LIFEBOOK. (Figure 22)

- Starting Your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook

When you Power On your LIFEBOOK, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and

configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your LIFEBOOK will emit an audio warning and/or an error

message will be displayed. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the

operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings. After satisfactory completion of the

POST, your LIFEBOOK will load your operating system.

The procedure for starting-up your Ultrabook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your Ultrabook’s BIOS.

When your Ultrabook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start

up your Ultrabook. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your Ultrabook, it goes

through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until the operating system is found. During booting, your

Ultrabook is performing a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence is

completed without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating

system’s opening screen.

The boot sequence is executed when:

• You turn on the power to your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook.

• You restart your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook from [Settings]->[Power] menu.

• The software initiates a system restart; for example, when you install a new application.

Hard Disk Drive Passwords

To provide additional security for your data, you can assign passwords to your hard disk drive(s). This feature is

managed in the system BIOS Setup Utility. See

below for information about accessing the utility.

The BIOS Setup Utility sets up the operating environment for your Ultrabook. Your BIOS is set at the factory for normal

operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS’ environment to operate your Ultrabook.

The BIOS Setup Utility also allows you to configure such features as the System Data Security feature parameters, such

Entering the BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following:

1 Turn on or restart your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook.

2 To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, press the [F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen. This will open the

main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility with the current settings displayed.

nothing the system will load the operating system, and then the Windows Welcome will begin.

Starting Windows the First Time

After you boot up the system the first time and follow the instructions on the screen, you will eventually come to the

Welcome window. After sign-in, it takes less then a minute for the computer to boot to Windows; during that time

the progress bar and interactive messages are displayed on the screen.

During the course of the first start up, you will need to read and accept the End User License Agreements (EULAs) for

Microsoft and Fujitsu.

Several additional windows will appear, prompting you to enter a name and description for your computer, an

Administrator password, and a domain name. Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill in the

information as directed.

Following first boot, you will arrive at the Modern start screen. Some useful shortcuts for your reference: Press the

Windows + D keys to go to traditional Windows desktop or press Windows + M keys to load the traditional Windows

desktop and minimize all applications.

Installing Bonus Apps

After you have started your system the first time, you will see a Bonus Apps icon on your desktop. Click on

the icon to see which additional applications are available for you to install. You can also access Bonus Apps

by opening the Charms panel from the Modern Start screen and searching for "Fujitsu BonusApps". Applications that

are already installed appear in grey; those that are available for installation appear in blue.

- Starting Your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook

Select the applications you wish to install by selecting the checkbox adjacent to your selection, or click [Select All] if

you would like to install all available applications. Once you have made your selections, click [Install].

Note that in some cases (depending upon which application was selected for installation) after installation

completes, the system will prompt you to reboot. There are also cases in which if multiple applications are selected

to install but one of them needs a reboot, the system will reboot and continue installing the rest of the selected

Registering your LIFEBOOK with Fujitsu

You can register your LIFEBOOK by going to our website at: https://store.shopfujitsu.com/fpc/Ecommerce/Service.jsp.

You will need to be set up with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to register online.43

Your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are

automatic and need no user intervention. However, others depend on the parameters you set to best suit your

operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management for your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook may be controlled from settings made in your operating system.

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

LIFEBOOK into Sleep mode when it is 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 between performance and power savings.

Power and Suspend/Resume Button

When your LIFEBOOK is active, the Power and Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put it into Sleep

mode. Push the Power and Suspend/Resume button when your LIFEBOOK is active, but not actively accessing

anything, and immediately release the button. Your system will enter Sleep mode.

If your LIFEBOOK is suspended, pushing the Power and Suspend/Resume button will return your system to active

operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in Sleep mode by looking at the Power indicator which is part

of the Suspend/Resume button. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook is fully

operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing, your LIFEBOOK is in Sleep mode. If the indicator is not visible

at all, the power is off or your LIFEBOOK is in Hibernate Hibernation mode.

Sleep mode saves your Ultrabook’s system memory contents 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 LIFEBOOK Ultrabook can be put in Sleep mode by:

• Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on.

• Clicking the power icon on the lock menu.

