POWER ON SELF TEST MESSAGES

The following is an alphabetic list of error-and-status
messages that Phoenix BIOS and/or your operating
system can generate and an explanation of each message.
Error messages are marked with an *. If an error
message is displayed that is not in this list, write it down
and check your operating system documentation both
on screen and in the manual. If you can find no
reference to the message and its meaning is not clear,
contact your support representative for assistance.

for the stuck key. You may have to replace your keyboard
but may be able to use an external keyboard until then.
Contact your support representative.

*Operating system not found

Operating system cannot be located on either drive A: or
drive C: Enter the setup utility and see if both the fixed
disk, and drive A: are properly identified and that the
boot sequence is set correctly. Unless you have changed
your installation greatly, the operating system should be
on drive C:. If the setup utility is correctly set, your hard
drive may be corrupted and your system may have to be
re-installed from your back up media.

*Failing Bits: nnnn The hex number nnnn

This is a map of the bits at the memory address (in
System, Extended, or Shadow memory) which failed the
memory test. Each 1 (one) in the map indicates a failed
bit. This is a serious fault that may cause you to lose data
if you continue. Contact your support representative.

*Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk Controller
Failure (where x = 1-4)

The fixed disk is not working or not configured prop­erly. This may mean that the hard drive type identified
in your setup utility does not agree with the type
detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility
to check for the hard drive type settings and correct
them if necessary. If the settings are OK and the message
appears when you restart the system, there may be a
serious fault which might cause you to lose data if you
continue. Contact your support representative.

click [Yes] when asked if you want to reboot the
system.

RESTORING THE FACTORY IMAGE

The 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 Hard Disk Data Delete unless
you are absolutely certain that you want to erase your
entire hard disk, including all partitions.

• The use of this disc requires that you
have a device capable of reading DVDs
attached to your system. If you do not
have a built-in DVD player, you will need
to attach an external player. For more
information on available external devices,
visit our Web site at: us.fujitsu.com/

KEYBOARD

Caring for your Keyboard

The keyboard of your computer is a very sensitive
instrument. It is made up of many switches that are
activated when you press on the keys. The keyboard is a
major component of the heat dissipation system in a
Tablet PC. Due to heat and size considerations the
keyboard is not sealed. Because the keys are so close
together, it is not easy for the user to see when liquids
have fallen onto the circuitry below the keys.

Attempting to clean the keyboard with a spray on
cleaner or rag soaked with cleaner the liquid can drip
onto the circuitry sight unseen. Once the liquid seeps
between the layers of circuitry, it can cause corrosion or
other damage to the circuits. This can result in keys
which no longer operate, or which, when pressed, record
the wrong characters and other similar failures.

There is no repair for this problem other than replace­ment. The solution is to become aware of the issue and
take appropriate steps to protect your keyboard.

Increasing Battery Life

■

Keep brightness to the lowest comfortable level.

■

Set the power management for maximum battery life.

■

Put your Tablet PC in Standby mode when it is turned
on and you are not actually using it.

■

Limit your CD-ROM access.

■

Disable the Windows CD auto insert function.

■

Always use fully charged batteries.

■

Eject PCMCIA cards when not in use.

OPTIONAL FLOPPY DISK DRIVE AND
FLOPPY DISKS

Caring for your Floppy Disks

■

Avoid using floppy disks in damp and dusty locations.

■

Never store a floppy disk near a magnet or magnetic
field.

■

Do not use a pencil or an eraser on a disk or disk label.

■

Avoid storing the floppy disks in extremely hot or cold
locations, or in locations subject to severe temperature
changes. Store at temperatures between 50º F (10º C)
and 125º F (52º C).

■

Do not touch the exposed part of the disk behind the
metal shutter.

To clean the keyboard, use a rag dampened slightly with
cleaning solution. Use extreme care to prevent liquid
from dripping between the keys. Spraying directly on the
keys should be avoided. The spray should be applied first
to the cloth, and then the cloth wiped over the keys.

74

Caring for your Optional Floppy Disk Drive

■

To clean, wipe the floppy disk drive clean with a dry
soft cloth, or with a soft cloth dampened with water or
a solution of neutral detergent. Never use benzene,
paint thinner or other volatile material.

■

Avoid storing the floppy disk drive in extremely hot or
cold locations, or in locations subject to severe

Care and Maintenance

temperature changes. Store at temperatures between
50º F (10º C) and 125º F (52º C).

■

Keep the floppy disk drive out of direct sunlight and
away from heating equipment.

■

Avoid storing the floppy disk drive in locations subject
to shock and vibration.

■

Never use the floppy disk drive with any liquid, metal,
or other foreign matter inside the floppy disk drive
or disk.

■

Never disassemble or dismantle your floppy disk
drive.

OPTIONAL OPTICAL DRIVE AND DISCS

Caring for your discs

CDs and DVD discs are precision devices and will func­tion reliably if given reasonable care.

