of your display.

■

[Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the

brightness of the display.

Using Power Management to Adjust Brightness

To adjust brightness with the power management utility,

click Start -> Control Panel -> Tablet and Pen Settings.

Select the Display tab and set the screen brightness slider

for battery and AC power scenarios.

Using the Fujitsu Menu to Adjust Brightness

To adjust brightness using the Fujitsu menu, click on the

Fujitsu Menu icon in the system tray in the lower right

corner of the screen (or double-click the Function

button). From the menu that appears, select Brightness

Control. The Tablet and Pen Settings window will open.

is set to its highest level by default. If using

battery power your brightness settings is

set to approximately mid-level by default.

The higher the brightness level, the more

power the Tablet PC will consume and the

faster your batteries will discharge. For

maximum battery life, make sure that the

brightness is set as low as possible.

LifeBook Security/Tablet PC Buttons

A unique feature of your LifeBook T4200 Series Tablet

PC is the array of Security and Tablet PC buttons. These

buttons allow you to secure your Tablet PC from unau-

thorized use and to launch specific applications and

functions with the touch of a button.

PRE-LOGON BUTTON FUNCTIONS

All five buttons can be used before logging on to

Windows (i.e., the Windows logon screen is displayed).

Three of the buttons have secondary functions. See

Table 2-3 for information about each of the pre-logon

functions.

SECURITY BUTTON FUNCTIONS

If the security system is activated, upon starting your

Tablet PC or resuming from Standby, Hibernate, or shut-

down mode the security system will require you to enter

a password code using the security buttons. After you

enter the correct password, your system will resume

operation.

When you press the Page Down button when the system

is pre-logon, each press of the button will act as if you

had pressed the [Tab] key.

When you press the Fn button then press and release the

Page Down button, each press of the button will act as if

you had pressed the [Shift]+[Tab] key combination.

The five security/Tablet PC buttons are located on the

bottom right-hand side of the display when it is config-

ured to be used as a notebook.

When you press the Page Up button when the system is

pre-logon, each press of the button will act as if you had

pressed the [Enter] key.

passwords for the security panel to

work.

Incorrect Password Entry

If an invalid supervisor or user password is entered three

times in succession, the system will “beep” for about one

minute. If a valid password is entered within a minute

(while system beeps), the beeping will stop and the

Tablet PC will resume normal operation. If no password

is entered or an invalid password is entered while the

system beeps, the system will return to its previous

locked state (standby or off) and the Security Indicator

will go off. To reactivate the Tablet PC after a password

failure, you must press the Suspend/Resume button,

then enter a correct password.

button.

The cursor control works the same way a mouse does,

and moves the cursor around the display. It only

requires light pressure with the tip of your finger. The

left and right buttons function the same as left and right

mouse buttons. The scroll button allows you to navigate

through pages quickly without using the scroll bars. The

actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending

on the application that is being used. (Figure 2-20)

Volume Control

Your Fujitsu Tablet PC has multiple volume controls

which interact with each other.

Any software that contains audio files will

also contain a volume control of its own. If

you install an external audio device that has

an independent volume control, the

hardware volume control and the software

volume control will interact with each other.

It should be noted that if you set your

software volume to Off, you will override

the external volume control setting.

CONTROLLING THE VOLUME

The volume can be controlled in several different ways:

■

Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on

the Taskbar.

■

Volume can be controlled with the [F8] and [F9] func-

tions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn]

will decrease the volume of your Tablet PC. Pressing

[F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the

volume of your Tablet PC.

■

Volume can be controlled by many volume controls

that are set within individual applications.

■

Certain external audio devices you might connect to

your system may have hardware volume controls.

■

Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on

the volume level that must then be followed by the

other sources.

We recommend that you experiment with the various

volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.

to the right mouse button (when used in combination

with the tip switch). The rear toggle of the barrel button

switch and the eraser switch at the end of the barrel act

as electronic ink “erasers”.

Pen and Active Digitizer

USING THE PEN

You can use the LifeBook T4200 Series Tablet PC pen to

generate and create electronic “ink”, to select items, and

to navigate through programs on the Tablet PC.

Programs that support handwriting recognition also

allow you to write characters directly on the screen with

the pen. You can also use the pen as a drawing tool.

The rear toggle, eraser, and tip click pressures can be

changed by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel, and

double-clicking the Fujitsu Pen Settings icon. Note that

the rear toggle switch and the eraser switch are both

affected by the same settings; they cannot be changed

individually.

To change the rear toggle and eraser button function,

select the drop-down list to select a new function, then

click [Apply]. If you don’t want the rear toggle and

button switch to have any function, select Ignore from

the list.

You are advised to use a screen protector

on your system display to minimize the

chance of its being scratched. Screen

protectors are available from the Fujitsu

Website at us.fujitsu.com/computers.

Adjusting the click pressure determines how much pres-

sure must be put on the pen tip in order for the screen to

react. The softer it is set, less pressure is required; the

harder it is set, more pressure is required. To change the

click pressure, use the slider bar to make the click pres-

sure harder or softer, then click [Apply].

Eraser Button

Tip Switch

Use only the pen provided with your

Tablet PC. Do not use substitutes that

were not designed for the LifeBook T4200

Series Tablet PC.

Figure 2-25. LifeBook T4200 Series Pen

Here are some hints that may help you use the pen more

effectively:

The LifeBook T4200 Series Tablet PC pen

is a high-quality electronic instrument that

can be damaged if used improperly. Treat

the pen as you would any precision device.

Observe the following guidelines:

•

To activate the tip switch, tap or hold the pen tip

against the screen.

•

To activate the barrel button switch, press and hold

the end of the button you wish to use (front toggle is

the right mouse button switch; the rear toggle and

eraser button both act as electronic “erasers”).

• Do not tap the pen on surfaces other

than the Tablet PC screen.

• Do not try to turn the thumb grip on

the pen; it is designed for inserting and

removing the pen from the pen holder.

•

To move the cursor, hold the pen tip within 1/8 inch

(3 - 5 mm) from the screen and move the pen.

To start a program, double-tap the pen tip (tap the

pen tip twice rapidly) on the program icon as you

would double-click a mouse.

• Never store the pen with the tip bearing

the weight of the pen (e.g., sitting tip

down in a pencil cup). Storing the pen

tip down could distort the internal

mechanism over a period of time

(especially in higher temperatures),

causing the tip to act as if it is always

depressed. The pen should be stored in

the pen holder when not in use.

•

To select an object, tap the pen tip on the object

once.

To double-click an object, quickly tap the object

twice.

INSTALLING A PEN TETHER

The screen reacts when the pen tip is approximately 1/8

inch (3-5 mm) from the screen. The pen has four

switches: a tip switch, a barrel button toggle switch with

switches at both ends, and an "eraser" switch, located on

the end of the barrel. By default, the tip switch corre-

sponds to the left mouse button, and the front toggle

(closest to the pen tip) barrel button switch corresponds

To prevent dropping or losing your pen, you should

attach it to your system using the pen tether that is

included with the system.

To attach the pen tether to your Tablet PC, perform the

following steps:

2. Attach the end of the pen tether with the larger loop

to the attachment point on your tablet. To do so,

insert the end of the pen tether through the attach-

ment point, then feed the pen through the large

loop in the tether.

The integrated active digitizer allows you to use the

included pen as a pointing device. You can use the pen

to click, double-click, drag items and icons, or to draw

like a pen or pencil in applications that support this

behavior, such as drawing or painting programs. See the

documentation that came with your application for

details. (Figure 2-28)

CALIBRATING THE PEN

In order to ensure accurate tracking between the pen

and cursor, you must run the Touch Screen Calibration

Utility before you use the active digitizer for the first

time, or after you change the display resolution.

