66LifeBook P Series Notebook/Tablet PCFigure 6-1. Outlet typesKEYBOARDCaring for your KeyboardThe 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 notebook/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. 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.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. 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.BATTERIESCaring for your Batteries■Always handle batteries carefully.■Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.■Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incin-erate the battery.■Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas.■Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.■Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than six months without recharging it.Increasing Battery Life■Keep brightness to the lowest comfortable level.■Set the power management for maximum battery life.■Put your notebook/Tablet PC in Standby mode when it is turned on and you are not actually using it.■Disable the Windows CD auto insert function.■Always use fully charged batteries.OPTIONAL FLOPPY DISK DRIVE AND FLOPPY DISKSCaring 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.■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 metal shutter.Caring for your Optional Floppy Disk Drive■To clean, wipe the floppy disk drive clean with a dry soft cloth, or with a soft cloth dampened with water or a solution of neutral detergent.

The type of authentication must be set to each client and also coincide with the setting of access point with which to communicate. Network authentica-tion is sometimes called authentication mode.Network keyData 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.Network name (SSID: Security Set Identifier)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.NTSCNational TV Standards Commission. The standard for TV broadcast and reception for the USA.Open system authenticationOne of network authentication types for wireless LAN. Since there is no check of network key upon authentica-tion, clients can connect to the access point without submitting correct network keys. However, in case of actual communications, the same network key must be set. Open system authentication is sometimes called Open key authentication.Operating SystemA group of control programs that convert application commands, including driver programs, into the exact form required by a specific brand and model of micro-processor in order to produce the desired results from that particular equipment.PartitionA block of space on a hard drive which is set aside and made to appear to the operating system as if it were a separate disk, and addressed by the operating system accordingly.PCMCIAPCMCIA is a trademark of the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association.

85Wireless LAN User’s Guide FCC REGULATORY INFORMATIONPlease note the following regulatory information related to the wireless LAN device.Regulatory Notes and StatementsWireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use 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:On board an airplane, orIn an explosive environment, orIn situations where the interference risk to other devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful.In cases in which the policy regarding use of Wireless LAN devices in specific environments is not clear (e.g., airports, hospitals, chemical/oil/gas industrial plants, hospitals, private buildings), obtain authorization to use these devices prior to operating the equipment.Regulatory Information/DisclaimersInstallation and use of this Wireless LAN device must be in strict accordance with the instructions included in the user documentation provided with the product. Any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized modification of this device, or the substitution or attachment of connecting cables and equipment other than those specified by the manufacturer. It is the responsibility of the user to correct any interference caused by such unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment. The manufacturer and its autho-rized resellers or distributors will assume no liability for any damage or violation of government regulations arising from failure to comply with these guidelines. This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.Federal Communications Commission statementThis device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules.Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and, (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.FCC Interference StatementThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installa-tion. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-ence will not occur in a particular installation.If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.2. Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.3. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from the one the receiver is connected to.4. Consult the dealer or an experienced technician for help.FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statementThe 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 equip-ment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.The maximum SAR value measured from the devices are:Intel PROSet Wireless LAN(WM3945ABG) : 1.42 W/kgIntel PROSet WirelessLAN(WM3945ABG) + Bluetooth Simultaneous : 1.42 W/kgAtheros Wireless LAN (AR5BXB6) : 1.57 W/kgAtheros Wireless LAN (AR5BXB6 ) + Bluetooth Simultaneous: 1.55 W/kgExport restrictionsThis product or software contains encryption code which may not be exported or transferred from the US or Canada without an approved US Department of Commerce export license. This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules., as well as ICES 003 B / NMB 003 B. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesirable operation. Modifications not expressly authorized by Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation may invalidate the user's right to operate this equipment.Canadian NoticeT Series.book Page 95 Thursday, July 14, 2005 2:24 PMThe device for the band 5150 - 5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.The maximum antenna gain of 6 dBi permitted (for devices in the 5250 - 5350 MHz, 5470 - 5725MHz and 5725 - 5825MHz bands) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limit as stated in A9.2 of RSS210.In addition, users should also be cautioned to take note that high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of 5250 - 5350 MHz and 5650 - 5850 MHz and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.For Wireless LAN operation within 5.15-5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor environment, and the antenna of this devicemust be integral.
86LifeBook T Series Tablet PC - AppendixBefore Using the Wireless LANThis 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.Wireless LAN Devices Covered by this DocumentThis 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:Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network connectionAtheros® AR5006EXS Mini-Card Wireless Characteristics of the WLAN DeviceThe WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the 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). 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.The maximum communication range indoors is approximately 80 feet (25 meters). However, that range will increase or decrease depending on factors such as number of walls, reflective material, or inter-ference from external RF sources.The WLAN device supports the following encryption methods - WEP, TKIP, and AES encryption.WIRELESS LAN MODES USING THIS DEVICEAd Hoc Mode (See Figure A-1)"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). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. That is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers.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. Figure A-1. Ad Hoc Mode NetworkT Series.book Page 96 Thursday, July 14, 2005 2:24 PMcard (WM3945ABG)(AR5BXB6)network
87Wireless LAN User’s Guide Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode (See Figure A-2)Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network archi-tecture in which devices communicate with wireless or wired network devices by communicating through an Access Point. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or can communicate with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to access computers, devices, and services such as file servers, printers, and databases.How to Handle This DeviceThe 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 Operating System that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device. WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS■The WLAN devices support IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g.■The WLAN devices operate in the 2.4GHz ISM band and the 5 GHz lower, middle, and upper UNII bands.■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.■Microwave ovens will interfere with the operation of WLAN device as microwave ovens operate in the same 2.4GHz frequency range that IEEE 802.11b/g devices operate in. Interference by microwaves does not occur with IEEE 802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band.■Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4GHz fre-quency range may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices in IEEE 802.11b/g modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermit-tent disconnects, and large amounts of frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure the proper operation of the WLAN device.DEACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICEDeactivation 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:■Using the Wireless On/Off Switch■In Windows, using the Intel PROSet Software or Atheros Client Utility software.Figure A-2.

