3. You will be provided with a password consisting of small words separated by
hyphens (-) such as MOT-SHOW-ROLL-FOUR-HYMN-ROVE. Please enter this
password on your lock screen and hit OK to unlock the laptop.
Note: Hyphens (-) are part of the password and you need to enter them. The OTP
is not case sensitive. For the ease of typing the password you may uncheck the
‘Hide Password’ option if the environment permits.
The laptop then remains operational for a fixed amount of time, after which it locks
again if in the meantime you have not removed the cause of the initial lock event.
Note that under the effect of the OTP some of important safety controls normally
provided by OmniAccess 3500 NLG controls are disabled, therefore it is highly
recommended to avoid being under OTP as far as possible.
After unlocking the laptop using OTP, you can connect directly to Internet using any of
the laptop interfaces (cannot use the 3G interface) as you would do from a normal
laptop. The access to the files stored in the encrypted volume will be available only if
the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card is accessible.
The time remaining under the OTP can be seen by keeping the cursor on the
OmniAccess 3500 NLG tray icon for few seconds. Your laptop will lock after the expiry
of the OTP duration if the corrective action is not completed before the expiry of OTP.
Of course you may always request another OTP from the administrator at the expiry.
SECURE CONNECTIVITY UNDER OTP
After your laptop enters the OTP mode of operation, you must manually select your
preferred interface to establish the secure tunnel to the enterprise and gain access to
the enterprise network.
Your laptop may be in one of the following two states after entering the OTP mode:
1. There is no secure tunnel to the enterprise.
o Select your preferred interface out of the ones that are currently available.
o Click the Connect button.
2. The card is securely connected to the enterprise via the 3G interface but you are
not authenticated with the network.
o Uncheck the Auto 3G option (if currently checked).
o Select the 3G interface and click Disconnect (the Connect button turns into a
Disconnect button if the Auto 3G option is unchecked and the 3G interface is
currently supporting the secure tunnel to the enterprise).
o After the tunnel goes down, select the 3G interface and click Connect. After
the tunnel comes back you will also be authenticated with your network.
o Check the Auto 3G option if it was checked originally.
