Security Level
Three levels of security can be set to define the security level with which the identification is to
be performed:
High, Medium, Low.
These settings have various different consequences for authorized users, with regard to ease
of operation, and for the security of the system.
"High" increases system security since more fingerprint characteristics are checked.
However, this may also cause an increased number of rejections of authorized users.
"Medium" is the factory default.
If "Low" is set, fewer fingerprint characteristics are checked. This can cause unauthorized
access or user mix-ups to occur more frequently than with security level "High".
Fingerprint or Fingerprint and User ID
With the "Fingerprint" setting, users can log on to the PC and terminate the screen saver only
with a fingerprint identification and not via a user ID and password.
The default factory setting for the Siemens ID Mouse is "Fingerprint and User ID".
Shut down PC automatically on invalid identification
Selecting this entry causes the PC to be automatically shut down if a "handling" error occurs
(e.g. due to missing files) when logging on to the PC or terminating the screen saver. If only
the fingerprint identification fails, this mechanism has no effect.
"Apply" Button
This button is enabled only if a change has been made in one of the fields. When the button is
pressed, the entered data is verified and saved in the User Manager.
"Exit" Button
Pressing this button exits the application.
