![14Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC User’s Guide – Section OneSECURITY FUNCTIONS OF APPLICATION BUTTONSFive buttons are used when implementing security functions. Four of the buttons are used to enter the password, and the fifth is used as an Enter button. Instructions for using the security feature follow the table.Table 1-6. Security Functions of Application ButtonsSETTING UP THE SECURITY PANELWhen you receive your Tablet PC, the security panel application is pre-installed without any passwords. The following sections provide detailed information on your security panel, how to set, change or remove passwords.Numbered ButtonsUse these buttons to enter your password.(Figure 1-6)Enter ButtonAfter entering the button strokes, push this button to enter the password into the Tablet PC. (Figure 1-6)PASSWORDSThe user and supervisor password may be set on this Tablet PC. A supervisor password is typically the same for all Tablet PC’s and notebooks in a work group, office, or company to allow for system management. Individual computers in a group environment should not use a common password. A password consists of one to five button strokes plus the enter button. A valid stroke consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simulta-neously. The following are valid button strokes: ■Pushing [4] by itself■Pushing [2] and [3] at the same time■Pushing [1], [2], and [4] at the same time■Pushing [1], [2], [3], and [4] at the same timeThe following are valid passwords. The numbers within braces ({ }) are button strokes using more than one button. ■{[2]+[3]}, [1], [Enter]■[4], [enter]■{[1]+[3]}, {[2]+[3]+[4]}, [1], [4], [2], [Enter]Setting PasswordsWhen shipped from the factory, no passwords are set. You have a choice of having no password or setting a supervisor and user password. You must set the super-visor password before the user password.

The supervisor password alone will not lock the system.■You must set the supervisor and user passwords for the security panel to work.Ocampa_UG_Active B.book Page 14 Monday, September 29, 2003 5:04 PM](https://usermanual.wiki/Fujitsu-Client-Computing/WL0004.User-Manual/User-Guide-382909-Page-25.png)
![15Getting StartedSetting Supervisor PasswordYou must have set a supervisor password before setting any user passwords. The supervisor password can bypass the user password.1. Go to the Start menu.2. Click on Run.3. Type in:C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\Security Panel Application\Supervisor\ FJSECS.EXE, then press [Enter]4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set theSupervisor password.Setting User Password1 Go to the Start menu.2. Click on All Programs.3. Click on Security Panel Application -> Security Panel Application.4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set theuser password.USING YOUR SECURITY PANELThe security lock feature is in effect both when the system resumes from Off, Standby, or Hibernation state. You always need to push the Security Panel buttons to input the user password. Your system will not begin the boot sequence until you enter your supervisor/user password.From Off State1. Turn on your system.2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the pass-word and press Enter button.For example, if the password is 22222, first press Button 2 five times and press the Enter button. The Tablet PC will boot to normal operation.From Standby/Hibernation State1. Press your Suspend/Resume button.2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the pass-word and press Enter button.The Tablet PC should resume normal operation.Incorrect Password EntryIf an invalid supervisor or user password is entered three times in succession, the system will “beep” for about one minute. If a valid password is entered within a minute (while system beeps), the beeping will stop and the Tablet PC will resume normal operation. If no password is entered or an invalid password is entered while the system beeps, the system will return to its previous locked state (standby or off) and the Security Indicator will go off. To reactivate the Tablet PC after a password failure, you must press the Suspend/Resume button, then enter a correct password.PRECAUTIONSOpening and Closing the CoverBy default, closing the cover automatically places your system into Standby mode. (You can change the action the system takes when the cover is closed by opening the Power Options Properties icon in the Control Panel, and selecting the Advanced tab. Make a choice from the drop down menu for “When I close the lid of my portable computer:” and click the [OK] button.) Opening the cover does not automatically place the Tablet PC into normal operation. Instead, you must enter the proper security password after pushing the Suspend/Resume button.Low Battery OperationsIf your Tablet PC has a low battery, pushing the suspend/resume button only turns on the Security Indicator. Your Tablet PC does not unlock, the Security Indicator turns off after one minute. To resume normal operation, first attach a power supply to the Tablet PC. Then you may unlock the Tablet PC.UNINSTALLING THE SECURITY PANEL APPLICATIONYou have two options when uninstalling the securitypanel application:■Remove passwords and uninstall the security panel application software. This will disable all security features.■Uninstall the security panel application with password still active. This will not allow any changes to the password. Uninstalling the Security Panel Application SoftwareRemove passwords when User wants no password protec-tion whatsoever and doesn’t want to give anybody the utility to set a password on their computer. In this case, if passwords (supervisor, user, or both) are set, the pass-words must first be cleared BEFORE removing the appli-You may change or remove the supervisor or user password by repeating the steps defined above.Remember the user password you specified on the Security Panel Application. If you forget the password you will not be able to use your computer. The supervisor pass-word can override the user password.Ocampa_UG_Active B.book Page 15 Monday, September 29, 2003 5:04 PM](https://usermanual.wiki/Fujitsu-Client-Computing/WL0004.User-Manual/User-Guide-382909-Page-26.png)
