2. Device Registration

When a new or reset device is connected to the plusID Manager for the first time

the “Register plusID Device” screen is displayed (Figure 3).

The three steps below must be repeated each time a new plusID device is

connected.

1. Enter the first and last name of the user (mandatory). Note: This

information is not stored on the user’s device. It is stored only in the

plusID Manager’s database for record keeping purposes.

If the device is being connected for the first time but a user is not

being enrolled, a placeholder first and last name can be entered to

when the device is enrolled.

2. Enter the device’s factory default PIN (4321) in the Current PIN field.

Then enter the organization’s Administrator PIN in the New PIN field and

confirm it in the indicated field. This overwrites the default PIN and installs

the organization’s Administrator PIN on the device. The Administrator PIN

can be from four (4) to eight (8) letters, numbers and/or characters.

! It is imperative that the Administrator PIN be treated as a corporate secret and

guarded in the same manner as other keys/passwords that grant access to

valuable resources. There is no way to reset the Administrator PIN. If it were

lost or forgotten you will not be able to modify any previously issued devices

(See Section I.6.a. under Getting Started for critical information on

Administrator PIN selection and ramifications).

! The current (default) Administrator PIN for all new plusID devices is 4321

3. Select the Register Device button.

The Administrator PIN is requested only once per plusID Manager session, per

device. It will not be requested again during the same session, but will be required

each time a new device is connected.

3. Use of the Administrator PIN with Previously Registered Devices

When a registered device is connected to the same plusID Manager computer on

which it was registered, it will be recognized as an authorized device. The

“Device Registration” screen will not be displayed. The Administrator PIN (the PIN

chosen by the Administrator’s organization, not the default PIN) will be requested

whenever a function requiring security is invoked, such as enrolling an additional

finger or loading a credential (Figure 4).
