End-User Reference Guide      1   Welcome Welcome to the OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian Release 1.6 End-User Reference Guide. This guide will introduce you to the many functions of the OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian (NLG) card and its operation.  For instructions on how to install or upgrade your card and the client software, see the OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian Release 1.6 Card Quick Start Guide. It is recommended to have the Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) patch installed for Windows XP on your laptop. Overview of OmniAccess 3500 NLG Card Features The OmniAccess 3500 NLG card keeps your laptop within the security perimeter of your company’s network and provides the same user experience at all times, irrespective of where you are.  The card supports the following functions: • Secure connectivity to your company’s network irrespective of your laptop’s location and without requiring user intervention.  • Single sign-on – Just use your domain authentication credentials for secure remote access to the enterprise network.  • Automatic switchovers to the next best network interface if the company’s network can no longer be reached using the existing interface. • Easy manual switching of network interface serving the connection to your company’s network when the laptop senses a surrounding access network with better performance. • Option to use the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card as a smart card. You just need to enter a PIN (instead of domain credentials) to securely access your company’s network.  • Integrated Personal Firewall to protect your laptop from attackers and to restrict the set of applications that are allowed to access the network. • Encrypted volume for storage of sensitive data in your laptop’s hard disk. Configuration and management of the encrypted volume are fully transparent to you (no passwords to enter and maintain). The OmniAccess 3500 NLG Release 1.6 supports volume encryption for Truecrypt versions 4.3a, 5.1a, and 6.0a. • Protection of the data stored in your laptop in case it is lost or stolen. Your IT administrator can remotely lock the laptop or destroy the keys that are required for decryption of the encrypted volume contents. • Integration of common patch management applications (Microsoft SMS, PatchLink Update).  • The same laptop can be shared by multiple users if so configured by the IT administrator. • Interoperation with full hard disk encryption solutions.
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian Release 1.6  2 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION The OmniAccess 3500 NLG card works with Windows-based laptops with the following minimum configuration: • CPU: X86 1GHz • Memory: 512 MB • Free hard disk space: 1 GB • Operating system: Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 3 patch is recommended), or Tablet edition • One PC Cardbus slot Note:- Windows XP Home edition can also be used, but only if the laptop is configured for RADIUS authentication. The OmniAccess 3500 NLG card and client software present the following interfaces for interaction with the end user: • OmniAccess 3500 NLG client GUI • OmniAccess 3500 NLG tray icon • LEDs on the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card • Radio On/Off button on the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card. Common Operations The following sections shows you how to perform basic operations with your OmniAccess 3500 NLG card and with the graphical user interface of the client software that comes with the card. (For installation procedure refer to OmniAccess Nonstop Laptop Guardian Release 1.6 Card Quick Start Guide)  How do I use my laptop? You can keep using your laptop as always, with no extra steps required. Your OmniAccess 3500 NLG card automatically keeps your laptop connected to your company’s network whenever network connectivity is available. The OmniAccess 3500 NLG tray icon displays the status of your connection. If your administrator has configured an encrypted volume for your laptop, the OmniAccess 3500 NLG automatically mounts it to your file system. Only a few specialized operations require you to access the OmniAccess 3500 NLG client GUI on your laptop. Many of the client GUI commands can also be accessed by right-clicking on the tray icon. How do I log into my laptop? Important: - The laptop login procedure varies depending on the authentication method that your administrator has configured for your user account. The following options are available:
