The Opened flag is set (on) whenever the Sealing Wire is open, and unset
(off) whenever it is closed. That explains why the O/C flag appears black.
Now, open the Sealing Wire by pulling one of its ends out of the socket.
Click the Single Interrogation button again to see that the O/C flag has
turned red (on).
You may have noticed that also the S/T flag has become red. This indicates
that the DataSeal was Tampered. If you now close the Sealing Wire, this
flag will remain on, even though the Opened flag will turn off again. Try it
now: close the wire, and click the Single inte rrogation once more. You
should see the O/C flag black again, but the S/T remains red.
No matter how many times you would open and close the wire now, the
Tampered flag remains set, to indicate that it was opened at least once.
You can try it if you want.
You may be wondering by now, whet her this t utorial led you to a st ate
where the DataSeal is irreversibly tampered, meaning that the DataSeal is
no longer usable! Well, you can relax because the Hi-G-Tek DataSeal is a
reusable seal, meaning that you can clear that Tampered flag. The
Tampered flag can be cleared only when the Sealing Wire is closed, and it
is done by sending a Set command to the DataSeal. That’s right, that's the
same command you sent after the Hard Wakeup in the "Preparing the
Seal/T ag" section.
You can send this command from the Ve ri fy & Se t windows too. After
performing a Single Interrogation, click on the line in the list that shows
the Seal ID of the DataSeal you want to Set. Notice that the Seal ID now
appears in the Seal ID box at the top part of the window. You may also
type the Seal ID there manually if you prefer. Make sure that the Sealing
Wire is closed, and then click on the Set button (inside the Addressed
Ve rify and Set frame).