To run the calibration utility:

1. Go to Start -> Control Panel and double-click on

the Tablet and Pen Settings icon.

2. Click Calibrate.

3. Adjust the display of your Tablet PC to a comfort-

able angle.

4. Using the pen, firmly touch the screen directly on

the (+) symbol; the (+) symbol will move to the

next location.

Figure 2-28. Using the pen with the screen

5. Repeat step 4 in the four corners, then click OK.

To avoid potential scratching and damage,

never use anything but the included pen

with the display.

REPLACING THE PEN TIP

With use, the pen tip may become worn or may pick up

foreign particles that can scratch the screen. A damaged

or worn tip may not move freely, causing unpredictable

results when using the pen. If your pen exhibits these

problems, you should replace the pen tip. To do so, use

the pen tip removal tool included with your pen.

To purchase additional or replacement

pens, visit the Fujitsu accessories Website

at: http://us.fujitsu.com/computers.

Clicking

To remove the tip, position the tip in the gap between

the two ends of the tool (Figure 2-27). Pinch the tool

together so the tip is firmly clasped, then pull it from the

barrel. If the tip is worn or damaged, discard it.

To left-click, touch the object you wish to select and then

lift the pen tip immediately. (Figure 2-29)

To right-click, press the front button on the barrel

switch or touch the pen to the screen for a couple of

seconds until the right mouse icon appears at the tip.

Power Management

Your LifeBook T4200 Series Tablet PC has many options

and features for conserving battery power. Some of these

features are automatic and need no user intervention,

such as those for the internal modem. However, others

depend on the parameters you set to best suit your oper-

ating conditions, such as those for the display bright-

ness. Internal power management for your Tablet PC

may be controlled from settings made in your operating

system, pre-bundled power management application, or

from settings made in BIOS setup utility.

Besides the options available for conserving battery

power, there are also some things that you can do to

prevent your Tablet PC battery from running down as

quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate

power saving profile, put your Tablet PC into Standby

mode when it is not performing an operation, and you

can limit the use of high power devices. As with all

mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off

between performance and power savings.

your Tablet PC is active, but not actively accessing

anything, and immediately release the button. You will

hear two short beeps and your system will enter Standby

mode. (See figure 2-6 on page 13 for location).

Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your

Tablet PC’s system memory during periods of inactivity

by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode will

turn off the CPU, the display, the hard drive, and all of

the other internal components except those necessary to

maintain system memory and allow for restarting. Your

Tablet PC can be put in Standby mode by:

■

If your Tablet PC is suspended, pushing the Suspend/

Resume button will return your Tablet PC to active

want the computer to do” list.

DISPLAY TIMEOUT

The Video Timeout is one of the power management

parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the

display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the

user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer

activity will cause the display to restart automatically.

This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume

button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows

Power Management.

HIBERNATE MODE

The Hibernate mode saves the contents of your

Tablet PC’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of

the Suspend/Resume mode. Your Tablet PC is pre-

configured to perform this function.

■

Standby or Hibernate modes should not

be used with certain PC Cards. Check

your PC Card documentation for more

information.

HARD DISK TIMEOUT

The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power

management parameters. This feature saves power by

turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive

activity for the user selected timeout period. Any

attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart

automatically. This feature is independent of the

Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and

disabled in Windows.

■

Disabling the Suspend/Resume button

prevents it from being used to put your

Tablet PC in Standby or Hibernate

mode. The resume function of the

button cannot be disabled.

■

If your Tablet PC is actively accessing

information when you enter Standby or

Hibernate mode, changes to open files

are not lost. The files are left open and

memory is kept active during Standby

mode or the memory is transferred to

■

When PC Cards or external devices are

in use, Save-to-Disk mode cannot return

to the exact state prior to suspension,

because all peripheral devices will be re-

initialized when the system restarts.

RESTARTING THE SYSTEM

If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure

■

The main advantage of using Hibernate

that you use the following procedure.

mode is that power is not required to

maintain your data. This is very impor-

tant if you will be leaving your Tablet PC

in a suspended state for a prolonged

period of time. The drawback of using

Hibernate mode is that it lengthens the

power down and power up sequences

and resets peripheral devices.

1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.

2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows

Shut Down dialog box.

3. Click OK. Your Tablet PC will shut down and

reboot.

Turning off your Tablet PC without exiting

Windows or turning on your Tablet PC

within 10 seconds of the Tablet PC being

shut off may cause an error when you start

the next time.

The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the

AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the

battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is

installed in your Tablet PC and connect the AC or Auto/

Airline adapter.

Lithium ion Battery

Your LifeBook T4200 Series Tablet PC has a Lithium ion

battery that provides power for operating your Tablet

PC when no external power source is available. The

battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be

exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemi-

cals or other hazards.

Make sure that the Battery Charging

indicator and the percentage charge is

shown inside the Battery Level icon on the

Status Indicator Panel.

The Lithium ion battery operating time may become

shorter if it is used under the following conditions:

■

When used at temperatures lower than 41° F (5° C) or

There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery,

therefore you do not need to discharge the battery

completely before recharging. The charge times will be

longer if your Tablet PC is in use while the battery is

charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly,

put your Tablet PC into Standby mode, or turn it off

while the adapter is charging the battery. See “Power

Management” on page 36.

higher than 95° F (35° C). Extreme temperatures not

only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause

battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status

Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a

battery that is outside its operating temperature range.

See “Battery Charging/ Level Indicators” on page 16.

■

When using a high current device such as a modem,

CD-ROM drive, or hard drive, using the AC adapter

will conserve your battery life.

Using heavy current devices such as a

modem or frequent CD-ROM and

PCMCIA powered external device accesses

may prevent charging completely.

■

Do not leave a faulty battery in your

Tablet PC. It may damage your AC

adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter,

another battery or your Tablet PC itself.

It may also prevent operation of your

Tablet PC by draining all available cur-

rent into the bad battery.

Low Battery State

When the battery is running low, your Tablet PC will

beep every 15 seconds and the Battery Level indicator

will flash. If you do not respond to the low battery

alarm, the batteries will continue to discharge until they

are too low to operate. When this happens there will be a

multiple beep alarm and the Battery Level indicator will

show a dead battery. Your Tablet PC will then go into

Standby mode to try and protect your data for as long as

possible. There is no guarantee that your data will not be

lost once the Tablet PC reaches this point.

■

Under federal, state, or local law it may

be illegal to dispose of batteries by

putting them in the trash. Please take

care of our environment and dispose of

batteries properly. Check with your local

government authority for details

regarding recycling or disposing of old

batteries. If you cannot find this infor-

mation elsewhere, contact your support

representative at 1-800-8Fujitsu.

■

You may not be able to hear the alarm if

the volume control is set too low or is

turned off by the hardware or software.

However, you will be able to see the

Battery Level indicator flash. Once the

low battery alarm occurs you must save

all your data and put your Tablet PC into

Standby mode until you can provide a

new power source. You should provide a

charged battery or AC or Auto/Airline

Adapter as soon as possible.

Actual battery life will vary based on

screen brightness, applications, features,

power management settings, battery

condition and other customer preferences.

CD-ROM drive or hard drive usage may

also have a significant impact on battery

life. The battery charging capacity is

reduced as the battery ages. If your

battery is running low quickly, you should

replace it with a new one.

■

When you are in Standby mode there

must always be at least one power

source active. If you remove all power

sources while your Tablet PC is in

RECHARGING THE BATTERY

Standby mode, any data that has not

been saved to the hard drive will be lost.