End-User Reference Guide      3   • Domain (Default) - You log into your laptop by entering your Windows Domain username and password on the Windows logon prompt. The procedure also gives you access to your company’s network, whether you are connected from within the premises of your company or from a remote location. Note: If you are logging into your Windows domain for the first time after installing the OmniAccess 3500 NLG client software (your laptop has no cached credentials), please wait for the light of the card LED to turn amber before entering your Windows Domain username and password.  • Smart Card: At the Windows logon prompt, press the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace key combination to display the PIN prompt. Enter your PIN to start using the laptop and access your corporate network. Note that the smart Authentication works only if you are using the keyboard of your laptop, any external keyboard may not work. Please contact your administrator if you don't know the PIN. Note: If your user account is configured for smart-card login, the Windows logon prompt shows the message “Please insert the card”. Hitting the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace key combination is equivalent to physically inserting/extracting a smart card in/from your laptop. If the card is coming up from sleep mode then wait until the card's NLG LED stops blinking and gives a steady light before entering authentication credentials. • Domain and Smart Card: Your user account may be configured for both authentication methods. In this case you choose your preferred authentication procedure every time you login. How do I interpret the state of the card LEDs? There are two LEDs on the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card as described below:   Figure 1:  OmniAccess 3500 NLG Card (HSPA)
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian Release 1.6  4 • 3G Modem LED can be in one of the following states: o No light: 3G modem is off. o Slow-blinking amber light: 3G modem is on. o Fast-blinking yellow light: 3G modem is transmitting data. • NLG LED can be in one of the following states: o No light: Card is in sleep mode or off. o Solid red light: Card is up, VPN tunnel is down. o Solid amber light: Tunnel is up but not authenticated. Only management traffic can flow across the Card and the Gateway but no user traffic.  o Solid green light: Card is up, VPN tunnel is up and the user has been authenticated. Both user and management traffic can flow.  Note: To receive the 3G signal the external antenna of the card must be raised." How do I interpret the state of OmniAccess 3500 NLG tray icon OMNIACCESS 3500 NLG TRAY ICON You find an icon with the Alcatel-Lucent infinity logo added to your laptop’s icon tray. The color of the icon provides visual indication of the current status of your connection to the enterprise network (roll over the icon with your mouse to have a more detailed status description displayed):   Figure 2:  OmniAccess 3500 NLG tray icon colors • Purple icon — You have full access to your company’s network. The mouse-rollover pop-up message shows the type of access network in use and the strength of the 3G signal. • Yellow icon — The card is connected to the OmniAccess 3500 NLG gateway in your company’s network, but you don’t have access to the network. Only management transactions can take place between the card and the gateway. The mouse-rollover pop-up message shows the type of access network in use and the strength of the 3G signal. This happens only when a valid user is not logged into the laptop.  • Red icon — there is no connectivity between the card and your company’s network or an error has occurred in the operation of the card. The mouse-rollover pop-up message will show further information about the error condition, such as: o Not Connected
End-User Reference Guide      5   o Radio timeout along with the time left over if the 3G modem has been turned off. o Laptop is working unguarded under the effect of the One-Time-Password. It will also show the duration left till you can continue using the laptop. (See section One Time Password (OTP. How do I switch Off (On) the 3G modem on my card? In some environments (e.g. on board of airplanes that are landing or taking off) regulatory restrictions require that all radio equipments shall be turned off. The OmniAccess 3500 NLG card allows you to selectively turn off the integrated 3G Radio Modem allowing you to continue using the laptop and the functionality provided by the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card except for 3G connectivity.   Figure 3:  OmniAccess 3500 NLG card (HSPA) To toggle the power state (turn Off or On) of the 3G Radio modem, push the Radio On-Off button located on the front of the card with the tip of a ballpoint pen.   Note: The power state of the 3G modem is always remembered throughout a reboot event. After the laptop or the card reboots the 3G modem is in the same power state as before the reboot started. How do I control the power state of the OmniAccess 3500 NLG Card? As your laptop goes into Standby/Hibernate/Shutdown state with the card plugged in, or as the card is removed from the laptop, the card automatically switches to sleep mode (shutdown) in 10 minutes if the 3G modem is on and in 1-2 minutes if the 3G modem is off to preserve the integrate battery charge. Your card automatically powers on when it is plugged into a laptop that has power.