95Wireless LAN User’s Guide Troubleshooting the WLANTROUBLESHOOTINGCauses and countermeasures for troubles you may encounter while using your wireless LAN are described in the following table. Problem Possible Cause Possible SolutionUnavailable network connectionIncorrect network name (SSID) or network keyAd hoc connection: verify that the network names (SSID’s) and network keys (WEP) of all computers to be connected have been configured correctly. SSID’s and WEP key values must be identical on each machine.Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: set the network name (SSID) and network key to the same values as those of the access point. Set the Network Authentication value identically to that of the Access Point. Please consult your network administrator for this value, if necessary. Weak received signal strength and/or link qualityAd hoc connection: Retry connection after shortening the distance to the destination computer or removing any obstacles for better sight.Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: Retry connection after short-ening the distance to the access point or removing any obstacles for better sight.To check the wave condition, refer to the following page:· “Confirming the status of the radio waves” on page 93.The WLAN device has been deactivated or disabledCheck if the wireless switch is turned ON. Also verify “Disable Radio” is not checked in “Network setting” window. Refer to “Activating the Wireless LAN” on page 88.The computer to be connected is turned offCheck if the computer to be connected is turned ON.RF interference from Access Points or other wireless networksThe use of identical or overlapping RF channels can cause interference with the operation of the WLAN device. Change the channel of your Access Point to a channel that does not overlap with the interfering device.Wireless network authentication has failedRe-check your Network Authentication, Encryption, and Security settings. Incorrectly configured security settings such as an incorrectly typed WEP key, a misconfigured LEAP username, or an incorrectly chosen authentication method will cause the LAN device to associate but not authenticate to the wireless network.Incorrectly configured network settingsRecheck the configuration of your network settings.For the method of checking, refer to the following page:·“Connection to the Network” on page 91.Incorrect IP address configurationThis only applies to networks using static IP addresses.

