Resync the Hardware Token

If your Hardware Token is out of sync, you will see an error message when you attempt to use it to prescribe a controlled substance: Failed to Transmit Prescription(s) Your OTP has been entered incorrectly. Please re-type the OTP.

You may be able to resync the Hardware Token yourself from the Admin tab. If not, you will need to contact your EMR.

Contact your EMR to Resync the Hardware Token

Always try to resync the Hardware Token yourself first. If this is unsuccessful, contact your EMR. You will need to provide the following information:

• Provider Full Name
• National Provider Identifier (NPI)
• Hardware Token Serial Number 
• Codes or Counter Numbers from the Hardware Token

The Hardware Token Serial Number determines how to access the Codes or Counter Numbers necessary to open a ticket with Exostar. Hardware Tokens with Serial Numbers starting with GAHE use Codes, while Hardware Tokens with Serial Numbers starting with GALH use Counter Numbers. 

Serial Number starts with GAHE:  Press and hold the Hardware Token button until it displays multiple zeros (000s) with a number/letter combination at the end. This is the first Code. Repeat the process for the second Code. You will need to provide both Codes.

Serial Number starts with GALH: Press the Hardware Token button to display the six-digit OTP. Press and hold the button until it displays the letters "ctr" and a number. This is the first Counter Number. Press and hold the button until the screen goes blank. Repeat the first two steps for the second Counter Number. Counter Numbers will be sequential.  You will need to provide both Counter Numbers.
