The HSM provides Console commands to support the use of Smartcards:
· Format a Smartcard.
· Create an Authorizing Officer Smartcard.
· Verify the contents of a Smartcard.
· Change a Smartcard PIN.
· Read Smartcard Details (unidentifiable card).
· Save HSM settings to a Smartcard (see section HSM Settings, Storage and Retrieval).
· Restore HSM settings from a Smartcard (see section HSM Settings, Storage and Retrieval).
· Eject a Smartcard.
If a Smartcard function returns an error message code in the form:
XX XX
Note the value displayed and contact the local HSM service provider.
NOTE: DO NOT REPEATEDLY ENTER INVALID PINS. A CARD "LOCKS" AFTER SEVEN INVALID PINS HAVE BEEN ENTERED, AND IT CAN BE "UNLOCKED" ONLY BY REFORMATTING, WHICH DELETES THE ENTIRE CONTENTS OF THE CARD.
