You can upgrade Morpho Biometrics plugin from version 3.0 directly to version 3.1.

Before you begin

  1. Read the release notes to learn about important information for this release.
  2. Confirm that your versions of Security Center, MorphoManager, and the plugin are compatible.

What you should know

  • You can upgrade directly from any earlier version to the latest version. Note that version 3.1 requires Security Center 5.8 or later.
  • The plugin must be upgraded on all Security Center client and server computers.
  • The Directory database contains all your entities.
  • The plugin database is used to interface Security Center with the MorphoManager software.
  • It is not required to uninstall the plugin before upgrading to the latest version.
  • IMPORTANT: After you upgrade the plugin, existing doors in Security Center that are physically connected to Morpho readers must be added to the Morpho Biometrics plugin area. This will associate the doors with access groups, that you must map to user distribution groups in the MorphoManager BioBridge settings. This step must be performed or users will lose access to the affected doors.

Procedure

  1. Open Server Admin, and back up the Directory database.
  2. Back up the plugin role database.
  3. Stop the Genetec™ Server.
  4. Install the latest version of the plugin.
  5. Restart the Genetec™ Server.
  6. Deactivate the plugin role, and then activate it.
  7. Complete the steps documented in Adding MorphoManager biometric devices as readers in Security Center.
  8. Complete the steps documented in Mapping user distribution groups to doors in MorphoManager.
    The plugin is ready for use.