96LifeBook P Series Notebook/Tablet PCWireless LAN GlossaryGLOSSARYAccess pointWireless network device used to bridge wireless and wired network traffic. Ad Hoc ModeAd 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 86.CCX (Cisco Compatible Extensions)Implementation that provides improved wireless data security, ensuring certified compatibility with Cisco wireless access points.ChannelRange of narrow-band frequencies used by the WLAN device to transmit data. IEEE 802.11b/g - 11 channels, 22 MHz wide channels.DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate IP addresses to computers on a local area network.DNS (Domain Name System)A data query service that provides a mechanism with which to translate host names into Internet addresses.EAPExtensible Authentication ProtocolA protocol implementation that provides a framework to allow easier user authentication.IEEE 802.11aWireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data rate of 54 Mbps. 802.11a devices operate in the 5 GHz lower and middle UNII bands. IEEE 802.11bWireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data rate of 11 Mbps. 802.11b devices operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. IP addressThe 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.LAN (Local Area Network)A LAN or Local Area Network is a computer network (or data communications network) which is confined to a limited geographical area.MAC address (Media Access Control Address)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.MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)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.Network keyData 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.Network name (SSID: Security Set Identifier)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.Open system authenticationNull authentication method specified in the 802.11 stan-dard that performs no authentication checks on a wire-less client before allowing it to associate.P Series.book Page 96 Tuesday, February 21, 2006 1:44 PM
97Wireless LAN User’s Guide PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol)An improvement over EAP, making authentication much easier to achieve.PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)A method of allowing the authentication protocol adopted in telephone line connection (PPP) to be used over an Ethernet.ProtocolA 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.Shared key authentication802.11 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 maskTCP-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. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)Security feature that is a WEP enhancement to defend against known wireless data security issues.WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)Standard wireless security provided by the Wi-Fi stan-dard, used for protecting wireless data.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 offi-cial Wi-Fi logo, which indicates that the product is interoperable with any other product also showing that logo.WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)Strong replacement for WEP, providing improved data encryption and user authentication.P Series.book Page 97 Tuesday, February 21, 2006 1:44 PM

103FIngerprint Sensor User’s Guide Fingerprint Sensor DeviceINTRODUCING THE FINGERPRINT SENSOR DEVICEYour system has a fingerprint sensor device in the loca-tion shown in the figure below. Figure B-1 Fingerprint sensorWith a fingerprint sensor, you can avoid having to enter a username and password every time you want to:■Log onto Windows■Recover from suspend mode■Cancel a password-protected screen saver■Log into homepages that require a username and pass-wordAfter you have “enrolled” - or registered - your finger-print, you can simply swipe your fingertip over the sensor for the system recognize you. 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. 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.OmniPass presents a convenient graphical user interface, through which you can securely manage passwords, users, and multiple identities for each user.GETTING STARTEDThis 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. INSTALLING OMNIPASSIf OmniPass has already been installed on your system, skip this section and go directly to “User Enrollment” on page 104. You can determine whether OmniPass has already been installed by checking to see if the following are present:■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 menuSystem RequirementsThe OmniPass application requires space on your hard drive; it also requires specific Operating Systems (SO’s). The minimum requirements are as follows:■Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Profes-sional or Windows 2000 operating system■At least 35 MB available hard disk spaceInstalling the OmniPass ApplicationIf OmniPass is already installed on your system, go to “User Enrollment” on page 104. Otherwise continue with this section on software installation.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.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:\). 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.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. For installation, OmniPass requires that the user installing OmniPass have administrative privileges to the system. If your current user does not have administrative privileges, log out and then log in with an administrator user before proceeding with OmniPass installation.P Series.book Page 103 Tuesday, February 21, 2006 1:44 PM
104LifeBook P Series Notebook/Tablet PCVerifying Information about OmniPassAfter you have completed installing OmniPass and restarted your system, you may wish to check the version of OmniPass on your system.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,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,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 OmniPassTo 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.3. Select OmniPass, and then click Change/Remove.4. Follow the directions to uninstall the OmniPass application.5. Once OmniPass has finished uninstalling, reboot your system when prompted.USER ENROLLMENTBefore you can use any OmniPass features you must first enroll a user into OmniPass.Master Password ConceptComputer 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 to gain access. This can result in dozens of sets of creden-tials that you have to remember.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. 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 “tablet”), 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. 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 “tablet”) to gain access. If he attempts his OmniPass user credentials on a system other than where he enrolled that OmniPass user, he will not gain access.Basic EnrollmentThe 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.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.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 For uninstallation, OmniPass requires that the user uninstalling OmniPass have administrative privileges to the system. If your current user does not have administrative privileges, log out and then log in with an administrator user before proceeding with OmniPass uninstallation.The basic 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 after reviewing this section.P Series.book Page 104 Tuesday, February 21, 2006 1:44 PM

