Q1：What components are used to develop and constitute Smart Lock USB hardware locks?

A1：The SmartLock USB hardware lock is mainly a combination of an 8-bit MCU and a 1024-byte EEPROM. Thanks to the 8-bit MCU design, it is the highest protection software lock in all protection locks.

Q2：How much data storage capacity does the SmartLock USB hardware lock provide?

A2：The SmartLock USB hardware lock provides 105 bytes memory space for software development companies. With this 105 bytes memory space, the software development company can write important data to the memory space or read the existing data from the memory space at any time. Use to make the protection results rigorous and complex. 

Q3：Is there a limit on the number of data writes times to the EEPROM inside the SmartLock USB hardware lock? 

A3：The EEPROM used in the SmartLock USB hardware lock is a product with high write resistance. According to the EEPROM component factory test data, the EEPROM in the SmartLock USB hardware lock can be written to 100,000 times, but according to our engineering department's test, the data writing operation within 200,000 times is correct. So the number of conservative data writes is 100,000.

Q4：What kind of USB standard does the SmartLock USB hardware lock conform with?

A4：The SmartLock USB hardware lock is designed and developed in full compatible with the USB 1.1 standard. If the user's computer is equipped with a USB port that conforms to the USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 A Type standard, the SmartLock USB software protection lock can be used on the computer.

Q5: What kind of software operating system can the SmartLock USB hardware lock be compatible?

A5：SmartLock USB is compatible with Windows XP，Windows Vista，Windows 7/8/10 operation system。

Q6：Do users need to install any additional drivers when installing the SmartLock USB hardware lock for the first time?

A6：The SmartLock USB software protection lock is designed and developed using HID's standard technical specifications. Since Microsoft's Windows system has built-in HID-compliant drivers, users of SmartLock USB software protection locks do not need to install any additional drivers. As long as the USB HID driver in the Windows system is working properly, the SmartLock USB software protection lock can be used.

Q7：Does the SmartLock USB hardware lock meets the plug and play criteria?

A7：Yes. The SmartLock USB hardware lock is fully compliant with the USB specification, so it is fully compliant with plug & play standards.

Q9：What function calls does SmartLock USB software API provide?

A9：The SmartLock USB software API currently provides the following functional calls for software development companies.

1. Read Byte function

2. Write Byte function  　　　

3. Read All function (105 bytes)

4. Write All function (105 bytes)

5. Data string Encryption function

6. Data string Decryption function

      Through the interactive use of the above functions, software development companies will be able to construct security protection.

Q10：If the user simultaneously connects the protection locks of other brands with SmartLock USB on the one server computer, will there be conflicts?

A10：Will not. Since SmartLock USB and other brands of protection locks have different VID and PID identification codes, there is no conflicting situation.
