Chapter 1 - Introduction

The IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch series is NIAP ^1 -certified and compliant with NIAP PP 4.0 (Protection Profile for Peripheral Sharing Device version 4.0) ^2 requirements, satisfying the latest security requisites set by the U.S. Department of Defense for peripheral sharing devices. Compliance ensures maximum information security while sharing a single set of keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, and CAC (Common Access Card) Reader ^3 between multiple computers. Conformity with Protection Profile v4.0 certifies that only a keyboard and a mouse are accommodated, other USB peripherals cannot be connected to the console ports of the Secure KVM; therefore, providing high-level security, protection and data safekeeping.

The IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch provides the utmost hardware and software security when switching port focus. Hardware security includes tamper-evident tapes, chassis intrusion detection, and tamper-proof hardware. Software security includes restricted USB connectivity, meaning non-HIDs (Human Interface Devices) or nonpredefined CAC/HIDs are ignored when switching. This security includes channel isolation per port and automatic clearing of the keyboard and mouse buffer when switching port focus, making it impossible for data to be leaked or transferred between secure and unsecure computers.

By combining physical security with controlled USB connectivity and controlled unidirectional data flow from devices to connected computers only, the IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch series offers the means to consolidate multiple workstations of various security classification levels with one keyboard, one video monitor, and one mouse (KVM) console.

Administrative Functions

To be compliant with Protection Profile 4.0 while providing higher deployment flexibility, wider product support for new authentication devices, and maximum security, the IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch offers Port Authentication Utility. IOGEAR Port Authentication Utility allows authorized administrators to configure IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch to either accept or reject specific USB devices. Through a secured access and authentication process, authorized administrators can perform log data auditing, the Secure KVM Switch configuration, and configurable device filtering through the Port Authentication Utility.

Note:

1. The National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) is a United States government initiative to meet the security testing needs of IT consumers and manufacturers. NIAP is operated by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
2. IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch series additionally satisfied Protection Profile version 4.0 for Peripheral Sharing Device (PSD).
3. USB 1.1 for keyboard, mouse connections, and USB 2.0 for CAC reader connection.

Powering On

When powering on, resetting, or power cycling IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch, the switch will perform a self-test to check the unit's integrity and security functions.

During the self-test

☒ All Port LEDs, all CAC LEDs (if supported), Num Lock LED, Caps Lock LED, and scroll lock LED on the IOGEAR Secure KVM will turn ON and then OFF
☒ The KVM Switch focus will be switched to Port 1 when the self-test completes successfully (Port 1 LED lights bright orange)

Self-test failure

In case of a self-test failure, IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch becomes inoperable. Front panel LED combinations light up, indicating the potential cause to the failure (such as button jam or KVM integrity compromise):

☒ A pre-defined combination of Port and CAC LED indicates the cause to the failure.
☒ If all front panel LEDs on IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch (except for Power LED) flash continuously, then either KVM tampering is detected or a self-test failure has occurred (except for Pushbutton jam; see below)
☒ If Pushbutton jam is detected, both the Port and CAC LEDs will flash

For security, IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch becomes inoperable if self-test fails. Please verify your KVM installation, pushbuttons, and power cycle the Secure KVM Switch again if this should happen. If the self-test failure remains, stop using the Secure KVM Switch immediately, remove it from service, and contact your IOGEAR dealer.

After the IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch is powered on and ready, power on your computers. By default, the IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch will switch to Port 1 after a successful self-test.

IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch filters and emulates both the mouse and keyboard on each port after the unit is powered on. If the keyboard, mouse, monitor, or Smart Card / CAC reader fails to operate properly, make sure that only qualified and authorized peripherals are connected. Next, power off IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch and check all cable connections. Then, power the unit back on again.

Manual Switching

For increased security, IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch offers manual port-switching only. This is achieved by pressing the port selection pushbuttons located on the Secure KVM switch's front panel or presing the port selection pushbuttons located on the RPS' panel(if RPS is connected and aligned). Press and release a port selection pushbutton to bring the KVM focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port (see Port ID Numbering below). To meet maximum security and channel isolation requirements, the keyboard, mouse, video monitor, audio, and USB CAC reader ports will be switched together. The Selected Port LED lights bright orange (on Switch and/or RPS) to indicate that the computer attached to its corresponding port has the KVM focus (keyboard, mouse, monitor, audio, and CAC reader).

The PC that has the port focus on should be able to detect the peripherals after port switching. If the PC fails to detect the keyboard, mouse, or CAC reader:

• Please verify if you are using qualified Keyboard, Mouse, or CAC reader
• Please verify if your keyboard, mouse, or CAC reader has failed
• For USB CAC Card readers (USB authentication devices), please make sure that the USB CAC cable has been securely connected and the CAC function on the Secure KVM switch is enabled.
• Please verify if the USB CAC reader has been authorized for the corresponding port

Port ID Numbering

Each KVM port on IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch is assigned a port number (1-2 for 2-Port models; 1-4 for 4-Port models; 1-8 for 8-Port models). The port numbers are marked on the rear side of the switch. See Rear View section in this manual. The port ID of a computer is derived from the KVM port number to which it is connected.
