It may be helpful for you to first look at the document "Introduction to OBT", in particular Section 6 that explains the various access passwords you were given and their function during the login procedure. Your token displays randomly generated six-digit numbers that change every 60 seconds. The numbers generated are unique to each individual token at any given time. The small bars on the left-hand side of the display show how long the current number will remain valid before changing (every bar represents 10 seconds remaining, so the code on the token shown will change in 50 seconds). The following paragraphs guide you through the process of setting up your SecurID token. You only have to do this entire procedure once, not at every login. The Setup Procedure The code on your SecurID token together with a self selected PIN Code forms your SecurID PassCode. While you have no control over the code on your token of course, you can select the PIN code. Before you use you token for the fist time, you need to assign a PIN Code to the token. To do this, please have your OBT User Name ready and go to the following link: http://securid.obt.com.au (there is no www in front of this link) Once there, simply follow the instructions on the screen. It is a 3-step process and will only take a few moments. You can select any PIN between 4 and 8 digits long. You can use both letters and numbers, but no special characters like %, &, # etc. © 2008 Online Business Technologies Page 5 of 8 OBT Network: Access Instructions Section 3 – Connecting to OBT Using Your SecurID PLEASE NOTE: If you are connecting to OBT via the Internet you must follow the instructions below to be able to successfully login. After having set up the use of the SecurID (see previous section), next time you connect to the OBT network via direct dial-in or over the Internet, all you need to do is what is shown in the following steps. I. Connect to your Internet Service Provider (or if you are subscribed to OBT’s direct dial-in service, dial into OBT’s network directly). II. Start your Internet browser and connect to www.obt.com.au. III. Click on the SecurID Login link on the bottom left of the page. IV. Place the cursor in the white entry field and enter your OBT User Name. V. When asked for a PassCode, enter your PIN immediately followed by the six-digit number shown on your SecurID token at the time. For example, if the PIN you selected was "4all" and your token shows 123456, you need to enter the PassCode 4all123456 to gain access to the network. VI. Select Submit in the next window. VII. In the next window select the network (most likely it is the XPe network) you wish to log on to. *PRINT SCREEN* © 2008 Online Business Technologies Page 6 of 8 OBT Network: Access Instructions VIII.

It all sounds so complicated but it really is not. As mentioned earlier, most of the time you will only deal with the Network Password. Only when you need to access the Network over a modem or via the Internet e.g. from home or if you are a casual OBT user, you need to worry about your PIN and SecurID Password. You will see it will soon be second nature to you and the knowledge that there is such a high degree of security protecting your data will easily outweigh the initial challenges. © 2008 Online Business Technologies Page 8 of 8
