Configuring and using SmartCard reader

Your notebook is equipped with a SmartCard slot and a special chip to read your SmartCards.

You have to install the chip driver before initial use. Insert the "Security Drivers & Tools" CD, on

which this driver is contained. Follow the instructions on the screen.

In addition, you also require the so-called "SmartCard Base Components" to use the SmartCard

reader. If you work with the operating systems Windows 2000 or Windows XP, these components

are already preinstalled. If you work with the operating systems Windows Me, Windows 98 or

Windows NT, you must install the "SmartCard Base Components" from the "Security

Drivers & Tools" CD.

SmartCards are not supplied as standard equipment. You can use all SmartCards that comply with

the ISO standard 7816-1, -2 or –3. These SmartCards are available from various manufacturers.

Under Windows 2000 or Windows XP we recommend the SICRYPT card, as the drivers for this

SmartCard are already preinstalled under Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

With the appropriate software you can use your SmartCard as an alternative to password protection,

but also as a digital signature or for encrypting your e-mails.

With the Smarty security software (part of the "Mobile Secure IT Suite") you can assign a password

to your SmartCard. This enables you to safely log on to the operating system under Windows 2000

and under Windows NT.

We recommend that you always use two SmartCards. Always keep one of the SmartCards in a safe

place if you carry the other SmartCard with you.

The SmartCard can only be used with a PIN so protection is maintained even when the

SmartCard is lost. After the incorrect PIN is entered three times, the card is blocked.

The first time you use your SmartCard you must enter the preset PIN provided by the

SmartCard manufacturer or your system administrator.
