Access protection with SICRYPT PC Lock or SystemLock

With SICRYPT PC Lock or SystemLock you can protect your system from unauthorised booting.
Then a system can only be booted when the user inserts a valid SmartCard in the SmartCard reader
and enters his/her personal code number (PIN). To use PC Lock/SystemLock you require the
following components:
External or internal SmartCard reader
PC Lock or SystemLock installed (see manual "BIOS Setup")
SmartCard
There are different SmartCards which differ in their memory capacity. In addition to the
i
access permissions, you can also save other safety options on the SmartCard with higher
memory capacity (e.g. fingerprints with the Smarty 2 software).
PC Lock/SystemLock controls access to your PC. When a SmartCard is initialised, permissions are
assigned for system access (system, setup, system+setup, admin). You can configure several
SmartCards for one system and initialise them with different permissions.
In this way users can be divided into user groups. Users of a user group use SmartCards with the
same permissions.
Additional instructions for PC Lock/SystemLock
Do not use PC Lock on systems controlled by remote maintenance. If a SmartCard is
i
inserted and the User PIN must be entered, an automatic system boot is blocked.
For example, this is the case with "Wake On LAN", or when software is to be
installed via the network that requires a system reboot.
After you have initialised the first SmartCard, the entry PC-Lock or SystemLock can no
longer be deactivated (Disabled) in the BIOS Setup.
If you also want to use other security software in addition to PC Lock/SystemLock
(e.g. SmartGuard Pro), please read the documentation on your security software
beforehand.
