DS1410E

The DS1410E Parallel Port Adapter interfaces Dallas Semiconductor Authorization iButtons to host computers via a PC parallel port. In conjunction with the iButton, the DS1410E provides a high security storage vault for critical execution control information. Only users who posses an iButton can utilize the software, preventing execution of unauthorized copies.

The modularity of the DS1994 allows for easy feature customization. The device supports the insertion of two iButtons, which can be removed and replaced to vary functionality.

For example, a DS1994 Time iButton can be programmed for a 30-day expiration, issued with a DS1410E and a software copy. The evaluator can be converted into a registered user by issuing a DS1991 Multi iButton and inserting it into the second receptacle. The DS1410E supports the same iButtons as other Dallas port adapters. This allows standardization of any protection scheme across virtually all hardware platforms, regardless of the operating system. The iButtons remain constant, and the port adapters change according to the specific platform interface.
