Biometric Mouse; Security Features - Honeywell Marathon Reference Manual

Biometric Mouse

The Marathon contains a biometric mouse located on the right next to the keypad.
The biometric mouse performs two functions, security and screen navigation (simulating a mouse). Use the F9 function key to
toggle between the two features.

Security Features

As a security device, the biometric mouse can restrict device access to only those users whose fingerprint scan is stored on
the Marathon. Examples include:
Windows logon can be performed with a fingerprint scan as opposed to the traditional user name and password. You
l
must create a Windows user account with a password, then shutdown and restart the Marathon before you can add
fingerprint security to that user account. After rebooting, create fingerprint security, then shutdown and restart the
Marathon to save the password in the registry.
Internet Explorer web site login information (user name and password) can be stored and accessed only after a
l
successful fingerprint scan.
SecureLock, a part of the Fingerprint software package, can be used to create a virtual disk that can only be accessed
l
after a successful fingerprint scan. Without an authorized fingerprint scan, the drive is not accessible or displayed in
Windows explorer.
Files and folders may be assigned encryption that limits access to only those users who have a stored fingerprint.
