Answer 3:

Question 4:

What are the configuration requirements of the new reader?

Answer 4:

The biometrics are stored on the PIV Card, none stored on the reader. We have one reader with two factor authentication that requires a PIV card scan plus a PIN number.

See As-Builts drawings attached - please note drawings are for informational purposes only.

Question 7:

Answer 10:

Question 12:

Do the existing readers have a biometric component too? Was it using a Software House High Assurance solution or some other piece of software to compare the fingerprints?

Answer 12:

There is no Biometric component to the existing reader nor required for the new readers.

Question 13:
