Serial Plug (Gray) Placement of the XyLoc Lock XyLoc uses advanced wireless technology to make PC security more convenient for the user. The proper placement of the XyLoc Lock will ensure that users get the best performance from XyLoc. Ideal placement is with the face of the Key parallel to the LED on the front of the Lock. The best performance of the system will be achieved by trying to maintain this positioning while you are seated at your PC doing your work. The primary factor in deciding where to place the XyLoc Lock is to determine where the user will wear the XyLoc Key the majority of the time. The Key can be clipped to a shirt pocket or belt or worn on a lanyard around the user’s neck.
3 Once you’ve identified where the Key will be worn, place the Lock at the same height as where the Key will be when the user is at the PC. You should also make sure that the path between the Lock and Key is unobstructed (such as obstruction caused by your arm that might occur while using your mouse or keyboard). For example, if the user will wear the Key on the left side of his shirt, use the Velcro strip to secure the Lock to the left side of the user’s monitor at the same height as the Key will be when the user is seated. If the user will wear the Key on the right side of her belt, use the Velcro strip to secure the Lock to the underside of the user’s desk at the same height as the Key will be when the user is seated and keeping the face of the Key pointing at the LED. If the user will wear the Key on the right side of her belt, use the Velcro strip to secure the Lock to the underside of the user’s desk at the same height as the Key will be when the user is seated and keeping the face of the Key pointing at the LED (see Figure 1).

XyLoc Solo Quick Start · Page 6 The KeyCard is powered by single coin cell that lasts approximately twelve to twenty-four months. The KeyCard has two switches on its front panel marked “X” and “O”. The “X” turns the Key ON and “O” manually turns the Key OFF. The Status LED flashes green when the system is turned ON and red when it is turned OFF. The OFF action requires an extend depression of the “O” button to turn the Key OFF. The KeyCard uses sophisticated power management technology and will automatically turn OFF approximately 9 hours after it was first turned ON. You may extend this automatic turn OFF time up to 4 additional hours by pressing the “X” button one time for each additional hour any time after the Key has been turned ON. An upcoming software update will provide the user an advanced screen notification that the Key will shortly active its power saving mode. The Status LED also functions as a battery tester. As long as the LED functions, the KeyCard has sufficient battery power. The XyLoc software will soon incorporate a Battery Life Meter with which the user may check the battery life through the XyLoc configuration software or the XyLoc Security Server (XSS) at any time. The Key must be in the possession of the user at all times. The XyLoc system provides tools to help ensure user compliance. The XyLoc is capable of identifying a Key which has been left unattended and stationary. The administrator can specify a range of actions varying from reporting to automatically securing the workstation should a Key be left unattended. NOTE: To insert the batteries into the KeyCard, place the KeyCard with the XyLoc logo face down, remove the two retaining screws and slide open the lid. Replace the CR 3032 coin cell with the “+” up.
