M100 Range

The MorphoAccess™ 100 series features a new range of indoor/outdoor biometric and contactless smart card terminals available at low cost. The MA100 is compact easy to install and compatible with legacy or new access control systems.

The MA100 model operates exclusively in identification mode. It offers storage capacity of two biometric templates per person for up to 500 individuals. The database can either be downloaded via the network or via a USB interlace. The MA120 model can operate in either identification or authentication mode by reading contactless smart cards. TheMA120 supports MIFARE 1K and 4K and DESFIRE contactless smart cards. The biometric data can be either stored on the card or on the terminal. In the latter case, the card ID is used to screen the database on the terminal and retrieve the corresponding biometric templates.

More Details
The whole MA100 range offers standard interface, such as Wiegand, RS.485, Data & Clock or Ethernet, to return the ID to the host system. It is also possible to activate a relay when the terminal is used in stand-alone mode (i.e. to unlock a door). The terminal can operate either in stand-alone or networked mode. When the terminal is networked, it can either operate in 'proxy' or 'application' mode.

In proxy mode, the terminal is dependent on a host controller that sends commands according to the Morpho Host System Interlace protocol. This mode is very useful for developing specific applications.

In application mode, the terminal manages workflow. In both modes remote terminal management is possible through TCP/IP Terminal management includes initial configuration, firmware upgrade, log retrieval, biometric database operations, etc TheMEMS(MorphoAccess Enrolment & Management System) application is used to register individuals and manage a group of terminals connected to a network (I.e. downloading databases and configuring a terminal remotely). This application allows the user to add a biometric function to an existing access control system without changing it. It can also be used independently of these systems so as to provide a simple access control system. MEMS-supports the MA100 series, as well as the MA200 and MA300 series.

We also offer integrators who develop their own application the Morpho Integrator's Kit (MIK). The MIK offers a set of software components to easily integrate our terminals in a system.
