    OK. 3.1.2 Configuration of Fixed Printer Name Mode To add a new OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder device in Fixed Printer Name Mode select the Use Printer Name option, select a Printer Name from the drop-down list and click OK.
  • Page 12: Configuration Of Dynamic Ip Address Mode

    To add a new OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder device in Dynamic IP Address Mode select the Use Dynamic IP Configuration option and click OK. In this mode the IP Address or Printer Name will be specified at the time that the encoder session is established.
  • Page 13: Device Display For Fixed Printer Name Mode

    OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder User Guide, L001436, Rev. 2.0 For a device instance configured in Fixed IP Address Mode the display will appear as shown below, where the fixed IP Address is displayed above the current encoder selection. The Encoder Device Name String OMNIKEY 5x21 LAN B1234567 0 in the example above, will contain the associated Printer Serial Number (B1234567) and the Instance Enumeration Index value (0).

    Encoder Device Name String as in the previous two modes. When using the Dynamic IP Address Mode, it may be desirable to install multiple OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder device instances on a single server or workstation, with each device instance configured in this mode.
  • Page 15 OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder User Guide, L001436, Rev. 2.0 However, rather than embedding the associated Printer Serial Number (which currently is not available) in the Encoder Device Name String the utility will display a “temporary” Printer Serial Number equal to “Z9999999. This special Printer Serial Number will subsequently indicate to the user that the device has not been completely configured.
  • Page 16: Omnikey 5121 Ethernet Encoder Device Management

    Management of a previously installed OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder device is done using the Encoder menu of the OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder Utility. Within the main dialog of the utility application is the Select Encoder drop-down list. This drop-down list will display all OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder devices installed on the current server or workstation.
  • Page 17: Edit Selected Encoder

    The Restart Selected Encoder menu option allows the user to manually restart the driver associated with the selected OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder device. A restart of the driver is required whenever the device configuration information is changed. This restart enables the driver to update its internal resources and report relevant configuration changes to the Microsoft Windows Smart Card Resource Manager.
