The BioManager Software is used to communicate to the BioSync fingerprint readers. Once you have connected to the BioSync devices you can configure them, add users, credentials and fingerprints and run basic diagnostic checks.

 

Installation Procedure

  1. Included on the Doors.NET DVD there is a file named BioSync_BioManager. You will find it within the 'Utilities' folder (found by viewing the contents of the DVD). If you do not have an installation DVD you can download the software from the software downloads page of the Keri corporate website:
