Digittrade HS256S User Manual page 64

With the help of DIGITTRADE HS256S a cryptographic key can be created on an
authorised smart card. The integrated certified random number generator creates
random and safe cryptographic numbers.
Follow these steps to create a cryptographic key:
1) Insert the smart card in the smart card slot (page 55).
2) If the smart card haven't a cryptographic key, the "ERROR"-LED as well as
"STATUS"-LED illuminate red.
If the smart card already has a cryptographic key that is not initialised for the
HS256S then only the "ERROR"-LED will illuminate.
If the smart card is already initialised the "STATUS"-LED will flash once.
3) Press the "ADMIN"-button and afterwards "2".
4) Press the "ENTER"-button. The "STATUS"-LED flashes three times.
5) Type in your 8-digit smart card PIN and press "ENTER" to confirm the entry.
6) The "STATUS"-LED flashes whilst the DIGITTRADE HS256S is creating and
writing the cryptographic key to the smart card. If the process was successful
the "STATUS"-LED illuminates green and you will hear two beeps.
7) Disconnect the USB connection to the DIGITTRADE HS256S and reconnect to
exit this feature.
The cryptographic key has consequently been created or changed. The prior cryp-
tographic key has also now been irreversibly deleted. With this smart card you
have no longer access to the prior stored data. That's why if necessary please cre-
ate a data backup before.
If you want to use this cryptographic key with the HS256S it has to be initialised
for the HS256S. Please follow the steps in chapter 5.4.
Note: Please do not remove the smart card during the creation of the cryptographic
key (step 6 "STATUS"-LED flashes several times), otherwise the smart card could
be damaged.