![27Using Your Stylistic ST5000TIPS FOR CONSERVING BATTERY POWERYou can extend the charge life of your battery by conserving battery power. (Your results may vary depending on your application and how the system is configured.) Here are some suggestions to help you conserve battery power:• Use an external power source such as the AC adapter whenever the system is docked. • Suspend system operation if you know that you won’t be using the system for a while. • Shut down the system if you won’t be using the system for an extended period of time. • Use power management (available on the desktop) to help you conserve power automatically. • Battery life is dependent upon the operating system, power settings, and applications in use.Operation of the Bridge Battery When installed in the Tablet PC, the battery provides power to some system components—even when the system is in the Off state. When the battery is removed, power is supplied to these components by a “bridge” battery that is built into the Tablet PC.The bridge battery is not designed for long-term opera-tion. To maintain the bridge battery properly, observe the following measures:• To prevent draining the bridge battery, always store the system with a charged battery installed. • If the bridge battery becomes drained, it takes approximately 8 hours for it to be fully recharged.• The bridge battery charges when the AC Adapter is connected and the system is in On or Off states or Suspend mode. It charges from the battery only when the system is in the On state.MODEM CONNECTION The Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC is designed to accept a standard RJ-11 telephone plug. Connect the plug to the modem jack located on the left-hand side of the Tablet PC (See Figure 1-4 on page 5 for location). The tele-phone plug can be installed whether or not the Tablet PC has power applied.If you need assistance configuring the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC modem or LAN, contact your local help desk or reseller.PC CARD SLOTThe Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC Card slot allows you to install a Type I or Type II PCMCIA Card. Installing a PC CardTo install a PC card, position the side with the arrow facing up (i.e., when looking at the tablet’s display side, the arrow on the card should be visible.) Slide the card into the PC Card slot, and press it firmly to ensure proper seating. (See Figure 2-5 for location)If you need assistance installing a PC Card in the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC, contact your corporate help desk or reseller.Figure 2-5. Installing a PC CardRemoving a PC CardTo remove a PC Card, first click the Safely Remove Hard-ware icon in the system tray in the bottom right-hand corner of the display. Select PC Card from the list, and click [Stop]. Press the PC Card eject button so that it pops out. Once the button has popped out, press it firmly to eject the card. (See Figure 2-6 for location)• The bridge battery function is disabled if Wake On LAN is enabled in the BIOS.• The system arrives with the bridge battery in a discharged state. Be sure to charge it sufficiently before relying upon it to support the system in the event of battery removal. The internal 56 Kbps LAN/modem module installed in the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC has actual maximum transfer rates of 53 Kbps (receive), 33.6 Kbps (send), and 14.4 Kbps (fax). Download rates are limited to 53 Kbps in the United States due to FCC restrictions.Ocampa_UG_Active B.book Page 27 Monday, September 29, 2003 5:04 PM](https://usermanual.wiki/Fujitsu-Client-Computing/WL0004.User-Manual/User-Guide-382909-Page-38.png)
![34Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC User’s Guide – Section ThreeCreating a Backup ImageYou can create a system backup image of your C:\ drive at any time. The C:\ partition must be a FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition, and it must be directly before the backup partition on your hard disk.There are two ways to implement the DISE utility: when booting up the system, or from the desktop. Creating a backup image when booting upBefore creating an image at boot-up, you must first change the boot-up priority in the BIOS so that the system will go to the media drive first, rather than trying to boot-up from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive.To change the boot-up priority:1. Start your system and press the [F2] key when the Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup Utility.2. Using the arrow keys, go to the Boot menu.3. Arrow down to the Boot Device Priority submenu and press [Enter].4. Arrow down to the CD-ROM drive in the list, and press the space bar (or the + key) to move the CD-ROM drive to the top of the list. (The system attempts to boot from the devices in the order in which they are listed.)5. Press [F10], then click on [Yes] to exit the BIOS Setup Utility and return to the boot process.After you have changed the boot priority, you can create a backup image when you are booting up:1. Install the DAR CD in the drive prior to booting up. When bootup begins, a message appears informing you that if you proceed, you will be able to: ■Create a new backup of drive C■Restore a previous backup, or,■Restore the original factory image. Note that creating a new backup will overwrite any previous backups, and restoring a backup or factory image will overwrite all information on the hard drive, including saved files. 