■

Always store your discs in their case when not in use.

■

Always handle discs by the edges and avoid touching
the surface.

■

Avoid storing any discs in extreme temperatures.

■

Do not bend discs or set heavy objects on them.

■

Do not spill liquids on discs.

■

Do not scratch discs.

■

Do not put a label on discs.

■

Do not get dust on discs.

■

Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen
or pencil. Always use a felt pen.

■

If a disc is subjected to a sudden change in tempera­ture, cold to warm condensation may form on the sur­face. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint free
cloth and let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT use
a hair dryer or heater to dry discs.

■

If a disc is dirty, use only a disc cleaner or wipe it with
a clean, soft, lint free cloth starting from the inner
edge and wiping to the outer edge.

■

Avoid using or storing the drive where it will be
subjected to shock or vibration.

■

Do not disassemble or dismantle the optical drive.

PC CARDS

Caring for your PC Card Slots

PC Cards are durable, but you must treat them with
care. The documentation supplied with your PC Cards
provides specific information for caring for the cards.

When you don’t have a PC Card inserted in your system,
you should be sure to insert the PC Card slot inserts that
came with your system. These will help to keep dust and
dirt out of your system.

Caring for your Optional Optical Drive

Your optical drive is durable but you must treat it with
care. Please pay attention to the following points:

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.

NTSC

National TV Standards Commission. The standard for
TV broadcast and reception for the USA.

Open system authentication

One of network authentication types for wireless LAN.
Since there is no check of network key upon authentica­tion, clients can connect to the access point without
submitting correct network keys. However, in case of

actual communications, the same network key must be
set. Open system authentication is sometimes called
Open key authentication.

FCC REGULATORY INFORMATION

Please note the following regulatory information related to the
wireless LAN device.

Regulatory Notes and Statements

Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use

Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wire­less LAN (WLAN) devices. The energy levels of these emissions,
however, are far much less than the electromagnetic energy
emissions from wireless devices such as mobile phones. Wire­less LAN devices are safe for use by consumers because they
operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety
standards and recommendations. The use of Wireless LAN
devices may be restricted in some situations or environments,
such as:



On board an airplane, or



In an explosive environment, or



In situations where the interference risk to other devices or
services is perceived or identified as harmful.

In cases in which the policy regarding use of Wireless LAN
devices in specific environments is not clear (e.g., airports,
hospitals, chemical/oil/gas industrial plants, hospitals, private
buildings), obtain authorization to use these devices prior to
operating the equipment.

Regulatory Information/Disclaimers

Installation and use of this Wireless LAN device must be in
strict accordance with the instructions included in the user
documentation provided with the product. Any changes or
modifications made to this device that are not expressly
approved by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment. The manufacturer is not responsible for
any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized
modification of this device, or the substitution or attachment of
connecting cables and equipment other than those specified by
the manufacturer. It is the responsibility of the user to correct
any interference caused by such unauthorized modification,
substitution or attachment. The manufacturer and its autho­rized resellers or distributors will assume no liability for any
damage or violation of government regulations arising from
failure to comply with these guidelines.

This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.

Federal Communications Commission statement

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause interference, and, (2) This device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of this device.

FCC Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installa­tion. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer­ence will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the distance between the equipment and the
receiver.

3. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different
from the one the receiver is connected to.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced technician for help.

FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using low power wireless devices.
There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are
absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio
frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating
tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating
effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low­level RF exposure have not found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but
such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The
wireless LAN radio device has been tested and found to comply with
FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equip­ment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines
in Supplement C to OET65.

The maximum SAR value measured from the devices are:

Before Using the Wireless LAN

This manual describes the procedures required to prop­erly 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 Document

This 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 PRO/Wireless 3945ABG(WM3945ABG)

Network connection(802.11a+b/g)



Atheros® AR5006EXS(AR5BXB6)Mini-Card Wireless

network card(802.11a+b/g)

Characteristics of the WLAN Device



The WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the
main board of the mobile computer.



It operates in two license-free RF bands, therefore
eliminating the need to procure an FCC license to
operate. It operates in the 2.4GHz Industrial, Scien­tific, and Medical (ISM) RF band and in the lower and
middle bands of the 5GHz Unlicensed National Infor­mation Infrastructure (UNII) bands.



The WLANs are capable of three operating modes,
IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g, wireless
LAN standards governed by the IEEE (Institute of
Electronics and Electrical Engineers).



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 Divi­sion 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 inter­ference from external RF sources.



The WLAN device supports the following encryption
methods - WEP, TKIP, and AES encryption.

WIRELESS LAN MODES USING THIS DEVICE

Ad Hoc Mode

(See Figure A-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
are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing
network connectivity between multiple computers.

Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authenti­cation, and encryption key settings are identically
configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.