• Selecting Sleep from the [Settings]->[Power] menu.

• Timing out from lack of activity.44

• Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.

Your Ultrabook’s system memory typically stores the files on which you are working, open application information,

and any other data required to support the operations in progress. When you resume operation from Sleep mode,

your Ultrabook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power and Suspend/Resume button to

resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your Ultrabook will not resume.

Certain configurations of the LIFEBOOK U772 Ultrabook use a combination of Intel® Rapid Start Technology and

Condusiv™ ExpressCache® to allow your system to wake quickly and return to the files and applications you use the

most. This faster wakeup results in saving you time.

This technology also saves you power. When the system is running and you press the power button, the system enters

Sleep Mode (S3) during which RAM is still powered. After a period of time (which is set in the Intel Rapid Start

Technology Manager), your system automatically goes into Hibernation Mode (S4) at which point all of your main

memory is stored to disk and the system is powered off, thereby saving power. When the button is pressed again to

wake the system, it wakes directly from S4, which requires less time than resuming from the traditional Hibernation

he Hibernation feature saves the contents of your Ultrabook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the

Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature.

Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature

To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these steps:

2 Select “Choose what the power button does” or “Choose what closing the lid does”, then make your selections (Do

Nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut Down).

Windows Power Management

The Power Options icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power

management settings. For example, you can use the Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off the

display and hard disks whether you are running the LIFEBOOK on battery power or one of the adapters.

Restarting the System

If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure.

1 From the Modern Start screen, open Charms ([Windows]+C) or mouse over [-] in the bottom right corner of the

screen), then click [Settings]-> [Power].

2 Select Restart from the list.

Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive access indicator is off. If you turn off the power while accessing

a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your LIFEBOOK shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down

TURNING OFF YOUR LIFEBOOK ULTRABOOK WITHOUT EXITING WINDOWS OR TURNING ON YOUR SYSTEM WITHIN 10 SECONDS OF THE SYSTEM BEING SHUT OFF MAY CAUSE AN ERROR WHEN YOU START THE NEXT TIME.46

Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your Ultrabook to complete its operations and turn

off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:

From the Modern Start screen, open Charms ([Windows]+C) or mouse over [-] in the bottom right corner of the

screen), then click [Settings]->[Power]. Select Shut down from the list.

If you are going to store your Ultrabook for a month or more see the Care and Maintenance Section.

Ordinarily, you power down your system by clicking on the small arrow at the bottom right of the Windows Start menu

then clicking Shut Down. You can also use the Power/Suspend/Resume button to power down the system by holding it

down for approximately five seconds. This can be useful if the system is “hung up”, but it shouldn’t be used as the normal

means of shutdown, however.

If you cannot power down your systems by either of these methods, you can use the RESET button on the bottom of your

Ultrabook (See Figure 5 for location). This method should only be used as a last resort when traditional methods do not

work. To shut down your system with the RESET button, first disconnect any AC adapter that may be connected. Insert

a small tool such as the tip of a paper clip into the opening and press the button for a couple of seconds. If you power

down your system with the RESET button, be sure to plug in an AC adapter before turning it back on.

• ALWAYS POWER OFF THE COMPUTER BEFORE TRANSPORTING AND/OR PACKAGING IT. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEM, WAIT UNTIL THE STATUS LED PANEL INDICATES POWER OFF CONDITION (I.E., NO LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED).

ENERGY STAR® Compliance

Your Fujitsu system is an ENERGY STAR® qualified mobile PC. By choosing a computer with the latest

energy-saving technology, you’re helping to preserve our environment for future generations.

ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of

Energy, Natural Resources Canada, and other governments around the world helping us save money

while protecting the environment through energy efficient products and practices. With energy costs and global

warming top-of-mind for consumers, Fujitsu is committed to offering solutions that help consumers conserve energy

and improve the quality of our environment.

You will notice that your computer is initially set so that the display turns off after 15 minutes of user inactivity, and the

computer goes into Sleep mode after 20 minutes of user inactivity. When going into Sleep mode, the computer also

reduces the speed of any active Ethernet network links. To “wake” the computer from Sleep mode, press the

Suspend/Resume Button.