If you want to know the condition of the Lithium ion

battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the

Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the

battery level changes.

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-

cator just like the normal Standby mode. Once your

Tablet PC goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you

will be unable to resume operation until you provide

a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged

battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to

press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.

In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be

maintained for some time, but if a power source is not

provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop

flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data

that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can

continue to use your Tablet PC while an adapter is

charging the battery.

Battery Release Latches

Shorted Batteries

The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the

battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display

the operating level available in that battery.

(See figure on page 16) If this display shows a Shorted

Battery, it means that the battery is damaged and must

be replaced so it does not damage any other parts of your

Tablet PC.

CHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITY

Once you have changed the system memory capacity by

either adding or removing a memory upgrade module,

be sure to check that your tablet has recognized the

change.

The memory upgrade module is not

something you routinely remove from

your tablet. Once it is installed, you should

leave it in place unless you want to change

system memory capacity.

Your Tablet PC uses Dynamic Video

Memory Technology (DVMT), which

allows the video driver to dynamically

determine the amount of memory that is

used. Your Tablet PC can use a maximum

of 128 MB of system memory for video

functions.

REMOVING A MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE

1. Perform steps 1 through 4 of Installing a Memory

Upgrade Module.

2. Pull the clips sideways away from each side of the

memory upgrade module at the same time.

3. While holding the clips out, remove the module

from the slot by lifting it up and pulling towards the

rear of your tablet. (Figure 4-5)

You can check the memory capacity by clicking [Start]

-> Control Panel, then double-clicking the System icon.

Select the General tab and check the amount of memory

under “Computer.”

The amount of memory displayed should be approxi-

mately the total of all memory modules installed. There

may be a discrepancy of 8 MB which is allocated for

fixed video memory.

1.1 devices, so older USB devices will work with these

ports. USB 2.0 is a much faster design, running 40 times

faster than USB 1.1.

“Device Ports” on page 53.

REAR PANEL COMPONENTS

Following is a brief description of the optional Port

Replicator’s rear panel components.

External Monitor Port

Line Out Jack

external monitor. Note that if a Port Replicator is

attached, you must use the external monitor port on the

Port Replicator. (Figure 4-11)

The line out jack is used for connecting an external

speaker. Note that line out does not provide power, so

the speaker must be externally powered.

External DVI Port

The external Digital Video Interface (DVI) port allows

you to connect an external digital flat-panel monitor or

projector. This provides a pure digital video signal for

digital monitors.

LAN (RJ-45) Jack

The LAN jack allows you to connect a LAN to the Port

Replicator. Note that when the system is attached to the

Port Replicator, the LAN Jack on the Port Replicator

should be used, not the one on the system.

(See Figure 2-7 on page 14 for location)

1. Align the connector with the port opening.

2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.

INFRARED PORT

The Infrared IrDA 1.1 (4 Mbps) port allows for wireless

data transfer between your Tablet PC and other IrDA-

compatible devices, such as another computer or a

printer, without the use of a cable. (See Figure 2-7 on

page 14 for location)

■

The internal modem is designed to the

ITU V.90 standard. Its maximum speed

of 53000 bps is the highest allowed by

FCC, and its actual connection rate

depends on the line conditions. The

maximum speed is 33600 bps at upload.

It is important to keep in mind that while carrying out

this form of communication, both devices must be

placed so their infrared ports are directly facing each

other without obstruction. The devices must also be

separated by at least 6" but no more than 36" for

maximum performance.

■

The internal modem on all LifeBook

T4200 Series Tablet PC’s from Fujitsu

Computer Systems Corporation are

certified for use in the United States and

Canada.

The following conditions may interfere with infrared

communications:

INTERNAL LAN (RJ-45) JACK

The internal LAN (RJ-45) jack is used for an internal 10/

100/1000 Base-T/Tx (Gigabit) Ethernet connection. You

will need to configure your Tablet PC to work with your

particular network. (Please refer to your network

administrator for information on your network

configuration.) To connect the LAN cable follow these

easy steps: (See Figure 2-7 on page 14 for location)

■

A television, radio remote control unit, or a wireless

headphone is being used nearby.

■

Direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or incandescent

light shines directly on the port.

■

Do not move either device while com-

munication is active as it may interrupt

data transmission.

Note that the optional Port Replicator is

designed to cover the LAN jack located on

the system. This ensures that the LAN jack

on the Port Replicator is the only one used

when the Port Replicator is installed.

■

Be careful not to scratch the infrared

port lens. Scratches, dirt, or other sur-

face marks can degrade operation.

*Keyboard controller error

POWER ON SELF TEST MESSAGES

The keyboard controller test failed. You may have to

replace your keyboard or keyboard controller but may

be able to use an external keyboard until then. Contact

your support representative.

The following is an alphabetic list of error-and-status

messages that Phoenix BIOS and/or your operating

system can generate and an explanation of each message.

Error messages are marked with an *. If an error

message is displayed that is not in this list, write it down

and check your operating system documentation both

on screen and in the manual. If you can find no

reference to the message and its meaning is not clear,

contact your support representative for assistance.

*Keyboard error

Keyboard not working. You may have to replace your

keyboard or keyboard controller but may be able to

use an external keyboard until then. Contact your

support representative.

nnnn Cache SRAM Passed

*Keyboard error nn

Where nnnn is the amount of system cache in kilobytes

successfully tested by the Power On Self Test. (This can

only appear if you have an SRAM PC Card installed.)

BIOS discovered a stuck key and displays the scan code

for the stuck key. You may have to replace your keyboard

but may be able to use an external keyboard until then.

Contact your support representative.

*Extended RAM Failed at offset: nnnn

Extended memory not working or not configured prop-

erly. If you have an installed memory upgrade module,

verify that the module is properly installed. If it is prop-

erly installed, you may want to check your Windows

Setup to be sure it is not using unavailable memory

until you can contact your support representative.

*Operating system not found

Operating system cannot be located on either drive A: or

drive C: Enter the setup utility and see if both the fixed

disk, and drive A: are properly identified and that the

boot sequence is set correctly. Unless you have changed

your installation greatly, the operating system should be

on drive C:. If the setup utility is correctly set, your hard

drive may be corrupted and your system may have to be

re-installed from your back up media.

nnnn Extended RAM Passed

Where nnnn is the amount of memory in kilobytes

successfully tested.

*Parity Check 1 nnnn

*Failing Bits: nnnn The hex number nnnn

Parity error found in the system bus. BIOS attempts to

locate the address and display it on the screen. If it

cannot locate the address, it displays “????”. This is a

potentially data destroying failure. Contact your

support representative.

This is a map of the bits at the memory address (in

System, Extended, or Shadow memory) which failed the

memory test. Each 1 (one) in the map indicates a failed

bit. This is a serious fault that may cause you to lose data

if you continue. Contact your support representative.

*Parity Check 2 nnnn

*Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk Controller

Failure (where x = 1-4)

Parity error found in the I/O bus. BIOS attempts to

locate the address and display it on the screen. If it

cannot locate the address, it displays “????”. This is a

potentially data destroying failure. Contact your

support representative.

The fixed disk is not working or not configured prop-

erly. This may mean that the hard drive type identified

in your setup utility does not agree with the type

detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility

to check for the hard drive type settings and correct

them if necessary. If the settings are OK and the message

appears when you restart the system, there may be a

serious fault which might cause you to lose data if you

continue. Contact your support representative.

*Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to SETUP

Displayed after any recoverable error message. Press

the [F1] key to continue the boot process or the [F2]

key to enter Setup and change any settings.

*Invalid NVRAM media type

Problem with NVRAM access. In the unlikely case that

you see this message you may have some display prob-

lems. You can continue operating but should contact

your support representative for more information.

Previous Power On Self Test did not complete success-

fully. The Power On Self Test will load default values and

offer to run Setup. If the previous failure was caused by

incorrect values and they are not corrected, the next

boot will likely fail also. If using the default settings does

not allow you to complete a successful boot sequence,

you should turn off the power and contact your support

representative.

Traveling with your Tablet PC

Do not transport your Tablet PC while it is turned on.

There is no repair for this problem other than replace-

ment. The solution is to become aware of the issue and

take appropriate steps to protect your keyboard.

■

Do not check your Tablet PC as baggage. Carry it with

you.

To clean the keyboard, use a rag dampened slightly with

cleaning solution. Use extreme care to prevent liquid

from dripping between the keys. Spraying directly on the

keys should be avoided. The spray should be applied first

to the cloth, and then the cloth wiped over the keys.

■

When traveling with the hard drive removed, wrap the

drive in a non-conducting materials (cloth or paper).

If you have the drive checked by hand, be ready to

install the drive if needed. Never put your hard drive

through a metal detector. Have your hard drive hand-

inspected by security personnel. You can however, put

your hard drive through a properly tuned X-ray

machine.

BATTERIES

Caring for your Batteries

■

Always handle batteries carefully.

■

Take the necessary plug adapters if you're traveling

overseas. Check the following diagram to determine

which adapter you'll need or ask your travel agent.

Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do

not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not

KEYBOARD

Caring for your Keyboard

■

Eject PCMCIA cards when not in use.

The keyboard of your computer is a very sensitive

instrument. It is made up of many switches that are

activated when you press on the keys. The keyboard is a

major component of the heat dissipation system in a

Tablet PC. Due to heat and size considerations the

keyboard is not sealed. Because the keys are so close

together, it is not easy for the user to see when liquids

have fallen onto the circuitry below the keys.

OPTIONAL FLOPPY DISK DRIVE AND

FLOPPY DISKS

Caring for your Floppy Disks

■

Avoid using floppy disks in damp and dusty locations.

■

Never store a floppy disk near a magnet or magnetic

field.

■

Do not use a pencil or an eraser on a disk or disk label.

Attempting to clean the keyboard with a spray on

cleaner or rag soaked with cleaner the liquid can drip

onto the circuitry sight unseen. Once the liquid seeps

between the layers of circuitry, it can cause corrosion or

other damage to the circuits. This can result in keys

which no longer operate, or which, when pressed, record

the wrong characters and other similar failures.

■

Avoid storing the floppy disks in extremely hot or cold

locations, or in locations subject to severe temperature

changes. Store at temperatures between 50º F (10º C)

and 125º F (52º C).

■

Do not touch the exposed part of the disk behind the

tion reliably if given reasonable care.

■

Always store your discs in their case when not in use.

■

Always handle discs by the edges and avoid touching

the surface.

■

Avoid storing any discs in extreme temperatures.

■

Do not bend discs or set heavy objects on them.

■

Do not spill liquids on discs.

■

Do not scratch discs.

■

Do not put a label on discs.

■

Do not get dust on discs.

■

Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen

or pencil. Always use a felt pen.

■

If a disc is subjected to a sudden change in tempera-

ture, cold to warm condensation may form on the sur-

face. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint free

cloth and let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT use

a hair dryer or heater to dry discs.

■

If a disc is dirty, use only a disc cleaner or wipe it with

a clean, soft, lint free cloth starting from the inner

edge and wiping to the outer edge.

Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology

(SMART) is a technology that provides near-term

failure predictions for hard drives. When SMART is

enabled the hard drive monitors pre-determined drive

attributes that are susceptible to degradation over time.

If a failure is likely to occur, SMART makes a status

report available so that the Tablet PC can prompt the

user to back up the data on the drive. Naturally not all

failures are predictable. SMART predictability is limited

to those attributes which the drive can self-monitor. In

those cases where SMART can give advance warning, a

considerable amount of precious data can be saved.

Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wire-

less LAN (WLAN) devices. The energy levels of these emissions,

however, are far much less than the electromagnetic energy

emissions from wireless devices such as mobile phones. Wire-

less LAN devices are safe for use by consumers because they

operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety

standards and recommendations. The use of Wireless LAN

devices may be restricted in some situations or environments,

such as:

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced technician for help.

FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health

problems are associated with using low power wireless devices.

There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless

devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low

levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range

while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health

effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does

not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health

effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposure have not found

any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some

biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been

confirmed by additional research. The wireless LAN radio

device has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation

exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and

meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in

Supplement C to OET65.

Before Using the Wireless LAN

■

This manual describes the procedures required to prop-

erly setup and configure the integrated Wireless LAN

Mini-PCI device (referred to as "WLAN device" in the

rest of the manual). Before using the WLAN device, read

this manual carefully to ensure it's correct operation.

Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Encoding of data is modulated using Direct Sequence

Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code

Keying (CCK) when the WLAN device is operating in

IEEE 802.11b mode and Orthogonal Frequency Divi-

sion Multiplexing (OFDM) when operating in

IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode.

■

The WLAN device is Wi-Fi certified and operates at

the maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps in

IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode and 11 Mbps in

IEEE802.11b mode.

Wireless LAN Devices Covered by this Document

This document is applicable to systems containing one

of the following two devices. Most of the procedures are

identical. Sections that differ between the two devices

have been noted in the text:

"Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture

where wireless network connectivity between multiple

computers is established without a central wireless

network device, typically known as Access Point(s).

also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc networks

are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing

network connectivity between multiple computers.

main board of the mobile computer.

■

It operates in two license-free RF bands, therefore

eliminating the need to procure an FCC license to

operate. It operates in the 2.4GHz Industrial, Scien-

tific, and Medical (ISM) RF band and in the lower and

middle bands of the 5GHz Unlicensed National Infor-

mation Infrastructure (UNII) bands.

■

The WLANs are capable of three operating modes,

IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g, wireless

LAN standards governed by the IEEE (Institute of

Electronics and Electrical Engineers).

Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authenti-

cation, and encryption key settings are identically

configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.

printers, and databases.

with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz

RF band.

■

Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4 GHz fre-

quency range may interfere with the operation of

WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g modes. Interference

symptoms include reduced throughput, intermittent

disconnects, and large amounts of frame errors. It is

HIGHLY recommended that interfering devices be

powered off to ensure proper operation of the WLAN.

How to Handle This Device

The WLAN device comes pre-installed in your mobile

computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be

necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The Oper-

ating System that your mobile computer comes with has

been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.

DEACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICE

Deactivation of the WLAN device may be desired in

certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where

certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics,

airplanes, etc.). Fujitsu mobile computers employ two

methods with which to deactivate the WLAN device:

WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS

■

The WLAN devices support IEEE802.11a+b/g.

■

The devices operate in the 2.4GHz ISM band the 5

■

Using the Wireless On/Off Switch, or,

GHz lower and middle UNII bands.

■

In Windows, using the Intel PROSet Software or

Atheros Client Utility software.

■

The maximum range of the WLAN device indoors is

typically 80 feet (25 meters). Please note that the max-

imum range you achieve may be shorter or longer than

80 feet, depending on factors such as access point

transmit power, number and density of obstructions,

or external RF interference.