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian Release 1.6  6 However if you need to manually shut down the power to the card for the reasons like shipping then it can be done by any of the method listed below: • Take the card out of the laptop (see also How do I remove the card from my laptop??) Press and hold the Radio On/Off button for 5 seconds. It will turn off the card. The power will restore automatically when inserted into a powered laptop.  • Press the Reset switch (accessible only when the card is removed from the laptop) to turn OFF the power to card completely.

How do I connect to the company network? If the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card has been properly activated and configured and at least one of the network interfaces has connectivity to the Internet, the OmniAccess 3500 NLG will automatically connect you to your company’s network over a secure tunnel. The Interfaces section of the client GUI window will show the green lightening bolt symbol next to the interface that is currently serving the network connection.  Be sure that you are logged into your laptop with the user ID and password (NT Domain credentials) provided by your IT administrator for access to your company’s network. If you use a different set of credentials to log into your laptop, you will see the lightening bolt color as yellow and you will have no access to your company’s network.
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian Release 1.6  12 Depending on network conditions, access to your company’s network may not be immediately available after you log into your laptop. The appearance of the lightening bolt symbol will indicate when the secure tunnel to your company’s network is established.  After your laptop boots up, one of the following three network interfaces, in the order of priority given below, is used for establishing a connection: 1. Ethernet on your laptop 2. Wi-Fi on your laptop 3. 3G wireless on your OmniAccess 3500 NLG card A lower-priority interface is used if no connectivity is available for the higher-priority one(s). Once a connection has been established, the serving interface does not change unless the corresponding access network becomes unavailable (in which case the OmniAccess 3500 NLG automatically establishes a new connection over the available access network with the highest priority) or you switch it manually.  How do I manually change my serving network interface? If you are connected to your company’s network through the 3G modem on your OmniAccess 3500 NLG card and a Wi-Fi access point or an Ethernet outlet become available near you, you may want to switch your serving interface to experience faster network access. To manually switch from one interface to another, simply select the desired interface in the Interfaces section of the OmniAccess 3500 NLG Client window and click Connect in the Enterprise Connection Mode section (or simply double-click on the desired interface). The Status bar will show the progress in the establishment of the new connection.  What if my 3G plan is not unlimited? If you do not want the OmniAccess 3500 NLG to automatically use the 3G connection (for example, because your 3G service provider charges you based on traffic), uncheck the Auto 3G Connect checkbox in the 3G section of the OmniAccess 3500 NLG Client window. If the system subsequently needs to connect via 3G, the following pop-up window appears:  Figure 12: Auto 3G prompt window Click Yes or No, depending on whether you want to use the 3G interface to connect to your company’s network.
End-User Reference Guide      13   If you are connected to your company’s network through the 3G modem on your OmniAccess 3500 NLG card and you want to drop the 3G connection without replacing it with another connection, select the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card in the Interfaces section of the OmniAccess 3500 NLG Client window and click the Disconnect button (the Disconnect button is available only if the Auto 3G Connect option is not set). Note: The setting of the Auto 3G Connect checkbox is overridden when the 3G connection is initiated by the OmniAccess 3500 NLG gateway (at times when the laptop may be powered off or not already connected to the gateway). How do I select my roaming and network preferences? To avoid paying the extra connectivity fees that wireless service providers different than yours may charge when you roam through their networks (being attached to a visited network instead of your home network), you can prevent your 3G modem from connecting to a visited network by disabling its roaming capability. You can also prevent your modem from attaching to low-bandwidth wireless networks. To select your preferred roaming and networking modes, do the following: 1. On the OmniAccess 3500 NLG Client window, from the Wireless menu, click Preferences. The Preferences window appears.  Figure 13:  3G Preferences Window 2. In the Bearer selection section of window you can select the type of carrier 2G, 3G or Automatic. 3. In the Roaming section of the window, you can set the 3G preference to Automatic, Manual or Never. Selecting Never will disable roaming for the OmniAccess 3500 NLG. Select Automatic (to keep both in-network and out-of-
