Access authorisation via SmartCard
In systems equipped with a SmartCard reader, access can be restricted to those users who have a
corresponding SmartCard.
Access protection with SystemLock
With SystemLock you can protect your system from unauthorised booting. Then a system can only
be booted when the user inserts a valid SmartCard in the SmartCard reader and enters his/her
personal code number (PIN). To use SystemLock you require the following components:
● External or internal SmartCard reader
● SystemLock installed (see "BIOS Setup" manual)
● SmartCard
SystemLock controls access to your PC. When a SmartCard is initialised, permissions are assigned
for system access (system, setup, system+setup, admin). You can configure several SmartCards
for one system and initialise them with different permissions. In addition you can protect access to
your hard disk.
In this way users can be divided into user groups. Users of a user group use SmartCards with the
same permissions.

If you also want to use other security software in addition to SystemLock (e.g.
SMARTY), please read the documentation on your security software beforehand.
SystemLock permissions
You can initialise a SmartCard with one of the following permissions:

Setup You can open and change the BIOS Setup and change the user PIN.
System+Setup The system starts following entry of the user PIN. You can open and change the
BIOS Setup and change the user PIN.
Admin The system starts following entry of the user PIN. You can change the user PIN an
the administrator PIN, unlock locked SmartCards, open and change the BIOS Setup
and generate additional SmartCards for this system.
For instructions on how to install and operate SystemLock, and how to initialise SmartCards, see the
"BIOS Setup" manual.