Deactivation using the Wireless On/Off Switch

The WLAN device can be deactivated quickly and effi-

ciently by toggling the Wireless On/Off Switch to the Off

position. (Figure A-3)

■

The wireless On/Off switch has no effect on non-Wire-

less LAN models.

Microwave ovens will interfere with the operation of

WLAN device as microwave ovens operate in the same

2.4GHz frequency range that IEEE802.11b/g devices

operate in. Interference by microwaves does not occur

Wireless LAN Glossary

Ad Hoc Mode

MAC address (Media Access Control Address)

Ad Hoc Mode refers to a wireless network architecture

where wireless network connectivity between multiple

computers is established without a central wireless

network device, typically known as Access Points.

Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in

a peer-to-peer fashion. For details, refer to “Ad hoc

connection” on page 94.

A MAC address (also called an Ethernet address or IEEE

MAC address) is the 48-bit address (typically written as

twelve hexadecimal digits, 0 through 9 and A through F,

or as six hexadecimal numbers separated by periods or

colons, e.g., 0080002012ef, 0:80:0:2:20:ef) which

uniquely identifies a computer that has an Ethernet

interface.

Channel

MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)

Range of narrow-band frequencies used by the WLAN

device to transmit data. IEEE802.11b/g - 11 channels, 22

MHz wide channels.

The maximum size of data which can be transmitted at

one time in networks including the Internet. In an envi-

ronment whose maximum size of data is too large to

correctly receive data, normal communications can be

restored by setting the size of MTU to a smaller value.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate

IP addresses to computers on a local area network.

Network key

Data that is used for encrypting data in data communi-

cation. The personal computer uses the same network

key both for data encryption and decryption, therefore,

it is necessary to set the same network key as the other

side of communication.

DNS (Domain Name System)

A data query service that provides a mechanism with

which to translate host names into Internet addresses.

IEEE802.11a

Network name (SSID: Security Set Identifier)

Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data

rate of 54 Mbps. 802.11a devices operate in the 5 GHz

lower and middle UNII bands.

When a wireless LAN network is configured, grouping is

performed to avoid interference or data theft. This

grouping is performed with “Network name (SSID)”. In

order to improve security, the network key is set

allowing no communication unless “Network name

(SSID)” coincides with the network key.

IEEE802.11b

Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data

rate of 11 Mbps. 802.11b devices operate in the 2.4 GHz

ISM band.

Open system authentication

Access point

Null authentication method specified in the 802.11 stan-

dard that performs no authentication checks on a wire-

less client before allowing it to associate.

Wireless network device used to bridge wireless and

wired network traffic.

PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)

IP address

A method of allowing the authentication protocol

adopted in telephone line connection (PPP) to be used

over an Ethernet.

The logical 32-bit host address defined by the Internet

Protocol that uniquely identifies a computer on a

network. The IP address is usually expressed in dotted

decimal notation.

Protocol

LAN (Local Area Network)

A procedure or rule of delivering data among

computers. Ordered data communication is allowed by

making all conditions required for communication

including the method of data transmission/reception

and actions upon communication errors into proce-

dures.

A LAN or Local Area Network is a computer network (or

data communications network) which is confined to a

limited geographical area.

A p p e n d i x

Shared key authentication

802.11 network authentication method in which the AP

sends the client device a challenge text packet that the

client must then encrypt with the correct WEP key and

return to the AP. If the client has the wrong key or no

key, authentication will fail and the client will not be

allowed to associate with the AP. Shared key authentica-

tion is not considered secure, because a hacker who

detects both the clear-text challenge and the same chal-

lenge encrypted with a WEP key can decipher the WEP

key.

SSID (Service Set Identifier)

Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier

attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that

acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect

to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from

another, so all access points and all devices attempting to

connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A

device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can

provide the unique SSID. Because the SSID is broadcast

in plain text, it does not supply any security to the

network.

Subnet mask

TCP-IP network is controlled by being divided into

multiple smaller networks (subnets). IP address consists

of the subnet address and the address of each computer.

Subnet mask defines how many bits of IP address

comprise the subnet address. The same value shall be set

among computers communicating with each other.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet

Protocol)

A standard protocol of the Internet.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, is a set of standards for wire-

less local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE

802.11 specifications. Certified products can use the

official Wi-Fi logo, which indicates that the product is

interoperable with any other product also showing that

logo.

IP address information

IP addressing is much more complicated

than can be briefly explained in this

document. You are advised to consult with

your network administrator for additional

information.

If IP address is unknown, set IP address as follows:

If you have an access point (DHCP server) on the

network, set the IP address as follows:

[Obtain an IP address automatically]

A DHCP server is a server that

automatically assigns IP addresses to

computers or other devices in the network.

There is no DHCP server for the AdHoc

network.

If the IP address is already assigned to the computer in

the network, ask the network administrator to check the

IP address to be set for the computer.

If no access point is found in the network:

An IP address is expressed with four values in the range

between 1 and 255.

Set the each computer as follows: The value in paren-

theses is a subnet mask.

Computer A: 192.168.100.2 (255.255.255.0)

Computer B: 192.168.100.3 (255.255.255.0)

INSTALLING OMNIPASS

Fingerprint Sensor Device

If OmniPass has already been installed on your system,

skip this section and go directly to “User Enrollment” on

page 114. You can determine whether OmniPass has

already been installed by checking to see if the following

are present:

INTRODUCING THE

FINGERPRINT SENSOR DEVICE

Your system has a fingerprint sensor device just below

the pen storage location. (Figure B-1)

■

The presence of the gold key-shaped OmniPass icon in

the system tray at the bottom right of the screen.

The presence of the Softex program group in the

■

Programs group of the Start menu

System Requirements

The OmniPass application requires space on your hard

drive; it also requires specific Operating Systems (OS’s).

The minimum requirements are as follows:

■

Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Profes-

sional operating system

At least 35 MB available hard disk space

■

Installing the OmniPass Application

Figure B-1 Fingerprint sensor

If OmniPass is already installed on your system, go to

“User Enrollment” on page 114. Otherwise continue

with this section on software installation.

With a fingerprint sensor, you can avoid having to enter

a username and password every time you want to:

■

Log onto Windows

For installation, OmniPass requires that the

user installing OmniPass have

■

Recover from suspend mode

administrative privileges to the system. If

your current user does not have

administrative privileges, log out and then

proceeding with OmniPass installation.

■

Cancel a password-protected screen saver

■

Log into homepages that require a username and pass-

word

After you have “enrolled” - or registered - your finger-

print, you can simply swipe your fingertip over the

sensor for the system recognize you.

To install OmniPass on your system you must:

1. Insert the installation media for the OmniPass appli-

cation into the appropriate drive. If you are

installing from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, you must

find and launch the OmniPass installation program

(setup.exe) from the media.

The fingerprint sensor uses Softex OmniPass which

provides password management capabilities to

Microsoft Windows operating systems. OmniPass

enables you to use a "master password" for all Windows,

applications, and on-line passwords.

2. Follow the directions provided in the OmniPass

installation program. Specify a location to which

you would like OmniPass installed. It is recom-

mended that you NOT install OmniPass in the root

directory (e.g. C:\).

OmniPass requires users to authenticate themselves

using the fingerprint sensor before granting access to the

Windows desktop. This device results in a secure

authentication system for restricting access to your

computer, applications, websites, and other password-

protected resources.

3. Once OmniPass has completed installation you will

be prompted to restart you system. Once your

system has rebooted you will be able to use

OmniPass. If you choose not to restart immediately

after installation, OmniPass will not be available for

use until the next reboot.

OmniPass presents a convenient graphical user interface,

through which you can securely manage passwords,

users, and multiple identities for each user.

