Fingerprint Sensor Device

INTRODUCING THE

FINGERPRINT SENSOR DEVICE

Your system has a fingerprint sensor device at the bottom center of the touchpad. (See Figure 2-5 on page 8 for loca- tion)

Figure B-1 Fingerprint sensor

With 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- word

After you have “enrolled” - or registered - your finger- print, you can simply swipe your fingertip over the sensor for the system to 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 authen- tication system for restricting access to your computer, applications, 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 STARTED

This 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 OMNIPASS

If OmniPass has already been installed on your system, skip this section and go directly to “User Enrollment” on page 108. 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 menu

System Requirements

The 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, Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 operating system

■At least 35 MB available hard disk space

Installing the OmniPass Application

If OmniPass is already installed on your system, go to “User Enrollment” on page 108. Otherwise continue with this section on software installation.

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 as an administrator before proceeding with OmniPass 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 recommended 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.
