32LifeBook E8000 NotebookPower ManagementYour Fujitsu LifeBook notebook 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 notebook 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 battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your notebook 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 perfor-mance and power savings.POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTONWhen your notebook is active, the Power/Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put the note-book into Standby mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume button when the notebook is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. You will hear two short beeps and the system will enter Standby mode. If your notebook is suspended, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button returns your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether the system is suspended by looking at the Power indicator. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully opera-tional. If the indicator is visible and flashing, your note-book is in Standby mode. If the indicator is not visible, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernation mode. (See Hibernation Feature)STANDBY MODEStandby (or Suspend) mode in Windows saves the contents of your system memory during periods of inac-tivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode turns off the CPU, display, hard drive, and all other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and for restarting. ■Your notebook can be put in Standby mode by:■Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on.■Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu.■Timing out from lack of activity.■Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warn-ing condition.Your notebook’s system memory typically stores the file on which you are working, open application informa-tion, and any other data required to support operations in progress. When you resume operation from Standby mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your notebook will not resume.HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) FEATUREThe Hibernation feature saves your system’s memory contents to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature. ■If you are running your notebook on battery power, be aware that the battery continues to discharge while your note-book is in Suspend mode, though not as fast as when fully operational. ■Disabling the Power/Suspend/Resume button prevents it from being used to put the notebook into Standby or Hiber-nation (Save-to-Disk) mode. The button resume function cannot be disabled.■The Standby or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode should not be used with cer-tain PC Cards. Check your PC Card doc-umentation for more information. When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspen-sion, because all of the peripheral devices will be re-initialized when the system restarts.■If your notebook is actively accessing information when you enter the Standby or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) 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 the internal hard drive during Hibernation mode.The main advantage of using Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) is that power is not required to maintain your data. This is particularly important if you will be leaving your notebook in a suspended state for a prolonged period of time. The drawback of using Hibernation mode is that it lengthens the power down and power up sequences and resets peripheral devices.Eagle E8310.book  Page 32  Tuesday, May 8, 2007  11:40 AM
33Getting StartedEnable or Disable the Hibernation FeatureWindows Vista: The default settings are not enabled. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these steps:1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then select Power Options.2. Select “Choose what the power button does” or “Choose what closing the lid does”, then make your selections (Do Nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut Down).Windows XP:The default settings are not enabled. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these steps:1. From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select Control Panel.2. From the Control Panel select Power Options.3. Select the Hibernate tab. Select the box to enable or disable this feature.WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT The Power Options icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Options to set timeout values to turn off the display and hard disks whether you are running the notebook on battery power or on an adapter. RESTARTING THE SYSTEMIf your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure. Windows Vista:1. Click the Start button, and then move the mouse over the right arrow.2. Select Restart from the list.Windows XP: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 to restart your notebook. Your notebook will shut down and then reboot.POWERING OFFBefore turning off the power, check that the hard drive/optical drive access indicator is off. If you turn off the power while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your notebook shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down procedure. Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:1. Click the [Start] button, and then click [Shut Down].2. Select the Shut Down option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box. (In Vista, select the small arrow at the bottom right of the menu, then select Shut Down.)3. Click [OK] to shut down your notebook.If you are going to store your notebook for a month or more see Care and Maintenance Section. Turning off your notebook without exiting Windows, or turning it on within 10 seconds of being shut off may cause an error when you start the next time. Be sure to close all files, exit all applica-tions, and shut down your operating system prior to turning off the power. If files are open when you turn the power off, you will lose any changes that have not been saved, and may cause disk errors.Eagle E8310.book  Page 33  Tuesday, May 8, 2007  11:40 AM

