Using the SmartCard reader

A SmartCard reader is integrated in your notebook. With the appropriate software you can use your
SmartCard as an alternative to password protection, but also as a digital signature, for encrypting
your e-mails or for homebanking.

SmartCards

SmartCards are not supplied as standard equipment. You can use all SmartCards that comply with
the ISO standard 7816-1, -2, -3 and -4. These SmartCards are available from various manufacturers.
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
i
SmartCard is lost. In order to maximise your security, the SmartCard, which is available as
an accessory, is disabled if three incorrect attempts are made to enter the PIN.
The first time you use your SmartCard you must enter the preset PIN provided by the
SmartCard manufacturer or your system administrator.
Please refer to the software documentation for information about which SmartCards are
supported by the software.
