Operation

One completing the initial MDR configuration steps the MDR is
ready for use allowing simultaneous usage of a single smart card
with multiple PCs.

Smart Card Removal Behavior

Removing the smart card from the MDR immediately de-associates
the MDR from all coupled PCs. As a result, smart card-aware
applications will notice the smart card absence and respond
accordingly.
For example, a Windows PC that is configured to require smart
cards for user logon may be set to lock the user's desktop once the
smart card is removed.
Re-associating the MDR after Smart card
Removal
In order to continue using the smart card (after it's been
removed from the MDR), the user has to insert the smart
card into the MDR and complete steps 6-9 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
smart card 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.

card 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.