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian Release 1.6  14 network attachment available). If you select manual then the network available will be displayed in the Select Network drop down drop down list. Note: The Roaming Guard, Roaming Mode, and Network Mode settings are overridden when the 3G connection is initiated by the OmniAccess 3500 NLG gateway (at times when the laptop may be powered off or not already connected to the gateway). How do I connect from a public hotspot? Wi-Fi access points and Ethernet outlets in hotels and other public places often require you to enter additional credentials (for example, a local user ID and password or your credit card information) before granting network access. Since the OmniAccess 3500 NLG cannot know in advance the type of access negotiation implemented at every such place, you will be required to interactively submit your local access credentials. To establish connectivity from a location that requires the submission of local-access credentials, you must complete the following procedure within the time allowed by your IT administrator (Default configured is five minutes): 1. Select the desired interface (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) to make the connection.  2. Select the Hotspot radio button and Click Authenticate and Connect button. 3. A window will appear asking for the proxy information. Please leave this blank and simply hit the OK button.    4. Now an Internet Explorer window opens, displaying information about the visited hotspot and asking you to enter the information required to access the public network.  5. After you enter the required information, the OmniAccess 3500 NLG can establish a secure tunnel to your company’s network through the public network. Note: While establishing connection via hotspot if you get either "Action Cancelled" or "The page cannot be displayed" window then try refreshing the browser page  Authentication and Security RADIUS only: How can I access the network using RSA SecureID? If your user account is configured for RADIUS authentication, you may have to use RSA SecureID to access your network. The following two sections describe the access procedures for the first login after configuration of the RSA SecureID access method and for all subsequent logins. FIRST RSA SECUREID LOGIN Follow the steps below the first time you access your network as an RSA SecureID user: 1. On the RADIUS Login prompt window (Error! Reference source not found.), fill the User Name field with your login name and the Password field with the tokencode displayed on the RSA Secure ID device. Click OK.

Fill the Response field with your passcode (PIN + tokencode) after the tokencode has changed value on the RSA SecureID display. Click OK.  Figure 17:  Fourth RADIUS Login prompt window for first login 5. A login confirmation window appears (Error! Reference source not found.) if you have entered all credentials successfully.    Figure 18:  RADIUS Login confirmation window for first login Note: If you enter wrong values for your credentials (whether the PIN or the token code) for three consecutive times, you will be placed in next token-code mode. In this mode, you will have to enter the correct passcode twice. System Generated PIN RSA Authentication Manager can be configured by the administrator such that the user can either get a System generated PIN or user can enter a new PIN. You can receive a system - generated PIN by entering ‘Y’ in the Response field as shown below if RSA manager is configured for the cards.
End-User Reference Guide      17    Figure 19: System Generated PIN In case you are not satisfied with the systems generated PIN and want another pin to be generated by the system then you can also do so by entering ‘N’ at the next Response field.  Figure 20: Access Denied Important Note: - *If you get an Access denied screen at this point then close the application and restart. This feature is under modification. SUBSEQUENT RSA SECUREID LOGINS The following procedure applies to all RSA SecureID logins following the first one:  1. On the RADIUS Login prompt window (Figure 21Error! Reference source not found.), fill the User Name field with your login name and the Password field with your current passcode (PIN + tokencode currently displayed on the RSA SecureID device). Click OK.
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian Release 1.6  18  Figure 21:  RADIUS Login prompt window for returning user The Pin is a 4 -8 digit number configured at the Administrator end and the Token code is an 8 digit number displayed on the RSA Secure ID Authenticator device. 2. If the credentials you entered are correct, Radius Login Successful should appear.  Figure 22:  Successful RADIUS Login   How do I manage my personal firewall? The personal firewall that resides in your OmniAccess 3500 NLG card may prevent some applications in the laptop from opening network connections. However, a setting in your personal firewall policy may allow you to override the default decision of the personal firewall. ALLOWING AN APPLICATION THROUGH THE FIREWALL If your personal firewall policy allows you to override its default settings regarding the treatment of certain applications, an OmniAccess 3500 NLG Application Filter window pops up on the laptop screen every time the personal firewall detects an attempt to open a network connection by one of your applications. The window offers you the option to allow (click Yes) or deny (click No) the network connection.
