After AirCard Runtime is installed, the icon of connected AirCard cards appears in Windows notification area. If no card is connected or connection to Axidian AirCard Enterprise Server is not established, the icon is of gray colour. If at least one card is connected, the icon is of red colour.
A card can be connected in two ways:
- Connection via Axidian CertiFlow. A card issued by user is automatically connected to allowed computers, if they are within the enterprise corporate network.
- Connection via Axidian AirCard Enterprise Control Panel. This method is used when a card cannot be connected to a PC automatically (this is the case, when the latter is beyond the enterprise corporate network, for example). In this situation, a user has to add the card issued by operator manually via Axidian AirCard Enterprise application.
You can view the cards, connected automatically, in the control panel of Axidian AirCard Enterprise by clicking the corresponding icon in Windows notification area. The Active Smartcards section displays the cards connected to the workstation automatically. An ID (serial number) is indicated for each of those. This value is also displayed in Axidian CertiFlow services.
To add an AirCard card and connect it to workstation open the Axidian AirCard Enterprise Control Panel, click and then click . Enter the Code received from the operator who issued the card and click Add. A code is valid for one hour and can be used only once. The AirCard server address is filled in automatically.
After an AirCard is added, it appears in the control panel. To remove a card, click and confirm the action.