37User Installable FeaturesLithium ion BatteryYour LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating your notebook when no external power source is available. The battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or other hazards.The Lithium ion battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:■When used at temperatures that exceeds a low of 5°C or a high of 35°C. Extreme temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status Indi-cator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range. (See Battery Charging Indicators on page 13 for more information)■When using a high current device such as a modem, Multi-Format DVD Writer, CD-ROM drive, DVD/CD-RW combo drive, or the hard drive, using the AC adapter will conserve your battery life.RECHARGING THE BATTERIESIf you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.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 LifeBook notebook and connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.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 significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your notebook into Suspend mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management on page 32 for more information on Standby mode and shutdown procedure)Low Battery StateWhen the battery is running low, a low battery notifica-tion message will appear. If you do not respond to the low battery message, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. When this happens, your notebook will go into Standby mode. There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once the notebook reaches this point.Do not leave a faulty battery in your LifeBook notebook. It may damage your AC adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter, another battery or your notebook itself. It may also prevent operation of your notebook by draining all available current into the bad battery.■Actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, features, power management settings, battery condition and other customer preferences. CD-ROM drive, Multi-Format DVD Writer, DVD/CD-RW drive combo, 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.■Under federal, state, or local law it may be illegal to dispose of batteries by put-ting them in the trash. Please take care of our environment and dispose of bat-teries properly. Check with your local government authority for details regard-ing recycling or disposing of old batter-ies. If you cannot find this information elsewhere, contact your support repre-sentative at 1-800-8FUJITSU (1-800-838-5487)Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator and the percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon on the Status Indicator Panel.Using heavy current devices such as the modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM accesses may prevent charging completely.■Once the low battery notification mes-sage appears, you need to save all your active data and put your LifeBook note-book into Standby mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide a charged battery, an AC power adapter, or Auto/Airline adapter as soon as possible.■ When you are in Standby mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you remove all power sources while your LifeBook notebook is in Standby mode, any data that has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost.Eagle E8310.book  Page 37  Tuesday, May 8, 2007  11:40 AM
38LifeBook E8000 NotebookDead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-cator just like the normal Standby mode. Once your notebook 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 Power/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 notebook while an adapter is charging the battery.Shorted BatteriesThe Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display the operating level available in that battery. If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it means the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage other parts of your LifeBook notebook.REPLACING THE BATTERY With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not charged. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-swapping and hot-swapping:Cold-swapping BatteriesTo cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1)1. Have a charged battery ready to install.2. Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC adapter. 3. While pushing the battery lock away from the battery pack, slide the battery release button towards the battery lock. While holding the battery lock button, lift the battery out of the bay using the orange notch next to the battery release button.4. Insert a new battery into the bay, and press it down so that the latches click into place. 5. Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on. Hot-swapping BatteriesTo hot-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1)1. Plug an AC Adapter into the system and connect it to a power outlet.Figure 4-1.  Removing a Battery2. Follow steps 3 through 6 in “Cold Swapping Batteries”. Be sure to plug in an AC Adapter prior to removing the battery. There is no bridge battery present to support the system while the battery is being replaced. If you do not use an AC Adapter you will lose any unsaved files.If the Lithium ion battery connector is not fully seated, you may not be able to use your notebook or charge your battery.123Battery Pack Battery ReleaseButtonBattery LockEagle E8310.book  Page 38  Tuesday, May 8, 2007  11:40 AM

65Care and MaintenanceCare and MaintenanceIf you use your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook carefully, you will increase its life and reliability. This section provides some tips for looking after the notebook and its devices.Caring for your LifeBook notebook■Your LifeBook notebook is a durable but sensitive elec-tronic device. Treat it with respect and care.■Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable carrying case.■Do not attempt to service the computer yourself.■ Always follow installation instructions closely.■Keep it away from food and beverages.■To protect your notebook from damage and to opti-mize system performance, be sure to keep all air all vents unobstructed, clean, and clear of debris. This may require periodic cleaning, depending upon the environment in which the system is used. ■Do not operate the notebook in areas where the air vents can be obstructed, such as in tight enclosures or on soft surfaces like a bed or cushion.■If you accidentally spill liquid on your LifeBook note-book:1. Turn it off.2. Position it so that the liquid can run out.3. Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed.4. If your notebook will not boot after it has dried out, call your support representative.■Do not use your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook in a wet environment (near a bathtub, swimming pool).■Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for your notebook.■Avoid exposure to sand, dust and otherenvironmental hazards.■Do not expose your notebook to direct sunlight for long periods of time as temperatures above 140° F (60° C) may damage your notebook.■Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots when they are not in use.■Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer.■If you are carrying your LifeBook notebook in a brief-case, or any other carrying case, make sure that there are no objects in the case pressing on the lid.■Never position your notebook such that the optical drive is supporting the weight of the notebook. ■Do not drop your notebook.■Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects. Cleaning your LifeBook notebook■Always disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not the cord.)■Clean your LifeBook notebook with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents.■Use a soft cloth to remove dust from the screen.Never use glass cleaners.Storing your LifeBook notebook■If storing your notebook for a month or longer, turn your LifeBook notebook off, fully charge the battery(s), then remove and store all Lithium ion batteries.■Store your notebook and batteries separately. If you store your LifeBook with a battery installed, the battery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In addi-tion, a faulty battery might damage your LifeBook.■The system contains components that can be severely damaged by electro-static discharge (ESD). To minimize risk to the components, observe the following precautions:■Before docking or undocking your LifeBook notebook (when using a port replicator), it is a good practice to always touch a grounded metal object to discharge static electricity built up in your body. ■Be sure to power down your system before adding or removing system components. Even if the system is in hibernate or standby states, data could be lost or memory could be damaged if power is still available to the system.■When installing or removing a memory module, hold it by the edge so as not to touch any contacts or chips. Be careful not to touch any internal computer terminals or compo-nents; the oil from your fingers could cause a short to the components. ■Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Operations of this product or similar products, must always be super-vised by an adult. Do not allow children access to the interior of any electrical products and do not permit them to handle any cables.Eagle E8310.book  Page 65  Tuesday, May 8, 2007  11:40 AM

This type of communication uses an access point.Another type of communication is called AdHoc.IP AddressAn identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address. Within an isolated network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates. The four numbers in an IP address are used in different ways to identify a particular network and a host on that network. Three regional Internet registries -- ARIN, RIPE NCC and APNIC -- assign Internet addresses from the following three classes. Class A - supports 16 million hosts on each of 126 networks Class B - supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks Class C - supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks The number of unassigned Internet addresses is running out, so a new classless scheme called CIDR is gradually replacing the system based on classes A, B, and C and is tied to adoption of IPv6.

