OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder – Session Establish
Once an OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder device has been installed as detailed in the procedures
above it will be displayed in the
Select Encoder
drop-down list of the OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet
Encoder Utility. It will also be accessible via the Microsoft Windows Smart Card Resource Manager.
However, the associated smart card reader(s) will not be accessible until after an encoder session

Select Encoder
drop-down list
of the OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder Utility and then click
Connect
.
