has to be configured to a master unit while other
units are configured to slaves. A server on which the VP-II X application software (NetControl-X) runs
can be also configured as a master, in this case all VP-II X units are set to slaves.
Master
A master unit manages the site’s entire network database. There must be only one master on each
network, which can be either a VP-II X or server. When there are more than 64 units of the VP-II X
running in the same network, a VP-II X cannot be a master and the server must be run as a master. A
VP-II X, when it is configured to a master, can only handle up to 63 slave units.
The VP-II X has to be configured to a master when it runs as a stand-alone. Factory default is set to
master.
Slave
The database of the slave units are synchronized with those of the master. Manager(s) can enrol/delete
Users on a slave, but the master unit must be available when enrolling or deleting a User as the slave
units are always referring to the database of the master. However, verification can be performed anytime
on any slave units without regard to the status of master unit.

2.2 Networking VP-II X
VP-II X units are networked through a TCP/IP network, and all databases of each unit are automatically
synchronized. Although up to 64 units can be networked without a server computer, it is recommended
that the application software (NetControl-X) running on a server be used in order to utilize the enhanced
features of the VP-II X system such as detailed User management, anti-pass back, events, etc. Below
figure shows a typical network configuration with multiple units of VP-II X and the NetControl-X.
