Device Operation Process
8.3.1
Activation/Removal of Device
The L100 must be in an activated state before it can exchange encrypted data (and also before it can be
key-injected). Putting the device in this state requires:
1.
Depressing the removal-detecting buttons at the top and bottom of the frame (and keeping the
buttons in the depressed state).
2.
Specifying or setting user passwords if user passwords have not yet been specified for the
device.
3.
Putting the device in the activation state as described in
step requires that you
use
the passwords set up in step two).
After the device is activated, it will send PIN data as encrypted data. The device can safely be taken out
of the activated (removal-detection-enabled) state at any time using the procedure described below in
Note: do not release the removal detection buttons prematurely.
If the removal detection buttons are released prior
to deactivating the device safely (per
), all keys on the device are erased and the device will be unable to conduct any
further data exchanges. As such, it's important to understand how to safely take the device into and out
of the activated, removal-detection state. The first step is to set the device's user passwords.
Part 1: Setting User Activation/Deactivation Password
The SmartPIN L100 comes with two default Removal Detection passwords that need to be reset with
user-generated passwords before activating the Removal Detection feature. If two user activation
passwords have already been set for the L100, it beeps once and enters the “Want Fix / Removal
Device” state. If this happens, skip these steps or go to “Part 3: Activate Removal Detection.”
To set user passwords:
1.
Power up the PIN Pad.
2.
After the device beeps its
normal tone

The interval between keys cannot exceed 5 seconds.
Note:
if the Fix and Removal log is full, the L100 beeps short tone twice – pause – short tone once and
quits the “Want Fix / Removal Device” state.
Part 2: Modifying Activation passwords
New L100s direct from ID TECH come with default passwords:
•
Activation Key password A: 12345678
•
Activation Key password B: 87654321
Note that all L100 activation key passwords must be numeric.
