OPERATION

Table of Contents

SECTIONS

12345674

Normal Secure DCU Operation

If the Belkin Secure DCU has already been configured, or it is operating in its default configuration, you can begin using it.

- Power up the Secure KVM. It should identify the connected Secure DCU and the configured channels appear on the display.

Note:

• F1DN001R: Channel 1 button lights
• F1DN002R: 4 channels appear on the display. Channel 1 appears as the active channel.

• F1DN003R: The first 4 channels appear on the display. Channel 1 appears as the active channel.

• On F1DN001R and F1DN002R, press the button of the channel that you want to activate.

• On F1DN003R, press the down button ( √) to scroll down the list of connected channels. Press the Select button to activate the selected channel.

Operation

Once the Secure KVM and the Belkin Secure DCU are properly installed and powered-up, they operate immediately with the factory default configuration. Once a custom configuration is loaded and applied, they restart and operate according to the new configuration. Channel 1 is the default channel after power up for all Belkin Secure KVMs. LED #1 on the Secure KVM's front panel and the Belkin Secure DCU display indicate the active channel.

The following example uses a 4-port Secure KVM to demonstrate the operation of the Belkin Secure DCU.

Note: Operation of F1DN002R model is similar to F1DN003R described here, but instead of the up/down and select push-buttons, use the four illuminated push-buttons to control the cursor location and state.

F1DN001R and F1DN002R are operated by simply pressing the illuminated buttons on the front panel of the Belkin Secure DCU. The illuminated push-buttons are a simple extension of front-panel push-buttons of the KVM and behave exactly the same.

Note: The front panel push-buttons of the Secure KVM switch are disabled when the Belkin Secure DCU is connected it.

Note: The Belkin Secure DCU does not operate if it is connected after the Secure KVM powered up and operating, or if it is momentarily disconnected and reconnected to the Secure KVM. The Secure KVM continues to work without interaction with the Belkin Secure DCU. The user can still operate the secure KVM using keyboard commands.

Normal operation with CAC

CAC indication appears on every channel in which CAC is enabled. To enable or disable CAC use the front panel sliders on the Secure KVM, as described in the Secure KVM User Manual.

CAC indication only appears on enabled channels when a CAC device is connected to the CAC port for those channels on the Secure KVM.

The following example uses a 4-Port Secure KVM with CAC enabled on computers 1 and 3.

- Default display after power up shows the active KVM channel is 1. CAC is enabled on channels 1 and 3.

- The CAC indicator next to the channel name flashes and then appears highlighted, showing that CAC is mapped to this channel.

• Selecting channel 2 will move the active channel to 2 but the CAC remains on channel 1, because CAC is not enabled on channel 2.
• Selecting channel 3 will move the active channel to 3 and the CAC to the same channel.

Note: Depending on the CAC configuration on the target computer, changing from a CAC enabled channel to a different channel, the CAC authorization may continue indefinitely, terminate after a timeout period, or terminate immediately.

Note: Leaving and returning to a channel that requires CAC authentication may require re-authorization.

Caution: Terminate all CAC authorized sessions when leaving secure computers unattended. Verify that CAC authorization is inactive and the CAC indicator for each channel is not highlighted.

OPERATION

Operation with 8/16 ports

The Belkin Secure DCU F1DN003R can connect to a Secure KVM switch with up to 16 ports.

Belkin Secure DCU operation is similar to 4-port operation except for the following:

1. The Belkin Secure DCU F1DN003R can list all the channels on the connected Secure KVM Switch, but can only display four channels at a time.
2. When scrolling down past channel 4, the list refreshes to list channels 5 through 8, and so on.

For example, the 8-port secure KVM highlights the operational differences.

- Press the Down button to scroll to channel 8. The display shows channels 5 through 8, without showing the currently active channel 1. The channel number and CAC status appear at the top of the CAC column.

- Scrolling down and selecting channel 8 shows it marked and fixed at the bottom of the list.

- Since channel 8 is not CAC enabled, CAC authorization freezes automatically and remains active on channel 1.
