Depending on the device configuration, your notebook may be equipped
with a SmartCard read er.
SmartCards are not supplied as standard equipment. You can use all SmartCa rds that comply with
the ISO standard 7816-1, -2 or -3. These SmartCards are available from various manufacturers.
With the appropriate software you can use your SmartCard as an alternative to p assword protection,
but also as a digital signature, for encrypting y our e-mails or for home banking.
We recommend that you always use two SmartCa rds. Always keep one of the SmartCards
in a safe place if you are carrying the other SmartCa rd with you.
In order to be able to t ake advantage of all the security features of your notebook,
you will nee d a CardOS SmartCard.
The SmartCard can only be used with a PIN, offering maximum p rotection even if
you lose the SmartCard . In order to maximise your security, the CardOS SmartCard
is disabled if three incorrect attempts are made to enter the PIN.
When you use the CardOS SmartCard f or the first time, you will either need to enter the
preset PIN "12345678" or the PIN given to you by your systems administrator.
