1. About this Manual
This manual applies to BioMax2 and KBio2-Online access and presence control
electronics, firmware versions 0x61.43 and 0x62.43 respectively.
2. Description
BioMax2/KBio2 electronics are designed as Online access and/or presence control
terminals..
• BioMax2 is versatile enough to control up to two Clock&Data readers and two RS-
232 devices, whether RFID readers or FIM modules for biometric identification.
It is also equipped with a 2x20-character alphanumeric display and a 4x4
numerical keypad.
• KBio2-Online is a more compact piece of hardware, only supporting one
Clock&Data reader and two RS232 devices (RFID readers or FIM modules).
User interface is simpler, solely based on LEDs.
• Default connectivity is based on both TCP/IP and UDP. Alternatively,
communication may be carried out via RS232. KiWi2 electronics can also be
connected for WiFi communications.
• It is possible to add the BiomaxPlus-DB device, intended for Semi-Offline access
control. That is, the system switches to Offline mode whenever communication
with main Host is lost. That way, it is BioMax2 itself managing and logging
access activity, until communication with main Host is recovered.
BioMax2 and KBio2-Online electronics are recommended for all access control
applications on electric locks, displays, leds, buzzers and ticker printers, etc. requiring
online operation. In particular, whenever biometrical identification is required, the
search engine may be installed in the main Host
1
or in the FIM module.
BioMax2 and KBio2-Online electronics may be controlled with serial commands or with
the help of the Active-X, Kimaldi Bio-OCX controller or its equivalent .NET version,
the latter method being recommended.
Except for their hardware differences, BioMax2 and KBio2-Online are equivalent in
terms of functionality and programming interface. With regards to BioMaxPlus, it
behaves as BioMax2 in all aspects, although it offers additional features.
