2.8 Security
This chapter describes about detailed specifications of the security.
2.8.1 Setting Password for Terminal
This is the password setting implemented in the Windows Embedded CE OS. Your password can
be set at the Control Panel. Click the Password icon to initiate the Password Properties
screen, and then enter your password in each field.
2.8.2 Setting Password for Date and Time
This is to enable setting a password for accessing the date and time setting in order to prevent the
user from changing the settings of the terminal. Use PASSTOOL located under Windows folder
to make the setting. Password registered will be saved in the FlashDisk along with individual ID
setting, etc.
2.8.3 Setting Individual ID
Individual ID is written into a predetermined area in the FlashDisk at time of shipping from the
factory. Distributor code (a code used to protect distributor developed software from illegal
copying by unauthorized party) is saved in other area different from the individual ID. The
individual ID incorporates the product code and serial number etc. and always becomes a unique
code different from other units. The System Library can be used to read the individual ID set on
each unit of the terminal.
The function of the System Library relevant to the “Setting Individual ID” is as follows.
SysGetDeviceIDCode
: Retrieves Device ID.
2.8.4 Setting Distributor ID
The individual ID and distributor ID can be used by the distributor and user to prevent illegal use
of application by unauthorized party at a time of installing or carrying out the illegally copied
application by checking these preset codes. The distributor code is saved in the FlashDisk area,
and read using the System Library.
Set up your individual ID with the ID setting tool that can be downloaded from the CASIO web
site.
The function of the System Library relevant to the “Setting Distributor ID“ is as follows.
SysGetUserIDCode
