27Getting StartedPower 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 Suspend mode when itis 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 betweenperformance and power savings.SUSPEND/RESUME/POWER ON BUTTONWhen your LifeBook notebook is active, the Suspend/Resume/Power On button can be used to manually put your notebook into Suspend mode. Push the button when your notebook is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. You will hear two short beeps and your system will enterSuspend mode. (See figure 2-3 on page 6 for location)If your LifeBook notebook is suspended, pushing the Suspend/Resume/Power On button will return your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in Suspend mode by looking at the Power indicator. (See figure 2-3 on page 6) If the indi-cator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernation mode.SUSPEND MODESuspend or Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your LifeBook notebook’s system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode will turn off the CPU, the display, the hard drive, and all of the other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and allow for restarting. Your notebook can be put in Suspend mode by:■Pressing the Suspend/Resume/Power On 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 BatteryWarning condition.You can change the actions the computer takes when the lid is closed or buttons are pressed by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel. Double-click the Power Options icon and select the Advanced tab. Your LifeBook notebook’s system memory typically stores the file(s) on which you are working, open applica-tion(s) information, and any other data required to support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation from Suspend mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Suspend/Resume/Power On button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your notebook will not resume.HIBERNATION FEATUREThe Hibernation feature saves the contents of yourLifeBook notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature. ■If you are running your LifeBook note-book on battery power, be aware that the battery continues to discharge while your notebook is in Suspend mode, though not as fast as when fully opera-tional. ■Disabling the Suspend/Resume/Power On button prevents it from being used to put your LifeBook notebook in Suspend or Hibernation mode. The resume function of the button cannot be disabled.■If your LifeBook notebook is actively accessing information when you enter the Suspend or Hibernation mode, changes to open files are not lost. The files are left open and memory is kept active during Suspend mode or the memory is transferred to the internal hard drive during Hibernation mode.The Suspend or Hibernation mode should not be used with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documentation for more information.When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Hibernation mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspension, because all of the peripheral devices will be re-initialized when the system restarts.P7010.book Page 27 Monday, December 20, 2004 1:57 PM

Any keyboard or pointer activity will cause the display to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. HARD DISK TIMEOUTThe Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive activity for the user selected timeout period. Any attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT Power ManagementThe Power Management icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Management to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters. The settings may also be changed in the BIOS. RESTARTING THE SYSTEMIf your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure. 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.

31User Installable FeaturesLithium ion BatteryYour LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion battery (and possibly an optional modular 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 exceed a low of 5°C (41°F) or a high of 35°C (95°F). Extreme temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The charging indicator on the Status Indicator panel will flash red for the affected battery (battery 1 or 2) when you try to charge a battery that is outside of operating temperature range. (See Battery Charging Indicators on page 12 for more information)■When using a high current device such as a modem, DVD/CD-RW 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 1 indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes. If you want to know the condition of the secondary modular Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level 2 indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. 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 27 for more information) 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 Suspend 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.■Battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, features, power management settings, battery condition and other customer preferences.DVD, CD-RW, CD-ROM, or hard drive usage may also have a significant impact on battery life. The battery charging capac-ity 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. Take care of our environment by disposing of batteries properly. Check with your local govern-ment authority for information on recy-cling or disposing of old batteries. If you cannot find this information elsewhere, contact your support representative at 1-800-8Fujitsu (1-800-838-5487)Make sure that the Battery Charging indica-tor and the percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon on the Status Indicator Panel. (See Battery Charging Indicators on page 12 for more informa-tion)Using heavy current devices such as Modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM accesses may prevent charging completely.P7010.book Page 31 Monday, December 20, 2004 1:57 PM
32LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Section FourDead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-cator just like the normal Suspend 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 Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.In Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be main-tained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the charging 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 battery charging icons will blink red to indicate a shorted battery or battery problem. This indicates that the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage any 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.Swapping Batteries when Additional Power Source is not AvailableTo swap batteries in your battery bay when you don’t have another power source available (such as an AC Adapter or charged modular battery), follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1)1. Have a charged battery ready to install.2. Shut down your notebook.3. Press and hold the battery release latches to open the bay. (Figure 4-1)Figure 4-1 Removing the Battery4. Remove the battery from the bay.5. Place the new battery into the bay. (Figure 4-2)6. Verify that the battery bay latches click into place.Figure 4-2 Installing a batterySwapping Batteries when another Power Source is available To swap batteries in your battery bay when you have an additional power source (such as an AC Adapter or charged modular battery), follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1)1. Plug in an AC Adapter or install a fully charged modular battery in the Flexible Bay to ensure power is supplied to the system.2. Slide and hold the battery release latches to open the bay.3. Remove the battery from the bay.4. Slide the new battery into the bay.5. Verify that the battery bay latches click into place. ■Once the low battery notification mes-sage appears, you need to save all your active data and put your system into Suspend mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide a charged battery, AC power adapter, or Auto/Airline adapter as soon as possible.■ When you are in Suspend mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you turn off the power or remove all power sources while your LifeBook notebook is in Suspend mode, any data that has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost.If the Lithium ion battery connector is not fully seated, you may not be able to use your notebook or charge your battery.Battery Release LatchesP7010.book Page 32 Monday, December 20, 2004 1:57 PM

36LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Section FourUSING THE OPTICAL DRIVE ON BATTERY POWERSince an optical drive consumes a lot of power, your overall battery life will be shorter when operating the drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than during standard operation. Many movies run-times are longer than your LifeBook notebook can support on a single battery. If you are watching a DVD movie on battery power you may need to swap in an additional, charged battery or attach AC power during the movie to view it in its entirety. To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:1. Have an additional full-charged battery or your AC adapter ready for use.2. Start watching your DVD movie. 3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately stop the movie and exit the DVD/CD-RW application. 4. Connect an AC Adapter to your system, or install a fully charged battery in the Flexible Bay (after removing any modular devices that may be present in the bay) prior to removing the main battery. 5. Manually place your notebook into suspend mode by depressing the Suspend button then replace the discharged battery with a fully-charged battery. 6. If you removed the optical drive from the Flexible Bay in step 4, reinstall it now.7. Resume your notebook by pressing the Suspend button again. This step is not required if you attached AC power without entering suspend mode.8. Restart your DVD/CD-RW application and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last watching.9. Continue watching your DVD movie.AUTO INSERT NOTIFICATION FUNCTIONThe Auto Insert Notification function allows your Life-Book notebook to automatically start a DVD/CD as soon as it is inserted in the optical drive and the tray is closed. Your notebook will begin playing an audio DVD/CD or will start an application if the DVD/CD includes an auto run file.To prevent a CD from playing automatically as soon as it is inserted, refer to the related help file for your specific operating system.EMERGENCY TRAY RELEASEIn the event that your system does not have power applied, you can still open the media tray using the end of an opened paper clip. To open the tray, insert the paper clip into the emergency tray release hole on the fact of the tray (Figure 4-7). The tray will pop open.Figure 4-7 Using the Emergency Tray Release■Prolonged use of the optical drive, such as when watching a DVD movie, will substantially reduce your note-book’s battery life.■An additional fully-charged battery is highly recommended if you will be watching DVD movies on battery power. If you don’t have an additional battery, you may purchase one either on-line at us.fujitsu.com/computers or call 1-877-372-3473.If you do not stop the optical drive quickly and the LifeBook notebook attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low state) the notebook will shut down improperly. If this occurs, you will need to install a fresh power source (either a charged battery or AC Adapter).Some shorter DVD movies may not require you to swap batteries or attach AC power to complete them. However, it is best to be prepared since actual battery life while operating the optical drive cannot be guaranteed.P7010.book Page 36 Monday, December 20, 2004 1:57 PM

50LifeBook P7000 Series Notebook - Section FiveBefore 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 three devices. Most of the procedures are identical. Sections that differ between the devices have been noted in the text:■Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connections (802.11b/g): Available on LifeBook P7010 notebook model■Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connections (802.11a+b/g): Available on LifeBook P7010 notebook model■Atheros AR5002X Mini-PCI wireless network card (802.11a + b/g): Available on LifeBook P7010D note-book modelCharacteristics of the WLAN Device■The WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the main board of the mobile computer. ■The WLAN devices operate in license-free RF bands, therefore eliminating the need to procure an FCC license to operate. All three WLAN devices operate in the 2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band. Additionally, the Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG and Atheros AR5002X devices operate in the lower and middle bands of the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) bands. ■The Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG WLAN device is capable of two operating modes, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g. The Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG and Atheros AR5002X WLAN devices are capable of three operating modes, IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g. ■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, CKIP, TKIP, and AES encryption.WIRELESS LAN MODES USING THIS DEVICEAd Hoc Mode (See Figure 5-1)"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 Figure 5-1. Ad Hoc Mode NetworkP7010.book Page 50 Monday, December 20, 2004 1:57 PM
51WIreless LAN User’s Guide 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 5-2)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 Oper-ating System that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device. WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS■The Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG WLAN device sup-ports IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g. The Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG and Atheros AR5002X WLAN devices support IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g.■The Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG WLAN device oper-ates in the 2.4GHz ISM band. The Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG and Atheros AR5002X WLAN devices oper-ate 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 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 2.4GHz fre-quency range may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent 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.Figure 5-2.