Energy saving benefits:

Fujitsu ENERGY STAR qualified mobile PCs use about half as much electricity as standard equipment – saving half in

utility costs. But more than that, ENERGY STAR also makes a difference for the environment. Did you know that the

average house can be responsible for twice the greenhouse gas emissions as the average car? That’s because every

time you flip on a light switch, run your dishwasher, or turn on your PC, you use energy, which means more

greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. So the more energy we can save through energy efficiency, the more

we help to reduce greenhouse gases and the risks of global warming.

- About the Lithium-Polymer Battery

About the Lithium-Polymer Battery

Your LIFEBOOK has an internal Lithium-Polymer battery that provides power for operating your system when no

external power source is available. The rechargeable battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed

to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals, or other hazards. For information on maximizing your battery

life, refer to the section entitled “Power Management” on page 43.

The Lithium-Polymer battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:

• Your system is set to use Power Saver power scheme when running on battery power. If you change the power

scheme to a different profile, your battery life may vary.

• When used at temperatures that exceed a low of 5°C (40°F) or a high of 35°C (95°F). Extreme temperatures not

only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The charging icon on the Status

Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range. See

“Power Indicator” on page 20.

Recharging the Battery

If you want to know the condition of the Lithium-Polymer battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the

Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.

The Lithium-Polymer battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the

battery, simply connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.

THE INTERNAL LITHIUM-POLYMER BATTERY CAN ONLY BE REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED FUJITSU TECHNICIAN. ANY ATTEMPT BY THE END-USER TO ACCESS AND REPLACE THE BATTERY MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM. REMOVAL OF THE COMPONENT COVER BY THE END-USER WILL VOID THE SYSTEM WARRANTY. FOR ASSISTANCE, GO TO http://solutions.us.fujitsu.com/www/content/support/contact/index.php

ACTUAL BATTERY LIFE WILL VARY BASED ON SCREEN BRIGHTNESS, APPLICATIONS, POWER MANAGEMENT SETTINGS, BATTERY CONDITION AND OTHER CUSTOMER PREFERENCES. EXTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE OR HARD DRIVE USAGE MAY ALSO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON BATTERY LIFE. THE BATTERY CHARGING CAPACITY IS REDUCED AS THE BATTERY AGES. IF YOUR BATTERY IS RUNNING LOW QUICKLY, YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR FUJITSU SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE TO HAVE IT REPLACED.49

- About the Lithium-Polymer Battery

There is no memory effect on the Lithium-Polymer battery, therefore you do not need to discharge the battery

completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your LIFEBOOK is in use while the

battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your LIFEBOOK into Standby mode, or turn it

off while the adapter is charging the battery.

When the battery is running low, a low battery notification message will appear. If you do not respond to the low

battery message, the battery will continue to discharge until too low to operate. When this happens, your LIFEBOOK

will go into Sleep mode. There is no guarantee that your data will not be lost once the LIFEBOOK reaches this point.

Note that you can change the state in which the battery goes into Sleep mode in the Control Panel “Power” properties.

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Sleep mode. Once your LIFEBOOK goes

into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power from an

AC adapter. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.

In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided

promptly, the Power 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 LIFEBOOK Ultrabook while the adapter is charging the battery.

The Status Indicator panel displays the battery status via the Battery Status indicator to show the charge level

available in that battery. If the display is flashing red, it means that the battery is damaged and must be replaced by

Fujitsu technicians.

MAKE SURE THAT THE BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR AND THE PERCENTAGE CHARGE IS DISPLAYED BY THE BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR ON THE S TATUS INDICATOR PANEL.

Your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook comes equipped with multiple ports to which you can connect an external device including

disk drives, keyboards, modems, printers, etc.

It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Factory Image and Bootable Disc (along with other

applicable media such as application discs) before beginning to use your system. To do so, follow the

instructions in the “Saving Your Factory Image” and “Creating Backup Images of Factory Image and Discs”

sections of this chapter.

Saving and Recovering Your Factory and System Images

Along with instructions on saving your Factory Image, this document outlines several other important procedures,

such as making a system image, restoring your Factory Image and system images, managing your images, and

restoring the partitions on a hard drive.

