Connect to a Smart Card Reader

The viewer user can insert and remove smart cards as required after a smart card reader is connected.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to the Remote Control viewer, click Connect Smart Card in the Sessions context menu, or click the Smart Card toolbar button.

   If more than one smart card reader is installed, the Select a Smart Card Reader to Connect dialog appears.

2. Select the smart card reader that you want to use to connect to the remote host computer.

   To indicate that the smart card reader is connected, the viewer GUI changes the Disconnect Smart Card menu option is enabled and the corresponding tool bar button is depressed (checked state).

3. Insert your smart card.

   Applications on the host computer receive the insertion event in the same way they would if a smart card were inserted locally.
