HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AUTHENTEC FINGERPRINT SOFTWARE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Minimum requirements for touch sensors: - Pentium III 500MHz - 128MB RAM - 30MB free HD space Minimum requirements for Slide sensors: - Pentium III 750MHz - 128MB RAM - 30MB free HD space Recommended PC configuraton: - Pentium 4 1GHz - 256MB RAM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) To install the SDK double-click on the AT_SDK_7.10.exe and select a temporary directory to extract the setup files to. 2) Run Setup and follow the installation prompts. *DO NOT plug in your reader yet* 3) After running setup, go to Start > All Programs > Authentec > AT SDK 7.10 > Installations and select "Launch ATMinInstall.exe" if you are running a 32-bit OS, or select "Launch ATMinInstall64.exe" if you are running a 64-bit OS. 4) Once the drivers are installed, you may plug in your reader and use the sample applications and utilities. 5) .NET applications require the .NET framework to be installed. If you do not have the framework installed, select from the location specified above "Launch dotnetfx_2.0.exe" if you are running a 32-bit OS, or "Launch NetFx64_2.0.exe" if you are running a 64-it OS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. SOFTWARE VERSIONS INSTALLED ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - AT Software: 7.10.0.24 - DLL (ATSC70.dll): 7.10.0.24 - Swipe Sensor Driver (ATSwpDrv.sys): 7.10.0.2 To verify that the proper driver has been installed, use the Windows Control Panel Device Manager. The sensor will be found under Personal Identification Devices. Right-click on the sensor name and select Properties, and then the Driver tab. Click the Driver Details button to view the File version. If the sensor name in the Personal Identification devices section of the Device Manager is "banged" (shown with a yellow exclamation point), the driver version may be incorrect or the sensor may not be working properly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. KNOWN ISSUES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Conflicts with previously installed biometric software This version of the Technical Evaluation Kit is intended to be used on a system that has not had biometric devices and software installed on it previously. While we have tested this installation on many different configurations, we note that it may be possible for there to be software conflicts with earlier versions of device drivers,biometric applications and navigation software. If conflicts occur, remove all previous versions of such software. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.