Saving your Factory Image

When you purchased your new system, a copy of the pre-installed Factory Image was loaded into a hidden partition

on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the original Factory Image available to you means that in the event of system

failure, you will be able to restore it to its original state.

• IN ORDER TO INSTALL APPLICATIONS, MAKE COPIES OF FACTORY AND SYSTEM IMAGES, AND BURN APPLICATION MEDIA AND BOOTABLE DISCS YOU MUST HAVE AN INTERNAL OR EXTERNALLY CONNECTED WRITABLE DVD DRIVE.

DUE TO CERTAIN LICENSING REQUIREMENTS, SOME THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS WILL NEED TO BE INSTALLED SEPARATELY USING THE APPLICATION MEDIA BUNDLED WITH YOUR SYSTEM.70

- Restoring Your System Image and Software (Windows 7)

To make a copy of the Factory Image to DVD discs, you will need several blank discs (DVD-R or DVD+R discs are

recommended) to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the discs and keep them in a safe place to

ensure they do not get damaged.

Creating Backup Images of Factory Image and Discs

Using the [Manage/Change] button, you can create backup images of the Factory Image, Application Disc(s), or

[YES] to burn the Factory Image.

6 While the copy is being made, a “Writing to the media screen displays a progress bar. When the copy is complete,

a dialog will appear informing you of the successful completion of the backup.

7 Repeat the process for the remaining images on disc (Bootable Disc and Application Discs). The number of images

available may vary depending on your system model; some models do not have the applications loaded on the

User-Configured System Backups: On your desktop, there is a [MyRecovery] icon that allows you to

make backups of your current system image either to another location on your hard drive or on

removable media. A system image is the configuration of your C: drive at a particular point of time. You

may want to make system image backups occasionally in order to have points to which you can return

without having to go all the way back to the Factory Image.

By default, system images are saved in the MyRecovery folder (either on D:\ or external hard drive, depending on your

- Before Using the Wireless LAN Wireless LAN Modes Using this Device

"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 Network119

- Before Using the Wireless LAN Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode

Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network architecture 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 with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure

mode because they require access to the WLAN in order to access services, devices, and computers (e.g., file servers,

printers, databases).

Wired LAN Access Point*

*An optional hub for a wired

LAN may be required depending

upon the type of access point used.

• Log into home pages that require a username and

After you have “enrolled” - or registered - your fingerprint, you

can simply swipe your fingertip over the sensor for the system

- Introducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor Device

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.

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.

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

page 131. You can determine whether OmniPass has already been installed by checking to see if the following are

• The gold key-shaped OmniPass icon in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen.

• The Softex program group in the Programs group of the Start menu

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 Professional or later operating system

• At least 35 MB available hard disk space

CERTAIN MODELS SUPPORT PRE-BOOT AUTHENTICATION OR PBA. PBA ALLOWS THE USER TO LOG IN PRIOR TO WINDOWS' OWN AUTHENTICATION MECHANISM. A PBA ENVIRONMENT SERVES AS AN EXTENSION OF THE BIOS OR BOOT FIRMWARE AND ALLOWS FOR A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT EXTERNAL TO THE OPERATING SYSTEM.129

OmniPass installed. It is recommended that you NOT install OmniPass in the root directory (e.g. C:\).

4 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.

5 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.

Verifying Information about OmniPass

After you have completed installing OmniPass and restarted your system, you may wish to check the version of

OmniPass on your system.

- Introducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor Device

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 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 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

John enters his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01” and “freq14”) in the OmniPass authentication prompt, and is

allowed into his webmail account. He can do this with as many 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 another computer without the

OmniPass account 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 a system he’s enrolled

on, 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.132

- Introducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor Device

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

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 user. In most

cases, the Domain: value will be your Windows computer name. In corporate environments, 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 132 for additional

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.133

- Introducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor Device

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 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 3. Once OmniPass has successfully acquired the fingerprint, the Verify Fingerprint screen will automatically

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 Verification Successful under the capture window.

