If the PIN change was not successful, the red “ERROR“-LED will flash. Press the “ESC“
button and start again with the first step of the PIN change.

5.2 Activating/deactivating of the lock-out mode
(Device PIN needed)
In the activated lock-out mode access to the data is instantly stopped if
the smart card is removed.
The HS256 S3 is preset with activated lock-out mode. The “STATUS“- LED illuminates
red during the access mode. For a safe use of the HS256 S3 the lock-out mode must be
activated. Using the HS256 S3 with deactivated lock-out mode is outside the scope of
the BSI certification.
The user can deactivate this feature in particular situations. This must be done when
only one smart card has access to many different storage devices that are supposed
to be unlocked at the same time with the same cryptographic keys. When the lock-out
mode is deactivated the “STATUS“-LED illuminates green during the access mode.
In that case please use the physical separation after the end of the use (chapter 15)
because the logical separation is not possible in the deactivated lock-out mode.
Follow these steps to activate/deactivate the lock-out mode:
1) Insert a working smart card into the associated slot (see chapter 1.4 and 3.1).
Make sure that the keypad illuminates.
Note: If the “STATUS”-LED flashes green shortly and the red “ERROR”-LED illuminates
permanently, please initialize the smart card as described in chapter 5.4.
2) Press the “ADMIN“-button and afterwards “1“.
3) Press the “ENTER“-button. The “STATUS“-LED flashes green several times.
