DigiSAFE DiskCrypt M100 User Manual 10
4.2.2 Smart Card Lockout mode
This mode controls the behavior of DISKCRYPT M100 when the smart card is removed
after authentication. DISKCRYPT M100 allows the user to choose between two smart
card Lockout modes. There are two supported modes:
1. Lockout (default) – DISKCRYPT M100 is automatically disconnected from the host
PC upon smart card removal.
(The STATUS LED is GREEN in authenticated mode.)
2. No Lockout – DISKCRYPT M100 remains connected to the host PC upon smart
card removal.
(The STATUS LED is RED in authenticated mode.)
To toggle the smart card Lockout mode, follow these steps:
1. Insert the smart card into DISKCRYPT M100. The keypad will turn on to allow key
entry.
2. Press the ADMIN button, followed by the ‘1’ button.
3. Press ENTER. The STATUS LED will blink three times.
4. Enter the 8-digit Admin PIN and press ENTER. DISKCRYPT M100 will proceed
to change the settings. While the change process is taking place, the STATUS
LED will continue to blink. At the end of the process, DISKCRYPT M100 will
provide three ‘beep’ sounds to indicate that this operation is successful.
5. Remove and reconnect the USB cable to exit the Administrative mode.
Note:
The default mode is Lockout mode. This is the recommended (higher security)
mode of usage.
In Lockout mode, DISKCRYPT M100 is automatically disconnected from the host
PC upon card removal. Do NOT remove the smart card while DISKCRYPT M100 is
being accessed as this may cause unrecoverable data loss/corruption.
