Unlocking SAM cards - Synergis Cloud Link 2.1.1

Storing cryptographic keys on MIFARE Secure Access Module (SAM) AV2 cards instead of the Synergis™ key store increases security because the keys cannot be retrieved. The SAM cards must be unlocked to interact with Synergis™ Cloud Link for cryptographic operations.

1. Log on to the Synergis Cloud Link 312 unit.
2. Click Configuration > Synergis™ key store.
3. At the top of the key list, click .
4. In the Create new version dialog box, do the following:
   
   1. Select SAM LockUnlock.
   2. In the Components field, enter the LockUnlock keys that you configured in the SAM production tool, and click Add.
   3. Click OK.
5. Click Configuration > SAM card.
   
6. In the SAM card unlock configuration section, enter the key number and key version of the LockUnlock key stored on the SAM card.
7. In the SAM card status section, verify that the SAM cards were inserted and configured correctly.
   You can have up to three SAM cards installed. Each expansion slot can have one of the following statuses:

   OK

   A SAM card is inserted and the LockUnlock key, key number, and version number are valid.

   SAM card unlock failed

   A SAM card is inserted, but the LockUnlock key, key number, or version number do not match those on the card.

   No SAM card inserted

   There is no SAM card in the expansion slot.
