Entering The Smart Card Pin - Digittrade HS256S User Manual

3.2 Entering the smart card PIN

After you have activated the DIGITTRADE HS256S successfully and inserted a valid
smart card the keypad will be lighted and the HDD is ready for PIN entry.
Now you can enter the 8-digit
PIN.
The preset factory PIN is:
"1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8"
after you entered the PIN, press
the "ENTER" button.
Note: To guarantee the safety of your data it is very important to change the factory
set PIN (page 57). Change the smart card pin periodically. It is recommended to use
different PINs for different smart cards.
After successful PIN entry, the cryptographic key is transferred to the encryption
module. The DIGITTRADE HS256S will be identified by the system as a removable
medium and the lighting of the keypad disappears.
You can now access the storage device. The smart card must remain in the DIGIT-
TRADE HS256S whilst in operation. If the smart card will be removed from the slot,
the storage device will be locked (lock-out mode).
As needed this function can be deactivated, so that the smart card can be removed
after the unlock and you have still access to the HS256S. Please find more informa-
tion in chapter 5.2.
If a wrong PIN was entered, the "ERROR"-LED flashes. Press the "ESC" button to
restart the PIN entry.
Note: After the PIN was entered eight times incorrectly, the smart card will be ir-
revocably locked and cannot be used anymore. The cryptographic key on the smart
card is irreversibly deleted in the process.
