management perspective, while Touch Screen interface provides a subset of them for
single-machine standalone use.

1Basic Features
This chapter describes the basic menus of The Device, which contains the following
three functional groups: Status, Log, and User Management.
1.1 Status
Model Name
The model name of The Device.
Serial Number
The serial number of The Device, which is unique on each device.
Firmware Version
This shows basic firmware version. More information can be found at
Advanced->Firmware page. See Chapter 3.11 for details.
MCU Version
This displays the MCU version, which is mostly related to access controller
functionalities.
Users (No. of Registered User)
Depending on the model type, The Device may have different capacity numbers
for 1:N and 1:1 mode.
Take R21CF-31 as an example, it can accommodate 3000 users for 1:1 verification
use, and up to 600 out of 3000 users are supported in 1:N mode. So if there are
900 users registered (enrolled or uploaded) and 550 of them are assigned to
support 1:N mode, the system will show
Touch Screen interface: Users: 900 (550 in 1:N)
Web interface: No. of Registered User: 900/3000 (1 to 1 Verification)
550/600 (1 to N Identification)
For more about 1:N and 1:1 modes, please refer to Chapter 3.1.
