c. Enrollment Set-Up
1 Open the plusID Manager software application.
2 Hand the user their new plusID device.
3 Review the “How to Swipe” instructions with the user, letting them practice
swiping until they can do so properly and comfortably (see section 2.b. or the
Help menu within plusID Manager)
4 Insert the largest end of the mini-USB cable, packaged with the plusID
device, into the computer's USB port, and the smallest end into the port at
the base of the plusID.
5 For each new device the “Device Registration” screen will appear (Figure 3).
i. Enter the user's first and last name. Employee number is optional,
but recommended. Employee number is any unique identifier, i.e., an
official employee i.d., or social security number. Note: None of this
user information is stored on the device. It is stored only in the plusID
Manager’s database for record keeping purposes.
ii. Each device is shipped with a default Administrator PIN of 4321.
Enter the default Administrator PIN as the “Current PIN.” Before
entering a new PIN, see the warning below. The new Administrator
PIN can be from four to eight letters, numbers and/or
characters.
! It is highly recommended that each organization select a single
Administrator PIN for all plusID devices. This PIN should be selected by an
Officer of the company or by Security Personnel. The Administrator PIN
should be treated as a corporate secret and guarded in the same manner as
other keys/passwords that grant access to valuable resources. If the
Administrator PIN were ever to be compromised, issued devices would be
susceptible to manipulation by outside organizations, and the security of
corporate physical and logical assets would be placed at risk. There is no
way to reset the Administrator PIN. For more information on the
Administrator PIN, see #9 under Getting Started.
d. Enroll the First Thumb
Note: Sit near the user to watch closely and ensure that they are following the
Enrollment Guidelines. An enrollment cannot be stopped once begun, but can
be easily erased and redone.
1. Always enroll the primary thumb first. Ask if the user is right or left handed.
! If the plusID will be used only for computer logon, it may be advisable to enroll
the primary index finger (in place of the thumb), assuming that the device will
regularly be positioned flat on a desk connected to a computer, as opposed to
being held and operated in-hand.
1. Select “Enrollment” from the menu tree.
2. Select the “Enroll” button from the Enrollment screen
3. To initiate enrollment, select the respective thumb from the on-screen hand
diagram.
