IGuard LAN / WAN Configuration Diagrams

LAN Network

A typical network diagram showing multiple iGuard Systems connected through a corporate network. Each iGuard is assigned its own specific IP address. These systems can be set up in a master / slave configuration so that biometric template data is replicated automatically throughout the network on each iGuard. Optionally, the template matching can be performed on a secure server at a single point on the network. For this type of environment, the Client/Server iGuard is necessary.

WAN Network

This diagram shows multiple iGuard units connected through the Internet or over a WAN. This environment requires the master/slave configuration for template matching because of the latency on the network when retrieving templates and matching them to a central database over the WAN.
