What is the difference between an HID bioCLASS Reader and a Reader / Enroller?

A standard bioCLASS reader only verifies fingerprints against a template already on the card. The RKLB57 Reader / Enroller can also write new fingerprint templates directly onto iCLASS smart cards in the field, so a separate desktop enrolment station isn't required.

Why is the fingerprint stored on the card and not in a database?

Storing the biometric template only on the user's iCLASS card avoids a central biometric database. This addresses privacy regulations, simplifies system management, and means the biometric template never has to travel over the network.

How many languages does the RKLB57 enroller support?

The bioCLASS enroller LCD can be configured into one of ten languages, making the same unit usable across global deployments.

What authentication modes does the RKLB57 support?

Three security levels are supported: card + fingerprint, card + PIN, and card + fingerprint + PIN, allowing security policy to be matched to door risk.

Can the field enroller be locked to verify-only mode?

Yes. The field enroller (6180BxR) can be field-configured as a dual-purpose reader / enroller, an enroller-only device, or a reader-only device, depending on installation needs.

HID RKLB57 bioCLASS Reader/Enroller provides users with new options for supporting multi-factor authentication of identity. Combining contactless card presentation with a fingerprint biometric, the bioCLASS reader can also be used with personal identification numbers (PIN). Featuring multi-factor authentication, HID RKLB57 bioCLASS Reader/Enroller readers offer the highest level of security. Storing the fingerprint template only on the smart card, users benefit from the increased security, faster throughput, easier system management, lower costs for the biometric reader and reduced concerns over individual privacy. Choose from three levels of security, including card/biometric fingerprint, card/PIN and card/fingerprint/PIN.

The HID RKLB57 bioCLASS Reader/Enroller is a read-only, contactless smart card reader with a keypad and biometric sensor that provides access control verification and fingerprint enrollment all in one reader.

Field Enroller (6180BxR) can be configured as a dual-purpose reader/enroller, single purpose enroller-only or reader-only
Additional field configuration allows for selection of language (choose from 9 languages), administration rights (store rights on card or in reader) and template storage location (small templates fit anywhere on HID iCLASS cards)
Field Enroller comes with multilingual quick start guide and English instructional CD
Site unique keys protect card access control data (Elite) or biometric templates (Bio-Elite).
