5. Device PIN features
The device PIN does not allow the access to the stored data. With the help of this PIN
you can execute the following administrative features:
- change the device PIN
- activate/deactivate the lock-out mode
- copy cryptographic keys
- initialize a new smart card for the DIGITTRADE HS256 S3
The preset factory device PIN is: “8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1”. For security reasons, we recommend
that you should change it. The device PIN must be kept confidentially. Therefore avoid
the execution of the above functions on your hard drive by unauthorized persons.
The number of attempts to enter the device PIN is not limited.
Note: Bear your device PIN in mind. Without this PIN the initialization of new smart cards
and thus the use of more HS256 S3 is not possible.
