FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
• What is the difference between a DCU and a KVM?
KVMs are designed to switch between active computers, allowing the user to only see and manage one
target device at a time. The Secure DCU controls the KVM remotely. The computers, mouse, keyboard
and displays all connect to the KVM, but the DCU controls the KVM’s functions. The Secure DCU
sits on the user’s desktop, but the Secure KVM can be up to 50 ft. away from user access, protecting
critical resources.
• When should a Belkin Secure DCU be used?
A Secure DCU should be used when performance and
reduced operator error are important. A quick glance shows the active channel. The user changes
channels with a simple push of a button.
The Secure DCU also provides additional security. All computer hardware, connections and
communication can be located up to 50 ft. away from the user, who can only access the keyboard,
mouse, display and Secure DCU.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
• How many computers can I control?
Belkin Secure DCU models F1DN002R can control up to 4 computers. Model F1DN003R can control up
to 16 computers. F1DN002/3R can connect to 1 Secure KVM
and to 1 Secure USB Switch.
• How far can the Secure DCU be from the Secure KVM?
The Belkin Secure DCU connects to the Secure KVM using a special 6 ft. or 50 ft. cable.
• Are Belkin DCUs as secure as Belkin KVM Switches?
Yes, they create an even more secure environment than Secure KVMs alone. The Belkin Secure DCU
complements the award winning Belkin Secure KVM product line, and is equipped with the same high security
features: Active Always-On Anti-Tampering, Heavy-Duty Tamper-Resistant Enclosure, Tamper Evident Label,
USB Port Protection, Non- Reprogrammable Firmware, and more. Isolating the working environment from the
KVM and its connected computers provides extra protection to critical computing resources.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
• Does the Belkin Secure DCU require software drivers?
No. The Belkin Secure DCUs do not connect to any computers. They only connect to Belkin Secure
KVMs and Secure USB Switch.
• Can I use a Secure DCU with multiple-display computers?
Yes. The Belkin Secure DCU can connect to any of Belkin’s Secure KVM, KM and Windowing KVM
switch.
