The Kramer RS40N-4 provides smart-card access across 4 connected computer environments. Channel selection and status indicators help an operator manage authentication at a multi-domain workstation.
RS40N-4 Detailed Features
- Use one smart card across connected environments. The reader supports 4 computer environments at a multi-domain workstation. It helps consolidate authentication hardware where one operator needs access to several separate systems.
- Prepare the card for the intended systems. The smart card must contain the credentials required by the connected environments. The reader does not create user accounts or replace the authentication configuration of the computers.
- Select and identify computer channels. Numbered channel controls and status indications help the operator manage the reader connections. Match the numbered cables to the corresponding computers during installation.
- Respond to physical card removal. Connected systems can detect removal and apply their configured response, such as locking or logging off. The actual behavior is defined by each computer’s administrator.
- Reduce duplicate readers on the desktop. Consolidating the supported authentication connections can reduce the number of readers and separate card actions at one workstation. This is useful when an operator repeatedly moves between environments.
- Commission each endpoint separately. Confirm the smart-card middleware, credentials, and removal behavior on every connected computer. Compatibility depends on the entire authentication arrangement, not only the presence of a USB port.