4 After you finish enrolling and verifying your fingerprints, you have the option to Enable PBA with enrolled finger.

If you enable this option, then you must choose two fingers to save in PBA. If you have enrolled successfully, the

Finger Enrollment Status in PBA screen will state Finger saved in PBA successfully.

IF YOU ENABLE PBA ON YOUR SYSTEM, YOU MUST SET THE SUPERVISOR PASSWORD AND PASSWORD ON BOOT SETTINGS. SEE “HARD DISK DRIVE P ASSWORDS” ON PAGE 40 FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.134

- Introducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor Device

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 authentication system may be invoked frequently: during Windows Logon, during OmniPass Logon, when

unlocking your workstation, when resuming from sleep or hibernate, when unlocking a password-enabled

screensaver, during password replacement for remembered site or application logins. When you see this toolbar, you

are being prompted to authenticate.

The Logon Authentication window indicates what OmniPass-restricted function you are attempting. Icons in the

lower left (fingerprint and key) show what authentication methods are available to you. Selected 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.135

- Introducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor Device

Go to a site that requires a login (username and password), but

At the site login prompt, enter your

username and password in the prompted fields, but

(do not hit [Enter], [Submit], [OK], or

arrow cursor will change to a golden key OmniPass cursor. Click the OmniPass cursor in the login prompt area, but

don’t click [Login] or [Submit].

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.

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 password 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.

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.136

- Introducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor Device

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 Password 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.

OmniPass provides an interface that lets you manage your passwords. To access this GUI, double-click the OmniPass

key in the system tray. Click Vault Management; you will be prompted to authenticate. Once you gain access to Vault

Management, click Manage Passwords under Vault Settings. You will see the Manage Passwords interface, with a

list of friendly names.

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.137

- Introducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor Device

You can view the credentials stored for any remembered website by highlighting the desired resource under Password

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 when resetting the Windows password. If your password is reset in Windows, the

next time you login to Windows, OmniPass will detect the password change and prompt you to “Update” or

“Reconfirm” the password with OmniPass. Enter your new Windows password in the prompt and click OK. 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.,

). If OmniPass did not provide you identities, you would be limited to remembering one

To create and manage identities, double-click the OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vault Management;

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.138

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

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 pull-down menu

in the Identity: field. Select the identity to login as, then click OK.

Switch User Identity

To switch identities at any time, right-click the OmniPass system tray icon and click Switch User Identity 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 Vault 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 136.

Configuring OmniPass

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

Exporting and Importing Users

YOU CANNOT IMPORT A USER INTO OMNIPASS IF THERE ALREADY IS A USER WITH THE SAME NAME ENROLLED IN OMNIPASS.139

- Introducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor Device

Using OmniPass Control Center, you can export and import users in and out of OmniPass. The export process backs

up all remembered sites, credentials, and 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.

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

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.

• 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,

P ASSWORD, AND DOMAIN.140

- Introducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor Device

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 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

• 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] > Settings > Control Panel) and double-click the

Softex OmniPass icon.

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 138. Add/Remove User functionality is

- Introducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor Device

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 131.

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.

The User Settings tab has four interfaces: Audio Settings, Taskbar Tips, and Enrollment. User settings allow users to

customize OmniPass to suit their individual preferences. Under User Settings (Audio Settings and Taskbar Tips) you

can set how OmniPass notifies the user of OmniPass events (e.g., successful login, access denied, etc.). The details of

each setting under the Audio Settings and Taskbar Tips interfaces are self-explanatory.

The Enrollment interface allows you to enroll fingerprints. For the procedure to enroll and authentication device refer

. To enroll additional fingerprints, click Enroll Authentication Device, and authenticate 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.

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.

REMOVING A USER WILL AUTOMATICALLY DESTROY ALL OMNIPASS DATA ASSOCIATED WITH THAT USER. ALL IDENTITIES AND CREDENTIALS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USER WILL BE LOST.

I F YOU’RE SURE YOU WANT TO REMOVE THE USER, WE RECOMMEND YOU EXPORT THE USER PROFILE.142

- Introducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor Device

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

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

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 OmniPas

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

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.143

- Introducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor Device

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.144
