SECURITY FEATURES

Anti-Tamper Switches

Each model is equipped with internal Anti-Tamper switches, which sense attempts to open the device enclosure. Once the system identifies such an attempt, all the front panel LED's will flash rapidly and the unit will become useless by shutting off connection with all attached PCs and peripherals disabling any functionality.

Tamper-Evident Seal

The enclosure of the unit is protected with a tamper-evident seal to provide a visual evidence if the unit has been opened.

Protected Firmware

The controller of the unit has a special protection feature that prevents reprogramming or reading the firmware.

High Isolation on USB Channels

Opto-isolators are used in the unit to keep USB data paths electrically isolated from each other, providing high isolation and preventing data leakage between ports.

Secure EDID Emulation

The unit prevents unwanted and unsecure data to be transmitted through the DDC lines by means of secure EDID learning and emulation.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS - For security reasons:

• This product does not support wireless devices. Do not attempt to use a wireless keyboard or a wireless mouse with this product.
• This product does not support keyboards with integrated USB hubs or USB ports. Only use standard (HID) USB keyboards with this device.
• This product does not support microphone audio input or line input. Do not connect any microphones or headsets with microphones to this device.
• Connection of authentication devices (CAC) with external power sources is prohibited.

INSTALLATION (Continued)

EDID Learn:

The Secure KVM Switch is designed to learn the connected monitor's EDID upon power up. In the event of connecting a new monitor to the Secure KVM Switch, a power recycle is required.

The Secure KVM Switch will indicate to the user the EDID learn process by flashing the front panel's server signal.

The monitor must be connected to the video output connector "1" located in the console space at the back of the Secure KVM Switch during the EDID learn process.

If the read EDID from the connected monitor is identical to the current stored EDID in the Secure KVM Switch then the EDID learn function will be skipped.

CAC (COMMON ACCESS CARD, SMART CARD READER) INSTALLATION

The following steps are intended for the system administrator or IT manager only.

If you have the optional CAC ports there will be 2 ports on a 2 host ports KVM and 4 ports on a 4 host ports KVM.

CAC connection to the computer requires a USB cable connection separate from the keyboard and mouse. This allows the CAC to be connected independently from the keyboard and mouse. It also allows the user to select whether CAC for a certain computer is supported or not.

1. Ensure that power is turned off or disconnected from the unit and the computer.
2. Use a USB cable (Type-A to Type-B) to connect a USB port on a computer to its respective CAC USB ports on the KVM. Do not connect the USB cable if CAC functionality is not needed for that computer.
3. Connect a CAC (smart card reader) to the CAC port in the user console interface.
4. Power on the KVM by connecting a 12VDC power supply to the power connector, and then turn on all the computers.
5. To disable CAC for any channel (all CAC ports are enabled as default), use the front panel buttons to switch the KVM to the channel whose CAC mode you wish to change. Once the channel is selected, the button LED for this specific channel should be on (CAC port enabled). Press and hold the button for 3 seconds until the button LED turns off. The CAC port is now disabled for this channel.
6. To enable CAC for any channel, use the front panel buttons to switch the KVM to the channel whose CAC mode you wish to change. Once the channel is selected, the button LED for this specific channel should be off (CAC port disabled). Press and hold the button for 3 seconds until the button LED turns on. The CAC port is now enabled for this channel.

CAC PORT CONFIGURATION

The following steps are intended for the system administrator and operators (users).

Note: Only one computer connected to port 1 is required for this operation

CAC port Configuration is an optional feature, allowing registration of any USB peripheral to operate with the KVM. Only one peripheral can be registered and only the registered peripheral will operate with the KVM. By default, when no peripheral is registered, the KVM will operate with any Smart Card Reader.

Configure the CAC Port via User Menu Options

1. Open the Administration and Security Management Program.
2. Using the keyboard, press the Alt key twice and type "cnfg".
3. At this stage the mouse connected to the KVM/KM will stop functioning.
4. Enter the default username "user" and press Enter.
5. Enter the default password "12345" and press Enter.
6. Select option 2 from the menu on your screen and press Enter.
7. Connect the peripheral device to be registered to the CAC USB port in the console side of the KVM/KM and wait until the KVM/KM is reading the new peripheral information.
8. The KVM/KM will list the information of the connected peripheral on the screen and buzz 3 times when registration is completed.
