XyLoc Product Architecture
XyLoc is a microprocessor-based turnkey solution. Its patented technology is based on
wireless radio frequency (RF) technology that continuously monitors authorized users based
on their proximity to the PC and grants access to the PC as appropriate. The XyLoc system
consists of:
•
XyLoc Software
: authenticates and identifies multiple users and controls the lock and
key;
•
XyLoc Lock
: a small ultra-low power receiver that plugs into a USB port;
•
XyLoc Key
: a small, wireless transmitter with unique user ID that can be clipped to a
belt or key ring, worn on a neck lanyard, or attached to an ID badge.
How XyLoc Works
The XyLoc Lock and Key are in constant, encoded two-way wireless communication with
each other. As an authorized user approaches the PC, the XyLoc Key identifies and
authenticates the user, and unlocks the PC when the user enters the pre-set
Range
. Then,
when the authorized user moves out of the
Active Zone
, XyLoc automatically secures the
desktop. The PC is instantly secured and remains so until an authorized user returns to within
a user-configured unlock range. Background tasks, such as printing and downloading,
however, may continue while the PC is securely locked.