GETTING STARTED

The installation program automatically places an icon

(Softex OmniPass) in the Windows Control Panel as well

as a golden key shaped icon in the taskbar.

This section guides you through the preparation of your

system for the OmniPass fingerprint recognition

application. You will be led through the OmniPass

installation process. You will also be led through the

procedure of enrolling your first user into OmniPass.

Verifying Information about OmniPass

to gain access. This can result in dozens of sets of creden-

tials that you have to remember.

After you have completed installing OmniPass and

restarted your system, you may wish to check the version

of OmniPass on your system.

During OmniPass user enrollment a "master password”

is created for the enrolled user. This master password

“replaces” all other passwords for sites you register with

OmniPass.

To check the version information of OmniPass:

1. From the Windows Desktop, double-click the key-

shaped OmniPass icon in the taskbar (usually

located in the lower right corner of the screen),

or,

Example: A user, John, installs OmniPass on his system

(his home computer) and enrolls an OmniPass user with

username “John_01” and password “freq14”. He then

goes to his webmail site to log onto his account. He

inputs his webmail credentials as usual (username

“John_02” and password “lifebook”), but instead of

clicking [Submit], he directs OmniPass to Remember

Password. Now whenever he returns to that site,

OmniPass will prompt him to supply access credentials.

Click the Start button, select Settings, and click

Control Panel (if you are using Windows XP you

will see the Control Panel directly in the Start menu;

click it, then click Switch to Classic View). Double-

click Softex OmniPass in the Control Panel, and the

OmniPass Control Center will appear. If it does not

appear, then the program is not properly installed,

or,

John enters his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01”

and “freq14”) in the OmniPass authentication prompt,

and he is allowed into his webmail account. He can do

this with as many websites or password protected

resources he likes, and he will gain access to all those

sites with his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01” and

“freq14”). This is assuming he is accessing those sites

with the system onto which he enrolled his OmniPass

user. OmniPass does not actually change the credentials

of the password protected resource. If John were to go to

an Internet cafe to access his webmail, he would need to

enter his original webmail credentials (“John_02” and

“lifebook”) to gain access. If he attempts his OmniPass

user credentials on a system other than where he

Click the Start button, select Programs, and from

the submenu select the Softex program group, from

that submenu click OmniPass Control Center.

2. Select the About tab at the top of the OmniPass

Control Panel. The About tab window appears with

version information about OmniPass.

Uninstalling OmniPass

For uninstallation, OmniPass requires that

the user uninstalling OmniPass have

administrative privileges to the system. If

your current user does not have

enrolled that OmniPass user, he will not gain access.

administrative privileges, log out and then

proceeding with OmniPass uninstallation.

The enrollment procedure assumes you

have no hardware authentication devices

or alternate storage locations that you

wish to integrate with OmniPass. If you

desire such functionality, consult the

appropriate sections of this document.

To remove the OmniPass application from your system:

1. Click Start on the Windows taskbar. Select Settings,

and then Control Panel.

2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.

Basic Enrollment

3. Select OmniPass, and then click Change/Remove.

The Enrollment Wizard will guide you through the

process of enrolling a user. Unless you specified other-

wise, after OmniPass installation the Enrollment Wizard

will launch on Windows login. If you do not see the

Enrollment Wizard, you can bring it up by clicking Start

on the Windows taskbar; select Programs; select Softex;

click OmniPass Enrollment Wizard.

4. Follow the directions to uninstall the OmniPass

application.

5. Once OmniPass has finished uninstalling, reboot

your system when prompted.

USER ENROLLMENT

Before you can use any OmniPass features you must first

enroll a user into OmniPass.

1. Click Enroll to proceed to username and password

verification. By default, the OmniPass Enrollment

Wizard enters the credentials of the currently logged

in Windows user.

Master Password Concept

Computer resources are often protected with passwords.

Whether you are logging into your computer, accessing

your email, e-banking, paying bills online, or accessing

network resources, you often have to supply credentials

2. Enter the password you use to log in to Windows.

This will become the “master password” for this

OmniPass user. In most cases, the Domain: value

114

will be your Windows computer name. In a corpo-

rate environment, or when accessing corporate

resources, the Domain: may not be your Windows

computer name. Click [Next] to continue.

3. Once OmniPass has successfully acquired the finger-

print, the Verify Fingerprint screen will automati-

cally appear. To verify your enrolled fingerprint,

swipe your fingertip over the sensor four times to

verify. Successful fingerprint verification will show a

green fingerprint in the capture window and the text

Verification Successful under the capture window.

(An unsuccessful swipe will be indicated in red.)

3. In this step OmniPass captures your fingerprint.

Refer to “Enrolling a Fingerprint” on page 115 for

additional information.

4. Next, choose how OmniPass notifies you of various

events. We recommend you keep Taskbar Tips on

Beginner mode taskbar tips and Audio Tips on at

least Prompt with system beeps only until you get

accustomed to how OmniPass operates. Click [Next]

to proceed with user enrollment. You will then see a

Congratulations screen indicating your completion

of user enrollment.

USING OMNIPASS

You are now ready to begin using OmniPass. Used regu-

larly, OmniPass will streamline your authentications.

Password Replacement

You will often use the password replacement function.

When you go to a restricted access website (e.g., your

bank, your web-based email, online auction or payment

sites), you are always prompted to enter your login

credentials. OmniPass can detect these prompts and you

can teach OmniPass your login credentials. The next

time you go to that website, you can authenticate with

your fingerprint to gain access.

5. Click [Done] to exit the OmniPass Enrollment

Wizard. You will be asked if you’d like to log in to

OmniPass with your newly enrolled user; click [Yes].

Enrolling a Fingerprint

Enrolling a fingerprint will increase the security of your

system and streamline the authentication procedure.

OmniPass Authentication Toolbar

You enroll fingerprints in the OmniPass Control Center.

With an OmniPass user logged in, double-click the

system tray OmniPass icon. Select the User Settings tab

and click Enrollment under the User Settings area. Click

Enroll Authentication Device and authenticate at the

authentication prompt to start device enrollment.

After installing OmniPass and restarting, you will notice

a dialog you have not seen before at Windows Logon.

This is the OmniPass Authentication Toolbar, and it is

displayed whenever the OmniPass authentication system

is invoked. The OmniPass authentication system may be

invoked frequently: during Windows Logon, during

OmniPass Logon, when unlocking your workstation,

when resuming from standby or hibernate, when

unlocking a password-enabled screensaver, during pass-

word replacement for remembered site or application

logins, and more. When you see this toolbar, OmniPass

is prompting you to authenticate.

1. During initial user enrollment, you will be

prompted to select the finger you wish to enroll.

Fingers that have already been enrolled will be

marked by a green check. The finger you select to

enroll at this time will be marked by a red arrow.

OmniPass will allow you re-enroll a finger. If you

choose a finger that has already been enrolled and

continue enrollment, OmniPass will enroll the

fingerprint, overwriting the old fingerprint. Select a

finger to enroll and click [Next].

The Logon Authentication window indicates what

OmniPass-restricted function you are attempting. The

icons in the lower left (fingerprint and key) show what

authentication methods are available to you. Selected

authentication methods are highlighted while unselected

methods are not. When you click the icon for an unse-

lected authentication method, the authentication

prompt associated with that method is displayed.

2. It is now time for OmniPass to capture your selected

fingerprint. It may take a several capture attempts

before OmniPass acquires your fingerprint. Should

OmniPass fail to acquire your fingerprint, or if the

capture screen times out, click [Back] to restart the

fingerprint enrollment process.

