Determining between a Swivel HOTP and a TOTP token

The Swivel OATH HOTP Hardware Token is similar to the Swivel OATH TOTP Hardware Token but there are some differences to tell them apart:

• When the button is pressed the HOTP token displays an OTC for about 12 seconds, the TOTP token 60 seconds.
• The HOTP token OTC can be used consecutively regardless of time, the TOTP token OTC has to be used within a very short time period.
• The Administrator can check the Serial Number against the list of purchased tokens.

Troubleshooting

If the Token seed will not import see Token

If the token will not sync ensure that HOTP has been selected at time of import. If it has been imported incorrectly, remove the token and reimport.