59WIreless LAN User’s Guide TroubleshootingCauses 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 page:·”Assigning parameters” on page 53·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 57.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 “Starting Transmis-sion” on page 52.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.

60LifeBook P7000 Series Notebook - Section FiveWireless LAN GlossaryAd 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 50.ChannelRange of narrow-band frequencies used by the WLAN device to transmit data. IEEE802.11b/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.IEEE802.11aWireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data rate of 54 Mbps. 802.11a devices operate in the 5 GHz lower and middle UNII bands. IEEE802.11bWireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data rate of 11 Mbps. 802.11b devices operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. Access pointWireless network device used to bridge wireless and wired network traffic. 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.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.P7010.book Page 60 Monday, December 20, 2004 1:57 PM
61WIreless LAN User’s Guide 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. 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 official Wi-Fi logo, which indicates that the product is interoperable with any other product also showing that logo.P7010.book Page 61 Monday, December 20, 2004 1:57 PM

To re-install drivers and/or applications:1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR CD after Windows has started. A Fujitsu Installer screen is displayed after the CD is inserted.2. After reading the License Agreement, click [I agree].3. A window will appear containing a list of applica-tions, drivers, and utilities that you can install from the Drivers and Applications CD.4. In the list, check off all the components you want to install. If you want to install all components, click [Select All]. Clicking [Select All] will select all of the blue-coded components; you must select grey and green components separately.5. Once you have selected the components you wish to install, click [Install Selected Subsystems]; the components will be installed.6. After the components are installed, click [OK], then click [Yes] when asked if you want to reboot the system. RESTORING THE FACTORY IMAGEThe Restore Disc that came with your system contains two utilities:■The Recovery utility allows you to restore the original contents of the C: drive.■The Hard Disk Data Delete utility on this disc is used to delete all data on your hard disk and prevent it from being reused. Do not use the Hard Disk Data Delete utility unless you are absolutely certain that you want to erase your entire hard disk, including all partitions.BOOT Priority ChangeBefore restoring an image, you must first verify that your system is set up to boot from the DVD drive. To verify/change the boot-up priority (rather than booting-up from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive), perform the following steps: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.

101Using the Fingerprint SensorFingerprint Sensor DeviceINTRODUCING THE OPTIONAL FINGERPRINT SENSOR DEVICEYour system may have an optional fingerprint sensor device in the location at which other models have 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 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, web sites, 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 102. 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 Home Edition or Windows XP Profes-sional 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 102. 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.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.P7010.book Page 101 Monday, December 20, 2004 1:57 PM
102LifeBook P7000 Notebook – AppendixThe installation program automatically places an icon (Softex OmniPass) in the Windows Control Panel as well as a golden key shaped icon in the taskbar. Verifying 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 web sites 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.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 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.P7010.book Page 102 Monday, December 20, 2004 1:57 PM

Click [Next] to continue.3. In this step OmniPass captures your fingerprint. Refer to “Enrolling a Fingerprint” on page 103 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 if y Fi n g e r p r 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 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).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.P7010.book Page 103 Monday, December 20, 2004 1:57 PM

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 web sites, 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 Vaul t Manag e -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.P7010.book Page 104 Monday, December 20, 2004 1:57 PM
105Using the Fingerprint SensorYou 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 Vault Manage -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 104.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.P7010.book Page 105 Monday, December 20, 2004 1:57 PM
106LifeBook P7000 Notebook – AppendixExporting 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 105. 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 102. 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, Taskb a r Ti ps, and Enrollment. User settings allow users to customize OmniPass to suit their individual prefer-ences. Under User Settings (Audio Settings and Ta s kb ar Tips) you can set how OmniPass notifies the user of OmniPass events (e.g., successful login, access denied, 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.P7010.book Page 106 Monday, December 20, 2004 1:57 PM
107Using the Fingerprint Sensoretc.). The details of each setting under the Audio Settings and Tas k bar Tips interfaces are self-explana-tory.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.P7010.book Page 107 Monday, December 20, 2004 1:57 PM
