3.2.1 Edit Selected Encoder
The Edit Selected Encoder menu option allows the user to modify the current configuration of the
selected OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder device. When this option is selected the Encoder
Information screen is displayed, as shown below.
Click OK to accept the modified configuration information. The OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder
Utility will modify the current driver configuration and restart the selected device instance.
If the device instance has been configured in Fixed IP Address Mode or Fixed Printer Name Mode,
an attempt will be made to establish a temporary encoder session with the device, retrieve the
configuration information from the newly referenced device, and then automatically restart the
device a second time.
3.2.2 Restart Selected Encoder
The
Restart Selected Encoder
menu option allows the user to manually restart the driver
associated with the selected OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder device. A restart of the driver is
required whenever the device configuration information is changed. This restart enables the driver
to update its internal resources and report relevant configuration changes to the Microsoft
Windows Smart Card Resource Manager. A restart is also required immediately after the first
encoder session is established with a device configured in the Fixed IP Address Mode or the Fixed
Printer Name Mode.
Normally, these required device restarts are managed by the OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder
Utility and a manual device restart is not required. However, as discussed in Section 3.3.1 Failure to
Establish an Encoder Session , if the utility application fails to establish a temporary encoder
session and retrieve the device configuration information then the user will be required to
manually restart the device.
3.2.3 Delete Selected Encoder
The Delete Selected Encoder menu option allows the user to delete the selected OMNIKEY 5121
Ethernet Encoder device. Once deleted, the device will be removed from the Select Encoder
drop-down list and any reader(s) associated with the device will no longer be reported to the
Microsoft Windows Smart Card Resource Manager.