2. After you click [Y]es. You will be presented with two options: [Create New Backup] and [Restore Backup].After you click [Create New Backup], follow the on-screen instructions. By selecting [Create New Backup], a new image will be written to your backup partition. This will overwrite any previously created image. Creating a backup image from the desktopTo create a backup image from the desktop, select Drive Image SE from the Program list. You will initially be prompted to create a backup diskette. It is not necessary to create the backup diskette, since the DAR CD performs the same function.1. At the Drive Image Special Edition main screen, click Options> Create New Backup. DISE displays a warning that it must go to DOS to create the image.2. Click Yes.DISE creates an image file in the backup partition. If you created a backup image previously, the new image overwrites the old one.Enlarging the Backup PartitionIf there is not enough unused space in the backup parti-tion on your hard disk, DISE will resize the partition. DISE will display the minimum, maximum, and recom-mended sizes for the backup partition. You choose the size you want.DISE takes the space from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition that you are backing up. If there is not enough unused space in that partition to take, you will not be able to resize the backup partition and create an image file. You can delete files from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition to create more unused space on the hard disk.Restoring a Backup ImageYou can restore either a factory image or a backup image you created. Be aware that restoring a backup image will replace the contents of the C:\ partition with the image you restore.1. Disable virus protection software. If virus protection software is enabled, DISE will lock up.2. From the DISE main window, click Options > Restore Backup to restore an image you created, or click Options > Restore Factory Backup to restore the factory image.DISE shuts down to DOS and restores the image file.Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications The Drivers and Application CD can be used to selec-tively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have been un-installed or corrupted. To re-install drivers and/or applications:1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR CD after Windows has started. A Fujitsu Welcome screen is displayed after the CD is inserted.Using the DISE feature will reduce the amount of usable disk space on your hard disk drive.Ocampa_UG_Active B.book Page 34 Monday, September 29, 2003 5:04 PM](https://usermanual.wiki/Fujitsu-Client-Computing/WL0004.User-Manual/User-Guide-382909-Page-45.png)
![35Care and Maintenance2. From the left frame of the Welcome screen, “System Components” and “3rd Party Applications” can be selected.

![50Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC User’s Guide – AppendixBefore Using the Wireless LAN The Integrated Wireless LAN is a standard device on Stylistic ST5000 Tablet PC’s, and an option on Stylistic ST5000D Tablet PC’s. This manual describes the basic operating procedures for the Wireless LAN (referred to as the “device” in this manual) and how to set up a wire-less LAN network. Before using this device, read this manual carefully to ensure correct operation of the device. Keep this manual in a safe place for reference while using the device.Types of Wireless LANs 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 PROSet Wireless LAN■Atheros Wireless LANTo determine which device is present in your system, click [Start] -> Control Panel. If there is an icon named “Intel PROSet”, you have the Intel device; if there is an icon named “Atheros Client Utility”, you have the Atheros device. Characteristics of the DeviceThis device consists of a wireless LAN card that is attached inside the computer via a mini-PCI slot.The main characteristics are as follows:■It operates in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band.■It does not require the procurement of an FCC license to operate.■It uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DS-SS), an RF modulation scheme that is resistant to noise.■This device complies with Wi-Fi, and is able to com-municate at the maximum transfer rate of 11 Mbps.■The maximum communication range is approxi-mately 80 feet (25 meters) inside a building. The range may be shorter depending upon the installation fac-tors, such as walls and columns.■Unauthorized access can be prevented with the use of an SSID and an encryption key (also known as a WEP key).Wireless LAN Modes Using this DeviceAd Hoc Mode (See Figure 1)“Ad Hoc Mode” refers to a type of wireless network that involves connecting multiple computers without the use of an Access Point. Network connectivity between computers can be established using only wireless LAN cards in a peer-to-peer fashion.Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers.In the Ad Hoc mode, you can use the function supported by Microsoft Network, such as File and Print Sharing to exchange files and share a printer or other peripheral devices.To use the Ad Hoc Mode, you must set the same SSID and the same encryption key for all the computers that are connected. All connected computers can communi-cate with each other within the communication range. Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode (See Figure 2)If a number of computers are connected simultaneously in the Ad Hoc mode, the transfer rate may be reduced, communications may become unstable, or the network Figure 1.

![60Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC User’s Guide – AppendixTroubleshootingCauses 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. For the method of setting network authentication, refer to the following pages:· “Assigning parameters” on page 53· Poor radio wave condition Ad 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 pages:· “Confirming the status of the radio waves” on page 57.·Radio wave transmission has stoppedCheck if the wireless switch is turned ON.
