5.4 Initialising a new smart card
Initialising a new smart card is needed when the DIGITTRADE HS256S is supposed
to operate with a new cryptographic key (for example for security reasons if one or
more smart cards are lost).
Whilst initialising a new smart card, the cryptographic key is changed in the
crypto-system. As the HS256S uses a full disk encryption the file system is also
encrypted. That’s why the HS256S has to be reinitialised and reformatted by the
user OS. Access to the previous stored data is now impossible with the new cryp-
tographic key.
Follow these steps to initialise a new smart card:
1) Insert a new authorised smart card into the DIGITTRADE HS256S, paying
attention that the “STATUS“-LED flashes once.
2) The “ERROR“-LED illuminates once to show that you have entered an
uninitialised smart card.
3) Press the “ADMIN“ button and afterwards “0“.
4) Confirm with “ENTER“. The “STATUS“-LED flashes three times.
5) Type in your 8-digit device PIN and press “ENTER“.
If the PIN was entered correctly the “STATUS“-LED flashes three times and
you will hear two beeps.
6) The inserted smart card is now initialised with the DIGITTRADE HS256S.
7) Disconnect the USB connection to the DIGITTRADE HS256S and reconnect to
exist this feature.
8) Initialise and format your DIGITTRADE HS256S with your OS. Follow the
instructions in the following chapters.
Note: Remember your device PIN. Initialising new smart cards is impossible
making accessing your HS256S impossible.
