Reject Threshold
Use the Reject Threshold command to set the Hand Reader’s reject sensitivity level
applied when reading hand data and to set the number of tries a user is allowed before
being rejected by a Hand Reader.
The reject sensitivity level and number of tries are global values. This means that these
values are applied to all users on all Hand Readers on the network – except for those
users who have been assigned an individual user reject level (refer to the Set User
Reject Level command on page 46).
The default reject threshold is 100. This is the best threshold value for most
applications.
• Raising the threshold level makes the Hand Reader less sensitive to variations in
user hand placement on the platen.
• Lowering the threshold level might result in a greater number of rejected attempts,
but also results in a more secure system.
The default number of tries is 3. If a user exceeds the number of tries without a valid
hand read, the Hand Reader will refuse all subsequent attempts with that user ID
number. This means the user will be locked out until another user is verified
successfully.
The following instructions demonstrate how to set the Reject Threshold to 105 and the
number of tries to 4.
