Serial Plug (Gray) Placement of the XyLoc Lock XyLoc uses advanced wireless technology to make PC security more convenient for the user. The proper placement of the XyLoc Lock will ensure that users get the best performance from XyLoc. Ideal placement is with the face of the Key parallel to the LED on the front of the Lock. The best performance of the system will be achieved by trying to maintain this positioning while you are seated at your PC doing your work. The primary factor in deciding where to place the XyLoc Lock is to determine where the user will wear the XyLoc Key the majority of the time. The Key can be clipped to a shirt pocket or belt or worn on a lanyard around the user’s neck. 3 Once you’ve identified where the Key will be worn, place the Lock at the same height as where the Key will be when the user is at the PC. You should also make sure that the path between the Lock and Key is unobstructed (such as obstruction caused by your arm that might occur while using your mouse or keyboard). For example, if the user will wear the Key on the left side of his shirt, use the Velcro strip to secure the Lock to the left side of the user’s monitor at the same height as the Key will be when the user is seated. If the user will wear the Key on the right side of her belt, use the Velcro strip to secure the Lock to the underside of the user’s desk at the same height as the Key will be when the user is seated and keeping the face of the Key pointing at the LED. If the user will wear the Key on the right side of her belt, use the Velcro strip to secure the Lock to the underside of the user’s desk at the same height as the Key will be when the user is seated and keeping the face of the Key pointing at the LED (see Figure 1).

Theory of Operation Ensure Technologies Key XC-2 Please refer to the block diagram for this discussion. The key is a Gaussian shift keyed FSK transmitter. The transmitter consists of a directly modulated PLL synthesized VCO. The VCO drives a power amplifier. The output of the amplifier is filtered and applied to an internal antenna. A control microprocessor periodically wakes up and then initiates a transmission. The typical period between transmissions is 800 ms. The key has two buttons. One, the “ON” button initiates transmission and programs the key to transmit every 800 ms for 8 hours. The OFF button suspends transmission and puts the key into a sleep state. On alternate transmissions, the key changes it’s antenna pattern by shifting the internal antenna polarization by 90 degrees. It uses the RF switch U4 to switch antenna elements.