When prompted to authenticate, you must supply the

appropriate credentials: an enrolled finger for the finger-

print capture window or your master password for the

master password prompt (the key icon).

Your system has a “swipe” fingerprint sensor (See

Figure B-1). A swipe sensor is small and resembles a

skinny elongated rectangle. To capture a fingerprint,

gently swipe or pull your fingertip over the sensor

(starting at the second knuckle) towards yourself.

Swiping too fast or too slow will result in a failed

capture. The Choose Finger screen has a [Practice]

button; click it to practice capturing your finger-

print. When you are comfortable with how your

fingerprint is captured, proceed to enroll a finger.

Remembering a Password

OmniPass can remember any application, GUI, or pass-

word protected resource that has a password prompt.

Using the following procedure, you can store a set of

credentials into OmniPass. These credentials will then be

linked to your “master password” or fingerprint.

Go to a site that requires a login (username and pass-

word), but do not log in yet. At the site login prompt,

enter your username and password in the prompted

fields, but do not enter the site (do not hit [Enter],

[Submit], [OK], or Login). Right-click the OmniPass

system tray icon and select Remember Password from

the submenu. The Windows arrow cursor will change to

a golden key OmniPass cursor. Click this OmniPass

cursor in the login prompt area, but do not click the

[Login] or [Submit] button.

Click Finish to complete the remember password proce-

dure. The site location, the credentials to access the site,

and the OmniPass authentication settings for the site are

now stored in the OmniPass secure database. The

OmniPass authentication settings (Settings for this Pass-

word Site) can always be changed in Vault Management.

Logging in to a Remembered Site

Whether or not OmniPass prompts you to authenticate

when you return to a remembered site is determined by

Settings for this Password Site and can be changed in

Vault Management.

Associating a Friendly Name

After clicking the OmniPass key cursor near the login

prompt, OmniPass will prompt you to enter a “friendly

name” for this site. You should enter something that

reminds you of the website, the company, or the service

you are logging into. In its secure database, OmniPass

associates this friendly name with this website.

The following cases are applicable to using OmniPass to

password protected resources.

With Master Password

Once you return to a site you have remembered with

OmniPass, you may be presented with a master pass-

word prompt. Enter your master password and you will

be allowed into the site.

Additional Settings for Remembering a Site

When OmniPass prompts you to enter a “friendly name”

you also have the opportunity to set how OmniPass

authenticates you to this site. There are three effective

settings for how OmniPass handles a remembered site.

Logging into Windows with a Fingerprint Device

When logging into Windows with a fingerprint device,

the fingerprint capture window will now appear next to

the Windows Login screen. Place your enrolled fingertip

on the sensor to authenticate. You will be simultaneously

logged into Windows and OmniPass. The capture

window will also appear if you have used Ctrl-Alt-Del to

lock a system, and the fingerprint device can be used to

log back in as stated above.

The default setting is Automatically click the “OK” or

“Submit” button for this password protected site once

the user is authenticated. With this setting, each time

you navigate to this site OmniPass will prompt you for

your master password or fingerprint authentication

device. Once you have authenticated with OmniPass,

you will automatically be logged into the site.

Less secure is the option to Automatically enter this

password protected site when it is activated. Do not

prompt for authentication. Check the upper box to get

this setting, and each time you navigate to this site

OmniPass will log you into the site without prompting

you to authenticate.

If a machine is locked and OmniPass

detects a different user logging back in

with a fingerprint, the first user will be

logged out and the second user logged in.

In Windows XP, your login options must be set either for

classic login, or for fast user switching and logon screen

to be enabled to use your fingerprint to log on to

Windows. To change this go to Control Panel, select

User Accounts and then click Change the way users log

on or off. If your Windows screensaver is password

protected, the fingerprint capture window will now

appear next to screensaver password dialog during

resume. You can authenticate to your screensaver pass-

word prompt with your enrolled finger.

This setting is more convenient in that

whenever you go to a site remembered

with this setting, you will bypass any

authentication procedure and gain instant

access to the site. But should you leave

your system unattended with your

OmniPass user logged in, anyone using

your system can browse to your password

protected sites and gain automatic access.

Password Management

If you uncheck both boxes in Settings for this Password

Site, OmniPass will prompt you for your master pass-

word or fingerprint authentication device. Once you

have authenticated with OmniPass your credentials will

be filled in to the site login prompt, but you will have to

click the website [OK], [Submit], or [Login] button to

gain access to the site.

OmniPass provides an interface that lets you manage

your passwords. To access this GUI, double-click the

OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vault Manage-

ment; you will be prompted to authenticate. Once you

gain access to Vault Management, click Manage Pass-

words under Vault Settings. You will see the Manage

Passwords interface, with a list of friendly names.

U s i n g t h e F i n g e r p r i n t S e n s o r

You can view the credentials stored for any remembered

website by highlighting the desired resource under Pass-

word Protected Dialog and clicking Unmask Values.

Should a password be reset, or an account expire, you

can remove stored credentials from OmniPass. Highlight

the desired resource under Password Protected Dialog

and click Delete Page. You will be prompted to confirm

the password deletion.

Choosing User Identity during Login

To choose your identity during login, type your user-

name in the User Name: field. Press [Tab] and see that

the Domain: field self-populates. Click the Password:

field to bring the cursor to it, and you will see the pull-

down menu in the Identity: field. Select the identity you

wish to login as and then click OK to login.

Switch User Identity

The two check boxes in Manage Passwords govern

whether OmniPass prompts you to authenticate or

directly logs you into the remembered site.

To switch identities at any time, right-click the

OmniPass system tray icon and click Switch User Iden-

tity from the submenu. The Switch Identity dialog will

appear. Select the desired identity and then click OK.

OmniPass will overwrite an old set of credentials for a

website if you attempt to use Remember Password on an

already remembered site.

Identities and Password Management

On the Manage Passwords interface of the Vault

Management tab of the OmniPass Control Center, there

is a pull-down selection box labeled, Identity. This field

lets you choose which identity you are managing pass-

words for. When you select an identity here, only those

password protected dialogs that are associated with that

identity are shown. You can perform all the functions

explained in “Password Management” on page 116.

The exception to the above rule is the resetting of your

Windows password. If your password is reset in

Windows, then the next time you login to Windows,

OmniPass will detect the password change and prompt

you to “Update” or “Reconfirm” your password with

OmniPass. Enter your new Windows password in the

prompt(s) and click OK and your OmniPass "master

password" will still be your Windows password.

CONFIGURING OMNIPASS

This section gives an overview of both the Export/

Import function and the OmniPass Control Center.

OmniPass User Identities

Identities allow OmniPass users to have multiple

accounts to the same site (e.g., [email protected] and

[email protected]). If OmniPass did not provide

you identities, you would be limited to remembering

one account per site.

Exporting and Importing Users

Using the OmniPass Control Center, you can export and

import users in and out of OmniPass. The export

process backs up all remembered sites, credentials, and

any enrolled fingerprints for an OmniPass user. All

OmniPass data for a user is backed up to a single

encrypted database file. During the import process, the

Windows login of the exported user is required. If the

proper credentials cannot be supplied, the user profile

will not be imported.

To create and manage identities, double-click the

OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vault Manage-

ment; OmniPass will prompt you to authenticate. Once

you gain access to Vault Management, click Manage

Identities under Vault Settings. You can only manage

the identities of the currently logged in OmniPass user

■

To add a new identity, click New Identity or double-click

Click here to add a new identity. Name the new identity

and click [OK], then click [Apply]. You can now switch

to the new identity and start remembering passwords.

