Using the Fingerprint Sensor

Fingerprint Sensor Device

INTRODUCING THE FINGERPRINT

SENSOR DEVICE

Your system has an optional fingerprint sensor device

below the Touchpad, between the left and right buttons.

This also serves as a scroll button. (Figure 1)

Figure A-1 Fingerprint sensor

With a fingerprint sensor, you can avoid having to enter

a username and password every time you want to:

■

Log onto Windows

■

Recover from suspend mode

■

Cancel a password-protected screen saver

■

Log into homepages that require a username and pass-

word

After you have “enrolled” - or registered - your finger-

print, you can simply swipe your fingertip over the

sensor for the system 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, websites, and other password-

protected resources.

OmniPass presents a convenient graphical user interface,

through which you can securely manage passwords,

users, and multiple identities for each user.

GETTING STARTED

This section guides you through the preparation of your

system for the OmniPass fingerprint recognition

application. You will be led through the OmniPass

installation process. You will also be led through the

procedure of enrolling your first user into OmniPass.

INSTALLING OMNIPASS

If OmniPass has already been installed on your system,

skip this section and go directly to “User Enrollment” on

page 104. 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 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 104. Otherwise continue

with this section on software installation.

To install OmniPass on your system you must:

1. Insert the installation media for the OmniPass appli-

cation into the appropriate drive. If you are

installing from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, you must

find and launch the OmniPass installation program

(setup.exe) from the media.

2. Follow the directions provided in the OmniPass

installation program. Specify a location to which

you would like OmniPass installed

. It is recom-

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.

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.

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

proceeding with OmniPass installation.