End-User Reference Guide      19    Figure 23:  Personal Firewall Application prompt The personal firewall will remember your answer for all future attempts to open a network connection by the same application. If you want to change your decision for the application, you need to remove the application from the list of applications for which the personal firewall has a set allow/deny policy (see the instructions in the Removing an application from the firewall list section below). The next time the application tries to open a network connection, you will be asked again if you want to allow or deny the connection request. VIEWING PERSONAL FIREWALL SETTINGS The Personal Firewall Settings option in the NLG menu opens a window with the list off all the applications running on your laptop for which the personal firewall has a set allow/deny rule.   Figure 24:  Personal Firewall Settings window
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian Release 1.6  20 REMOVING AN APPLICATION FROM THE FIREWALL LIST You can delete an application from the list of applications that are allowed or denied through the personal firewall, provided that you have permission to do so. You have permission to manage the handling of the application in the personal firewall if the <User> value is shown next to the application in the “Controlled by” column. The <User> value can only be found next to applications for which you have been previously asked for an allow/deny decision.

In that case you are encouraged to store all sensitive files in the secure drive only. If the laptop is lost or stolen, your IT administrator can remotely remove from the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card the secret password that is needed for decrypting the data in the secure drive thus making the data stored in the encrypted volume inaccessible to anyone.  No extra steps are required to operate the secure drive. The OmniAccess 3500 NLG automatically mounts the drive after you successfully log into the laptop with your Windows NT account. You will have no access to the secure drive if you are logged-in using any other account (e.g., a Guest account) to log into your laptop. Warning: The secure drive is created and maintained using the TrueCrypt open source software. To avoid the loss of the sensitive data stored in the secure drive you should never use the TrueCrypt user interface for any purpose (e.g., to modify the secure drive configuration). Please contact your IT administrator if you need assistance with your secure drive.  If your IT administrator decides to create the secure drive after you have started using your OmniAccess 3500 NLG card, the installation of the TrueCrypt software may be either automatic (driven by your company’s IT solution for remote software distribution and installation) or manual. If you are required to manually install the TrueCrypt software, please note the following: • The OmniAccess 3500 NLG Release 1.6 is compatible with TrueCrypt Version 4.3a 5.1a, 6.0a. The latest version of the software can be downloaded from http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads.php.
End-User Reference Guide      21   • For all information about the TrueCrypt software, please refer to the documentation available at http://www.truecrypt.org. • Accept all default values during the installation. Any deviation from the default values may compromise the installation. While the secure drive is being created (by request of your IT administrator), your keyboard and mouse will be locked for a short time. Do not reboot your laptop during this process. . The keyboard and mouse will unlock when the secure drive creation completes after a couple of minutes. USING A LAPTOP THAT IS CONFIGURED FOR SMART CARD LOGIN You can skip this section if your laptop is configured for the default NT Domain login. If the laptop is configured for smart card login, everything remains the same except the following: 1. To start the login and logout procedures you must press the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace key combination instead of the Ctrl-Alt-Delete combination. To login, please enter your six digit PIN. Default PIN is 123456, and it should be changed using the steps described below. Note that the smart card - Authentication works only if you are using laptop key, any external keyboard may not authenticate. 2. To complete the login procedure you must enter a six-digit PIN instead of your NT Domain username and password.  3. To change the login PIN, click Start > Run, type the command <pintool>, and click OK. You finish by entering the old PIN and the new one.  4. Your login certificate is removed from your card and your smart card login is disabled after four consecutive unsuccessful login attempts made with an invalid PIN.  5. If the smart card login is disabled in your laptop you must contact your IT helpdesk to re-enable it. After the smart card login is re-enabled, the PIN is reset to a fixed default value (<123456>). For security reasons, you should invoke the pintool command to customize the PIN value immediately after the smart card login is re-enabled. 6. If you press the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace key combination after having logged into your laptop using the same sequence and your PIN, you may observe different behaviors depending on the Group Policy settings that your administrator has applied to your laptop. Note that the smart card - Authentication works only if you are using laptop key, any external keyboard may not authenticate. The following options are available: (i) <No Action>; (ii) <Lock Workstation> (to temporarily lock your laptop); and (iii) <Force Logoff> (to close your user session). You can verify the settings for you laptop by entering the gpedit.msc command at the Start>Run prompt and then checking the value of the Local computer Policy>Computer Configuration>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Local Policies>Security Options>Interactive logon: Smart card removal behavior policy.