You should periodically export your user

profile and store it in a safe place. If

anything happens to your system, you

can import your OmniPass profile to a

new system and have all your remem-

bered settings and fingerprints instantly.

To delete an identity, highlight the identity you want to

delete and click [Delete Identity], then click [Apply].

■

You don't forget the Windows login

credentials when exporting. When you

examine the importation, you are

prompted for authentication. The

credentials that will allow a user profile

to be imported are the Windows login

credentials of the exported user. They

are the credentials that had to be

submitted when the user profile was

exported. You will need User Name,

Password, and Domain.

When you delete an identity, all of its

associated remembered sites and password

protected dialogs are lost.

To set the default identity, highlight the identity you

want as default and click [Set as Default]; click [Apply]

to ensure the settings are saved. If you log in to

OmniPass with a fingerprint device, you will automati-

cally be logged in to the default identity for that

OmniPass user. You can choose the identity with which

you are logging in if you login using "master password".

Exporting an OmniPass User Profile

To export a user, open the OmniPass Control Center,

and click Import/Export User under Manage Users.

If you export an OmniPass-only user, you can import

that user to any computer running OmniPass, pro-

vided that a user with that name is not already

enrolled in OmniPass.

Click Exports an OmniPass user profile. OmniPass will

prompt you to authenticate. Upon successfully authenti-

cation, you must name the OmniPass user profile and

decide where to save it. An .opi file is generated, and you

should store a copy of it in a safe place.

■

If you attempt to import a user profile who has the

same name as a user already enrolled in OmniPass, the

OmniPass import function will fail.

OMNIPASS CONTROL CENTER

This section will serve to explain functions within the

OmniPass Control Center that weren’t explained earlier.

This .opi file contains all your user specific OmniPass

data, and it is both encrypted and password protected.

This user profile does NOT contain any of your

encrypted data files.

You can access the OmniPass Control Center any of

three ways:

■

Importing an OmniPass User Profile

Double-click the golden OmniPass key shaped icon in

the Windows taskbar (typically in the lower-right cor-

ner of the desktop)

You cannot import a user into OmniPass if

there already is a user with the same name

enrolled in OmniPass.

Manage Users. Click Imports a new user into OmniPass

and then select OmniPass Import/Export File (*.opi)

and click Next. OmniPass will then prompt you to

browse for the file you had previously exported (.opi

file). When you select the .opi file for importation,

OmniPass will prompt you for authentication. The

credentials that will allow a user profile to be imported

are the Windows login credentials of the exported user.

They are the credentials that had to be submitted when

the user profile was exported. You will need User Name,

Password, and Domain. If you don’t remember the value

for Domain, in a PC or SOHO environment Domain

should be your computer name.

click the Softex OmniPass icon.

User Management

The User Management tab has two major interfaces:

Add/Remove User and Import/Export User. Import/

Export User functionality is documented in “Exporting

and Importing Users” on page 117. Add/Remove User

functionality is straightforward.

If you click Adds a new user to OmniPass you will start

the OmniPass Enrollment Wizard. The Enrollment

Wizard is documented in “User Enrollment” on

page 114.

If you click Removes a user from OmniPass, OmniPass

will prompt you to authenticate. Authenticate with the

credentials (or enrolled fingerprint) of the user you wish

to remove. OmniPass will prompt you to confirm user

removal. Click OK to complete user removal.

OmniPass will notify you if the user was successfully

imported.

Things to Know Regarding Import/Export

■

Assume you export a local Windows User profile from

Removing a user will automatically destroy

all OmniPass data associated with that

user. All identities and credentials

machine that has OmniPass. Before you can import

the profile, a Windows user with the same login cre-

dentials must be created on the machine importing the

profile.

associated with the user will be lost.

If you are sure about removing the user,

we recommend you export the user

profile.

Example: I have a Windows user with the username

“Tom” and the password “Sunshine” on my system. I

have enrolled Tom into OmniPass and remembered

passwords. I want to take all my passwords to new sys-

tem. I export Tom’s OmniPass user profile. I go to my

new system and using the Control Panel I create a user

with the username "Tom" and the password "Sun-

shine". I can now successfully import the OmniPass

user data to the new system.

User Settings

The User Settings tab has four interfaces: Audio Settings,

Taskbar Tips, and Enrollment. User settings allow users

to customize OmniPass to suit their individual prefer-

ences. Under User Settings (Audio Settings and Taskbar

Tips) you can set how OmniPass notifies the user of

OmniPass events (e.g., successful login, access denied,

etc.). The details of each setting under the Audio

Settings and Taskbar Tips interfaces are self-explana-

tory.

Cannot add a User with a Blank Password to OmniPass

If you experience difficulties adding a user with a

blank password to OmniPass, you may need to adjust

your local security settings. First attempt the proce-

dure explained in the Cannot add Windows user to

OmniPass section. If the difficulties persist, then try

the following procedure.

The Enrollment interface allows you to enroll finger-

prints. For the procedure to enroll and authentication

device refer to Chapter 2.3. To enroll additional finger-

prints, click Enroll Authentication Device, and authen-

ticate with OmniPass. Select the fingerprint recognition

device in the Select Authentication Device screen (it

should already be marked by a green check if you have a

finger enrolled) and click Next.

Click Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools,

and Local Security Settings. Expand Local Policies,

expand Security Options, and double-click

Accounts: Limit local account use of blank pass-

words to console login only. This setting should be

set to Disabled.

System Settings

The OmniPass Startup Options interface can be found

in the System Settings tab. With these options you can

specify how your OmniPass Logon is tied to your

Windows Logon.

Dialog appears after OmniPass authentication during

Windows Logon

After installing OmniPass on your system, you can

choose to logon to Windows using OmniPass. You

authenticate with OmniPass (via master password, or

an enrolled security device) and OmniPass logs you

into Windows. You may, during this OmniPass

authentication, see a Login Error dialog box.

The first option, Automatically log on to OmniPass as

the current user, will do just as it says; during Windows

Windows login credentials. If the user logging into

Windows was never enrolled into OmniPass, upon login

no one will be logged on to OmniPass. This setting is

appropriate for an office setting or any setting where

users must enter a username and password to log into a

computer. This is the default setting.

This dialog box occurs when OmniPass was unable to

log you into Windows with the credentials supplied

(username and password). This could happen for any

of the following reasons:

■

Your Windows password has changed

Your Windows account has been disabled

■

With the second option, Manually log on to OmniPass

at startup, OmniPass will prompt you to login once you

have logged on to Windows.

If you are having difficulties due to the first reason,

you will need to update OmniPass with your changed

Windows account password. Click Update Password

and you will be prompted with a dialog to reconfirm

your password.

With the third option, Do not log on to OmniPass at

startup, OmniPass will not prompt for a user to be

logged on.

You can manually log on to OmniPass by right-clicking

the OmniPass taskbar icon and clicking Log in User

from the right-click menu.

Enter the new password to your Windows user

account and click OK. If the error persists, then it is

unlikely the problem is due to your Windows user

account password changing.

TROUBLESHOOTING

You cannot use OmniPass to create Windows users. You

must first create the Windows user, and you will need

administrative privileges to do that. Once the Windows

user is created, you can add that user to OmniPass using

the same username and password

Cannot add Windows users to OmniPass

If you experience difficulties adding a Windows user

to OmniPass, you may need to adjust your local secu-

rity settings. You can do this by going to Start,

Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Local

Security Settings. Expand Local Policies, expand

Security Options, and double-click Network Access:

Sharing and Security Model for Local Accounts. The

correct setting should be Classic - Local Users Authen-

ticate as Themselves.
