Solution architecture

The architecture of the solution can be found below. It is compatible with both cloud and on-premises deployments. The solution was developed in a flexible way, so that it can integrate with Control iD's whole line of access controllers(biometric terminals, turnstiles, RFID readers etc.)

Control iD developed 4 software components:

• ControlidManager: This service (EXE) is responsible for integrating with the Genetec Server through the SDK, with Softwire in order to inform card swipes/device status and with Control iD's devices in order to receive and send data.
• ControlidConfigurator: This application (EXE) is responsible for configuring the integration. It allows the user to create devices and fill device information in.
• ControlidGenetec: This module (DLL) creates a button in the Cardholder user interface that allows the user to enroll biometric information.
• ControlidEnrollManager: This application (EXE) is called by ControlidGenetec and presents the GUI for biometric information enrollment.