Click [Next] to continue.3. In this step OmniPass captures your fingerprint. Refer to “Enrolling a Fingerprint” on page 105 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.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 FingerprintEnrolling a fingerprint will increase the security of your system and streamline the authentication procedure. 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.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].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. Your system has a “swipe” fingerprint sensor. A swipe sensor is small and resembles a skinny elon-gated 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 fingerprint. When you are comfortable with how your fingerprint is captured, proceed to enroll a finger.3. Once OmniPass has successfully acquired the finger-print, the Ver i f y F ing erpr i n t screen will automati-cally appear. To verify your enrolled fingerprint, place your fingertip on the sensor and hold it there as if you were having a fingerprint captured. Successful fingerprint verification will show a green fingerprint in the capture window and the text Ve r i-fication Successful under the capture window.USING OMNIPASSYou are now ready to begin using OmniPass. Used regularly, OmniPass will streamline your authentication procedures.Password ReplacementYou 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.OmniPass Authentication ToolbarAfter 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.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.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).Remembering a PasswordOmniPass 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.P Series.book Page 105 Tuesday, February 21, 2006 1:44 PM
106LifeBook P Series Notebook/Tablet PCGo 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.Associating a Friendly NameAfter 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.Additional Settings for Remembering a SiteWhen 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.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 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. 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 SiteWhether 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. The following cases are applicable to using OmniPass to login to: Windows, remembered websites, and all other password protected resources.With Master PasswordOnce 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.Logging into Windows with a Fingerprint DeviceWhen 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.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.Password ManagementOmniPass provides an interface that lets you manage your passwords. To access this GUI, double-click the OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vau lt 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.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.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.P Series.book Page 106 Tuesday, February 21, 2006 1:44 PM

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.The two check boxes in Manage Passwords govern whether OmniPass prompts you to authenticate or directly logs you into the remembered site.OmniPass will overwrite an old set of credentials for a website if you attempt to use Remember Password on an already remembered site. 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.OmniPass User IdentitiesIdentities allow OmniPass users to have multiple accounts to the same site (e.g., bob@biblomail.com and boballen@biblomail.com). If OmniPass did not provide you identities, you would be limited to remembering one account per site.To create and manage identities, double-click the OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vault Ma nage -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 userTo 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.To delete an identity, highlight the identity you want to delete and click [Delete Identity], then click [Apply].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”.Choosing User Identity during LoginTo 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 IdentityTo 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.Identities and Password ManagementOn the Manage Passwords interface of the Va u l t 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 106.CONFIGURING OMNIPASSThis section gives an overview of both the Export/Import function and the OmniPass Control Center. Exporting and Importing UsersUsing 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. When you delete an identity, all of its associated remembered sites and password protected dialogs are lost.■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.■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.P Series.book Page 107 Tuesday, February 21, 2006 1:44 PM
108LifeBook P Series Notebook/Tablet PCExporting an OmniPass User ProfileTo export a user, open the OmniPass Control Center, and click Import/Export User under Manage Users. 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.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.Importing an OmniPass User ProfileTo import an OmniPass user open the OmniPass Control Center, and click Import/Export User under 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.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 OmniPass. You want to import that profile to another 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.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.■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. ■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 CENTERThis section will serve to explain functions within the OmniPass Control Center that weren’t explained earlier. You can access the OmniPass Control Center any of three ways:■Double-click the golden OmniPass key shaped icon in the Windows taskbar (typically in the lower-right cor-ner of the desktop)■Click the Start button; select the Programs group; select the Softex program group; and click the OmniPass Control Center selection.■Open the Windows Control Panel (accessible via Start button --> Settings --> Control Panel) and double-click the Softex OmniPass icon.User ManagementThe 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 107. 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 104. 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.User SettingsThe User Settings tab has four interfaces: Audio Settings, Tas kb ar Tip s, and Enrollment. User settings allow users to customize OmniPass to suit individual preferences. Under User Settings (Audio Settings and Tas kbar Tips ) You cannot import a user into OmniPass if there already is a user with the same name enrolled in OmniPass. Removing a user will automatically destroy all OmniPass data associated with that user. All identities and credentials associated with the user will be lost.If you are sure about removing the user, we recommend you export the user profile.P Series.book Page 108 Tuesday, February 21, 2006 1:44 PM
109FIngerprint Sensor User’s Guide 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 Tas kb ar Tip s interfaces are self-explanatory.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.System SettingsThe 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.The first option, Automatically log on to OmniPass as the current user, will do just as it says; during Windows login, you will be logged on to OmniPass using your 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.With the second option, Manually log on to OmniPass at startup, OmniPass will prompt you to login once you have logged on to Windows.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.TROUBLESHOOTINGYou 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 passwordCannot add Windows users to OmniPassIf 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.Cannot add a User with a Blank Password to OmniPassIf 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.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.Dialog appears after OmniPass authentication during Windows LogonAfter 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.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 disabledIf 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.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.P Series.book Page 109 Tuesday, February 21, 2006 1:44 PM
