Following are descriptions of the individual functions on the Device Utilities
screen:
i. Extract Certificate File
Each plusID device contains a unique security certificate. The
certificate is a unique identifier for the device. In the event a security
operation needs to be performed in which the device needs to be
uniquely identified, the certificate can be extracted (as a file), saved
for transfer by selecting the “Extract Certificate File” button.
ii. Extract Device Log
Each plusID device maintains a running log of device activity that
documents the internal workings of the device. This log file can be
extracted by selecting “Extract Device Log” and specifying where to
save the file.
The only time the log would need to be extracted was if it was
requested by Customer Service in order to diagnose a problem. The
device log is made up of engineering code that is only
decipherable by engineers.
iii. Device Firmware
Firmware is the software that is embedded within the plusID device.
The device firmware function enables the updating of firmware on a
plusID device. This function is only necessary if you have received
updated device firmware from Privaris.
