6.1.3Smart Manager Modes

Return to the Windbond Smart Manager icon on the bottom right hand corner of the Windows screen. Select the Logon Card Check Mode to choose the security mode. Three basic modes are available:

1.Disable Check renders the Smart Manager security system inoperative.

2.Boot Check enables the Smart Manager security system for start up. The user must insert the smart card into the reader during start up in order to complete the Windows boot up process. In this mode, the user may remove the smart card and continue to use the PC after the start cycle is complete. If no smart card, or the wrong one, is inserted during boot up, the PC displays the Smart Manager Protection Screen:

Whenever the Smart Manager Protection Screen is displayed, the computer is secured and impenetrable.

3.Always Check configures the Smart Manager to require that the user insert the smart card during start up; then, if the card is removed at any time during the operation of the PC, the Smart Manager protection screen will automatically pop up and the PC is secure until the card is reinserted.

File Protect Check Mode: This is a sub-program used to encrypt and decode individual files stored in the system using a smart card as a key.

NOTE: Do take care not to lose your smart card or you may not be able to restart the PC or decode encrypted files. Test each new smart card to ensure that it is completely compatible with the card reader; the Read2- In-01 Smart Card Reader is designed only to read cards with the standard PC/SC mini-chip configuration.
