SmartCards are not supplied as standard equipment. You can use all SmartCards that comply with
the ISO standard 7816-1, -2 or -3. These SmartCards are available from various manufacturers.
With the appropriate sof tware you can use yo ur SmartCard as an alternative to password protection,
but also as a digital signa ture, for encrypting your e-mails or for home banking.
We recommend that you always use two SmartCards. Always keep one of the SmartCards
in a safe pla ce if you are carrying the other SmartCa rd with you.
In order to be a ble to take a dvan tage of all th e security features of your system, you
will need a CardOS SmartCard from Fujitsu Technology Solutions.
The S martCard can only be used with a PIN so maxim um protection is maintained

SmartCard gets disabled if three incorrect attempts are made to en ter the PIN.
When using your CardOS SmartCard for the first time, you have to enter the preset PIN
"12345678" or the PIN that h as b een informed to you by your system administrator.
