6.1Winbond Smart Manager

The Winbond Smart Manager is a clever utility that helps secure the PC with a Smart Card Reader and a smart card containing a mini-chip insert, like a GSM cell phone SIM card. Once a smart card reader is configured, set up the Smart Manager software utility for “boot up” or “always on” system security.

6.1.1 Setting Up Smart Manager

Connect the smart card reader to the P4T-EM; (refer to 3. Hardware Setup for the connector location.) Boot up the PC and enter BIOS (press <del>) to change the configuration to accept smart card hardware: in the Advanced BIOS menu select the I/O Device Configuration sub-menu, go to UART2 and select Smart Card Read, save and exit.

Finish booting up. Insert the ASUS Support CD and click on the selection: Winbond Smart Manager Application. The auto-installer prompts to install the Base Components and after doing show displays a readme file. Next, immediately install the Smart Card Driver Library as prompted. Finally, install the Winbond Smart Manager application as prompted.