Figure A-1. Ad Hoc Mode Network

96

T Series.book Page 97 Thursday, July 14, 2005 2:24 PM

Wireless LAN User’s Guide

Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode

(See Figure A-2)

Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network archi­tecture in which devices communicate with wireless or
wired network devices through an Access Point. In infra­structure mode, wireless devices can communicate with
each other or 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 Device

The 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 Oper­ating System that your mobile computer comes with has
been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.

WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS

■

The WLAN devices support IEEE802.11a+b/g.

■

The devices operate in the 2.4GHz ISM band the 5
GHz lower and middle UNII bands.

■

The maximum range of the WLAN device indoors is
typically 80 feet (25 meters). Please note that the max­imum 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 2.4 GHz fre­quency range may interfere with the operation of
WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g modes. Interference
symptoms include reduced throughput, intermittent
disconnects, and large amounts of frame errors. It is
HIGHLY recommended that interfering devices be
powered off to ensure proper operation of the WLAN.

DEACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICE

Deactivation of the WLAN device may be desired in
certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where
certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics,
airplanes, etc.). Fujitsu mobile computers employ two
methods with which to deactivate the WLAN device:

■

Using the Wireless On/Off Switch, or,

■

In Windows, using the Intel PROSet Software or

Atheros Client Utility software.

Wireless LAN Glossary

Wireless LAN User’s Guide

Ad Hoc Mode

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 Points.
Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in
a peer-to-peer fashion. For details, refer to “Ad hoc
connection” on page 96.

Channel

Range 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.

IEEE802.11a

Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data
rate of 54 Mbps. 802.11a devices operate in the 5 GHz
lower and middle UNII bands.

IEEE802.11b

Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data
rate of 11 Mbps. 802.11b devices operate in the 2.4 GHz
ISM band.

Access point

Wireless network device used to bridge wireless and
wired network traffic.

IP address

The 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 envi­ronment 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 key

Data that is used for encrypting data in data communi­cation. 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 authentication

Null authentication method specified in the 802.11 stan­dard that performs no authentication checks on a wire­less 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.

Protocol

A 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 proce­dures.

107

T Series.book Page 108 Thursday, July 14, 2005 2:24 PM

Shared key authentication

802.11 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 authentica­tion is not considered secure, because a hacker who
detects both the clear-text challenge and the same chal­lenge 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 mask

TCP-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 wire­less 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.

IP address information

IP addressing is much more complicated
than can be briefly explained in this
document. You are advised to consult with
your network administrator for additional
information.

If IP address is unknown, set IP address as follows:

If you have an access point (DHCP server) on the
network, set the IP address as follows:

[Obtain an IP address automatically]

A DHCP server is a server that
automatically assigns IP addresses to
computers or other devices in the network.
There is no DHCP server for the AdHoc
network.

Wireless LAN User’s Guide

If the IP address is already assigned to the computer in
the network, ask the network administrator to check the
IP address to be set for the computer.

If no access point is found in the network:

An IP address is expressed with four values in the range
between 1 and 255.

Set the each computer as follows: The value in paren­theses is a subnet mask.

<Example>

Computer A: 192.168.100.2 (255.255.255.0)

Computer B: 192.168.100.3 (255.255.255.0)

Using the Fingerprint Sensor

Fingerprint Sensor Device

INTRODUCING THE OPTIONAL
FINGERPRINT SENSOR DEVICE

Your system may have an optional fingerprint sensor
device in the location at which other models have a
scroll button. (Figure B-1)

Figure B-1 Fingerprint sensor

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.

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 pass­word

After you have “enrolled” - or registered - your finger­print, 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 password­protected 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 116. 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 or Windows XP Profes­sional 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 116. 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 with an administrator user before
proceeding with OmniPass installation.

To install OmniPass on your system you must:

1. Insert the installation media for the OmniPass appli­cation 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
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.

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). Double­click 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 OmniPass

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.

To 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 ENROLLMENT

Before you can use any OmniPass features you must first
enroll a user into OmniPass.

Master Password Concept

Computer resources are often protected with passwords.
Whether you are logging into your computer, accessing
your email, e-banking, paying bills online, or accessing

116

network resources, you often have to supply credentials
to gain access. This can result in dozens of sets of creden­tials 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.

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.

Basic Enrollment

The Enrollment Wizard will guide you through the
process of enrolling a user. Unless you specified other­wise, 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

T Series.book Page 117 Thursday, July 14, 2005 2:24 PM

Using the Fingerprint Sensor

will be your Windows computer name. In a corpo­rate environment, or when accessing corporate
resources, the Domain: may not be your Windows
computer name. Click [Next] to continue.

