NOTE: If the selected reader does not have a smart card, a message will display requesting you to
insert a card into the reader. If a reader is not detected, a message will display until a reader is detected.
Once a smart card has been mapped, the card will be displayed at the bottom of the Tools tab along with
a checkmark indicating it has been mapped. If supported by the target server, an icon may also be
displayed showing whether the smart card is mapped, not mapped or disabled.

recorders as it can record continuously and persistently.