88LifeBook E Series Notebook - Appendix ABefore Using the Wireless LANThis manual describes the procedures required to prop-erly set up 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 Device 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 (WM3945ABG) Network Connection (802.11a+b/g) ■Atheros® AR5006EXS (AR5BXB6) Mini-Card Wireless network card (802.11a+b/g) 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, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band and in the lower and middle bands of the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information 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 Elec-trical Engineers). ■Encoding of data is modulated using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Comple-mentary Code Keying (CCK) when the WLAN device is operating in IEEE 802.11b mode and Orthogonal Frequency Division 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 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 connec-tivity 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. Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode (See Figure A-2) Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network architecture in which devices communicate with wireless or wired network devices by communi-cating through an Access Point. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the WLAN in order to access services, devices, and computers (e.g., file servers, printers, databases).Figure A-1.

89WIreless LAN User’s Guide How to Handle This DeviceThe WLAN device is an optional device that may come 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 IEEE802.11a+b/g.■The devices operate in the 2.4GHz ISM band the 5 GHz lower and middle UNII bands.■The maximum range of the WLAN device indoors is typically 80 feet (25 meters). Please note that the maximum 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 IEEE802.11b/g devices operate in. Interference by microwaves does not occur with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band.■Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4 GHz frequency range may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g modes. Inter-ference 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.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, or,■In Windows XP, using the Intel PROSet Software or Atheros Client Utility software.Deactivation using the Wireless On/Off SwitchThe 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.Figure A-3.

97WIreless 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 (See Configuring the WLAN Using Windows XP on page 91 for more information). 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 96.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.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 mis-configured 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 94.Incorrect IP address configurationThis only applies to networks using static IP addresses.

103Using the Fingerprint SensorFingerprint Sensor DeviceINTRODUCING THE FINGERPRINT SENSOR DEVICEYour system has an optional fingerprint sensor device below the Touchpad, between the left and right buttons. This also serves as a scroll button. (Figure 1) Figure A-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 Standby 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. The use of OmniPass results in a secure authentication system for restricting access to your computer, applica-tions, 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 (OS’s). The minimum requirements are as follows:■Windows XP Professional 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. (If you have run the ClickMe! utility, it is likely that OmniPass has already been installed on your system.) 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. Although the system may have a fingerprint sensor in place of a scroll button, the fingerprint sensor can be used for scrolling. Simply move your fingerprint over the sensor the same as you would use a scroll button. 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.Eagle E8310.book  Page 103  Tuesday, May 8, 2007  11:40 AM
104LifeBook E8000 Notebook – Appendix BVerifying 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 “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. 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 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.Before you uninstall the software, decrypt all OmniPass encrypted files and export all OmniPass User Profiles. Failure to do so may result in permanent loss of encrypted file data, and permanent loss of all remembered passwords and associated information (see Chapter 5 of the OmniPass help document:: Exporting and Importing Users).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 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.Eagle E8310.book  Page 104  Tuesday, May 8, 2007  11:40 AM
105Using the Fingerprint Sensor1. 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 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. 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  Fi n ge r p r i nt  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 Ver i -fication Successful under the capture window.USING OMNIPASSYou are now ready to begin using OmniPass. Used regu-larly, OmniPass will streamline your authentications.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).Eagle E8310.book  Page 105  Tuesday, May 8, 2007  11:40 AM
106LifeBook E8000 Notebook – Appendix BRemembering 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.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.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.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.Eagle E8310.book  Page 106  Tuesday, May 8, 2007  11:40 AM
107Using the Fingerprint SensorPassword 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  Ma nage -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.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.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 Vau lt  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 107.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.Eagle E8310.book  Page 107  Tuesday, May 8, 2007  11:40 AM
108LifeBook E8000 Notebook – Appendix BExporting 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 system tray (typically in the lower-right corner 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.■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.You cannot import a user into OmniPass if there already is a user with the same name enrolled in OmniPass.

109Using the Fingerprint SensorUser 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 their individual prefer-ences. Under User Settings (Audio Settings and Ta s k b a r  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 Task ba r Ti ps interfaces are self-explana-tory.The Enrollment interface allows you to enroll finger-prints. To enroll additional fingerprints, click Enroll Authentication Device, and authenticate 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 system tray 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 if your Windows password has changed or 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.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.Eagle E8310.book  Page 109  Tuesday, May 8, 2007  11:40 AM