3. In this step OmniPass captures your fingerprint.
Refer to “Enrolling a Fingerprint” on page 117 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 Fingerprint

Enrolling 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 (See
Figure B-1). A swipe sensor is small and resembles a
skinny elongated 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 finger­print, the Ver if y F in ge rpr in t screen will automati­cally appear. To verify your enrolled fingerprint,
swipe your fingertip over the sensor four times to
verify. Successful fingerprint verification will show a
green fingerprint in the capture window and the text
Verification Successful under the capture window.
(An unsuccessful swipe will be indicated in red.)

USING OMNIPASS

You are now ready to begin using OmniPass. Used regu­larly, OmniPass will streamline your authentications.

Password Replacement

You 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 Toolbar

After 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 pass­word 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 unse­lected 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 finger­print capture window or your master password for the
master password prompt (the key icon).

Remembering a Password

OmniPass can remember any application, GUI, or pass­word 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.

117

T Series.book Page 118 Thursday, July 14, 2005 2:24 PM

LifeBook T Series Tablet PC – Appendix B

Go to a site that requires a login (username and pass­word), but do not log in yet. At the site login prompt,
enter your username and password in the prompted
fields, but do not enter the site (do not hit [Enter],
[Submit], [OK], or Login). Right-click the OmniPass
system tray icon and select Remember Password from
the submenu. The Windows arrow cursor will change to
a golden key OmniPass cursor. Click this OmniPass
cursor in the login prompt area, but do not click the
[Login] or [Submit] button.

Associating a Friendly Name

After clicking the OmniPass key cursor near the login
prompt, OmniPass will prompt you to enter a “friendly
name” for this site. You should enter something that
reminds you of the website, the company, or the service
you are logging into. In its secure database, OmniPass
associates this friendly name with this website.

Additional Settings for Remembering a Site

When OmniPass prompts you to enter a “friendly name”
you also have the opportunity to set how OmniPass
authenticates you to this site. 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.

Click Finish to complete the remember password proce­dure. 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 Site

Whether 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 Password

Once you return to a site you have remembered with
OmniPass, you may be presented with a master pass­word prompt. Enter your master password and you will
be allowed into the site.

Logging into Windows with a Fingerprint Device

When 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.

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

.

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 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.

118

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.

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 pass­word prompt with your enrolled finger.

Password Management

OmniPass provides an interface that lets you manage
your passwords. To access this GUI, double-click the
OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Va ul t M a na ge -
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.

T Series.book Page 119 Thursday, July 14, 2005 2:24 PM

Using the Fingerprint Sensor

You 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 Identities

Identities allow OmniPass users to have multiple
accounts to the same site (e.g., [e-mail] and
[e-mail]). 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 Vaul t Ma na ge -
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 user

To 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]

When you delete an identity, all of its
associated remembered sites and password
protected dialogs are lost.

.

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 automati­cally 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 Login

To choose your identity during login, type your user­name 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 pull­down menu in the Identity: field. Select the identity you
wish to login as and then click OK to login.

Switch User Identity

To 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 Management

On 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 pass­words 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 118.

CONFIGURING OMNIPASS

This section gives an overview of both the Export/
Import function and the OmniPass Control Center.

Exporting and Importing Users

Using 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

.

■

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 remem­bered 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 Domai

n.

LifeBook T Series Tablet PC – Appendix B

Exporting an OmniPass User Profile

To 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 authenti­cation, 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 Profile

You cannot import a user into OmniPass if
there already is a user with the same name
enrolled in OmniPass.

To 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 cre­dentials 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 sys­tem. 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 "Sun­shine". 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, pro­vided 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 CENTER

This 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 cor­ner 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 Management

The 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 119. 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 116.

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

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.

User Settings

The User Settings tab has four interfaces: Audio Settings,
Tas k ba r T i ps , and Enrollment. User settings allow users

to customize OmniPass to suit their individual prefer­ences. Under User Settings (Audio Settings and Ta s kb a r
Tips) you can set how OmniPass notifies the user of
OmniPass events (e.g., successful login, access denied,

.

120

T Series.book Page 121 Thursday, July 14, 2005 2:24 PM

Using the Fingerprint Sensor

etc.). The details of each setting under the Audio
Settings and Tas k ba r T i ps interfaces are self-explana-

tory.

The Enrollment interface allows you to enroll finger­prints. For the procedure to enroll and authentication
device refer to Chapter 2.3. To enroll additional finger­prints, 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 Settings

The 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

You 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 password

Cannot add Windows users to OmniPass

If you experience difficulties adding a Windows user
to OmniPass, you may need to adjust your local secu­rity 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 Authen­ticate as Themselves.

Cannot add a User with a Blank Password to OmniPass

If you experience difficulties adding a user with a
blank password to OmniPass, you may need to adjust
your local security settings. First attempt the proce­dure 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 pass­words to console login only. This setting should be

set to Disabled.

Dialog appears after OmniPass authentication during
Windows Logon

After 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 disabled

If 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.
