5. Device PIN Features

With the device PIN you can perform the following things:
- Change the device PIN
- Activate/deactivate the lock-out mode
- Copy cryptographic keys
- Initialise a new smart card for the DIGITTRADE HS256S
The preset factory device PIN is: "8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1". For security reasons it is
obligatory to change this PIN to avoid data loss or unauthorized interactions.

5.1 Changing the device PIN

Follow these steps to change the device PIN:
1) Insert the smart card into the DIGITTRADE HS256S.
2) Press the "CHANGE-PIN" button on the keypad and afterwards "0".
3) Confirm your entry with "ENTER".
4) Type in the current 8-digit device PIN and press "ENTER" to confirm the entry.
The "STATUS"-LED will flash twice.
5) Enter the new 8-digit device PIN and confirm with "ENTER".
6) For confirmation enter the new 8-digit device PIN again and press "ENTER".
7) After the device PIN has been successfully changed the "STATUS"-LED flashes
three times and you will hear two beeps.
8) The smart card can be removed now.
If the PIN change was not successful, the "ERROR"-LED will flash. Press the "ESC"
button and start again with the first step of the PIN change.
Note: The DIGITTRADE HS256S only accepts 8-digit PIN. The PIN should be chosen
at random. Do not use a trivial PIN like ascending or descing series of numbers or
user-specific PIN like your phone number or date of birth.
