5.4 Initializing a new smart card (Device PIN needed)
Initialising a new smart card is necessary, if the cryptographic keys have been changed
and the DIGITTRADE HS256 S3 has to operate with it (for example for security reasons
if one or more smart cards are lost).
Whilst initialising a new smart card, the cryptographic keys are changed in the
crypto-system. Therefore the HS256 S3 has to be reinitialized and reformatted by the
user’s OS afterwards. Now the access to the previous stored data is impossible with the
new cryptographic keys.
Follow these steps to initialize a new smart card:
1) Insert a working smart card into associated slot (see chapter 1.4 and 3.1).
Make sure that the red “ERROR”-LED and the green and the keypad illuminate.
2) Press the “ADMIN“ button and afterwards “0“.
3) Press “ENTER“ to confirm. The “STATUS“-LED flashes green several times.
4) Type in your 8-digit device PIN and press “ENTER“.
Note: If the PIN entry was not successful, the red “ERROR“-LED flashes. Press the “ESC”
button and start again with the third step of initialising a smart card.
6) If the PIN was entered correctly, the “STATUS“-LED flashes green and it sounds
an acoustic signal. The inserted smart card is initialized with this DIGITTRADE
HS256 S3 now.
7) Disconnect the USB connection to the DIGITTRADE HS256 S3 to
exist this feature.
8) Initialize and format your DIGITTRADE HS256 S3 with your OS.
Follow the instructions in the following chapters.
Note: Keep your device PIN in mind. Without it the initialising of new smart cards is im-
possible as well as the regular use of your HS256 S3.
