3.3 Changing the smart card PIN
Follow these steps to change your smart card PIN:
1) Insert a working smart card into the associated slot (see chapter 1.4 and 3.1).
The keypad illuminates.
Note: If the keypad and the red “ERROR”-LED illuminate permanently, please initialize
the smart card as described in chapter 5.4.
2) Press the “CHANGE PIN” button and afterwards the “1” button.
3) Press “ENTER” to confirm. The “STATUS”-LED flashes green several times.
4) Type in the current 8-digit PIN and press “ENTER” to confirm the entry.
5) Type in the new 8-digit smart card PIN and press “ENTER” for confirmation.
6) To confirm, type in the new 8-digit smart card PIN again and press “ENTER”.
After a successful PIN change, the “STATUS”-LED flashes green several times and it
sounds an acoustic signal at the end. The DIGITTRADE HS256 S3 will be identified from
the system as a removable device, the “STATUS”-LED illuminates red (in active lock-out
mode) and the lighting of the keypad disappears.
The access to the hard drive is enabled.
If the PIN change was not successful, the red “ERROR” LED flashes and it sounds an
acoustic signal. Press the “ESC” button and start again with the first step of the PIN
change.
You have 8 attempts for changing the smart card PIN. After this the inserted smart card
is locked and no longer usable.
Note: 1. The DIGITTRADE HS256 S3 only accepts 8-digit PINs. 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.
2. Please change the smart card PIN periodically during the use of the hard drive, plus
after receiving the smart card and the transfer to another user.
