Working with the MDR
one completing the initial MDR configuration steps the MDR is ready for use
allowing simultaneous usage of a single smartcard with multiple PCs.
Smartcard Removal Behavior
Removing the smartcard from the MDR immediately de-associates the MDR
from all coupled PCs. as a result, smartcard-aware applications will notice the
smartcard absence and respond accordingly.
for example, a Windows PC that is configured to require smartcards for user
logon may be set to lock the user’s desktop once the smartcard is removed.
Re-associating the MDR after Smartcard Removal
In order to continue using the smartcard (after it’s been removed from the MDR),
the user has to insert the smartcard into the MDR and complete steps 7-9 in order
to re-associated the MDR with all the corresponding PCs.
De-associating the MDR from a Specific PC
long pressing a PC Number button is the equivalent of removing the smartcard
only from the PC which corresponds to that button without effecting other
associated PCs. To re-associate that PC with the MDR, press the PC Number
button to initialize the MDR (as described in step 7).
The de-association option is useful in any case a user wants to de-associate the
MDR from a specific PC, without interfering with other PCs which are associated
with the MDR.
for example, when a user has to lock PC#1 by removing the smartcard yet remain
logged-on to PC#2, or when a certain PC is not successfully associated with the
MDR and the user wants to re-associate it.