System Integrity Check Failed  An internal check has failed.  Restart the laptop and if it does not solve the problem then contact your IT administrator to get an OTP. Invalid Card  The laptop and the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card are tied one-to-one. If the card inserted in the laptop is not the card configured for that laptop, the laptop locks. For the HSPA version of the card, the laptop locks also when the SIM is swapped.  Replace the correct card or contact your IT administrator to get an OTP.  One Time Password (OTP) UNLOCKING LAPTOP USING ONE TIME PASSWORD (OTP) If your laptop is locked and you are unable to rectify the cause, then you can still use your laptop for a limited duration by getting OTP from your administrator. To get OTP and unlock the laptop, following procedure may be used: 1. Please call your administrator using the contact information listed at the bottom of the lock screen.  2. In addition to verifying your identity and the need for OTP, you will be asked for the following information from the lock screen. The value in the () shows the sample values as displayed in Figure 30.
OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian Release 1.6  28 − Date (05/23/2008) − Time (11:46:21) − Timezone (GMT-4) − Screen Count (1734508387) 3. You will be provided with a password consisting of small words separated by hyphens (-) such as MOT-SHOW-ROLL-FOUR-HYMN-ROVE. Please enter this password on your lock screen and hit OK to unlock the laptop.  Note: Hyphens (-) are part of the password and you need to enter them. The OTP is not case sensitive. For the ease of typing the password you may uncheck the ‘Hide Password’ option if the environment permits.  The laptop then remains operational for a fixed amount of time, after which it locks again if in the meantime you have not removed the cause of the initial lock event.  Note that under the effect of the OTP some of important safety controls normally provided by OmniAccess 3500 NLG controls are disabled, therefore it is highly recommended to avoid being under OTP as far as possible. After unlocking the laptop using OTP, you can connect directly to Internet using any of the laptop interfaces (cannot use the 3G interface) as you would do from a normal laptop. The access to the files stored in the encrypted volume will be available only if the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card is accessible.  The time remaining under the OTP can be seen by keeping the cursor on the OmniAccess 3500 NLG tray icon for few seconds. Your laptop will lock after the expiry of the OTP duration if the corrective action is not completed before the expiry of OTP. Of course you may always request another OTP from the administrator at the expiry.   SECURE CONNECTIVITY UNDER OTP After your laptop enters the OTP mode of operation, you must manually select your preferred interface to establish the secure tunnel to the enterprise and gain access to the enterprise network.  Your laptop may be in one of the following two states after entering the OTP mode: 1. There is no secure tunnel to the enterprise. o Select your preferred interface out of the ones that are currently available. o Click the Connect button. 2. The card is securely connected to the enterprise via the 3G interface but you are not authenticated with the network. o Uncheck the Auto 3G option (if currently checked). o Select the 3G interface and click Disconnect (the Connect button turns into a Disconnect button if the Auto 3G option is unchecked and the 3G interface is currently supporting the secure tunnel to the enterprise). o After the tunnel goes down, select the 3G interface and click Connect. After the tunnel comes back you will also be authenticated with your network. o Check the Auto 3G option if it was checked originally.
