Sony FIU-810 - Manual (Page 11)

Section 3: Initial Setup
Puppy Suite™ Personal Software and the FIU-810 Puppy® Token
The FIU-810 fingerprint identity token scans, stores, and matches fingerprints on-board the
device. Each Puppy unit can hold up to 10 fingerprints of a single user. Each device is
therefore unique to an individual user. You can transport the unit between Puppy Suite Personal
software-enabled client PCs for logon and password purposes, and among Windows and non-
Windows operating system-based computers for access to your private files.
First…Plug It In!
Plug your FIU-810 unit (or preferably the extension cable connected to the unit) into an available
USB port. Windows will detect the device and automatically load drivers for the unit.
When the unit is successfully detected, you should be able to see the unit as a removable hard
drive in Windows Explorer and in Windows XP, a message will appear saying that your device
was successfully installed and is ready for use. In fact, depending on your settings, Windows XP
may automatically open an Explorer window showing the device’s contents.
Fingerprint and Puppy Password (PIN) Enrollment
1. Click on the [Puppy Suite] system tray icon ( ) and choose [Start User Manager]. A
message saying "Fingerprints or Password are not registered. Would you like to begin
registration?" will appear. Click [Yes].
2. The [Register User Name] dialog box will appear. Enter your user name and click
[Next].
Note
• This User Name is like a nick name. It does not need to be identical to your Windows user name.
• Once the User Name is set in the Puppy unit, it cannot be changed unless the Puppy unit is
initialized. For more information about initialization, see Section 5.
3. The [Select Authentication Method] dialog box will appear. Choose the type of
authentication method (fingerprint and/or password) you want to register. If you choose
both fingerprint and password, you can choose [AND] or [OR] as an authentication
method. For example, if you choose both [Fingerprint] and [Password] and click [OR],
you can authenticate with either [Fingerprint] OR [Password].
NOTE: If you choose [Fingerprint] ONLY or [Fingerprint AND Password], you will
not be able to access your machine via the Puppy Suite software if you do not have
your FIU-810 unit available. However, if you choose [Fingerprint OR Password],
you will be able to access your machine with your Windows Account password, even
if you do not have the FIU-810 unit handy.
Please carefully consider which method you would like to use before continuing. If
you are concerned about forgetting your device when you travel, it may be best to
