INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this Belkin Advanced Secure Keyboard/Mouse (K/M)
Switch. This KM Switch is designed for use in secure environments across wide
security gaps. This product provides the highest security safeguards and features,
meeting current and future cyber prevention requirements.
This User Manual provides all the details you’ll need to install and operate your new
product, and also to troubleshoot it in the unlikely event of a problem.
What is a KM (Keyboard / Mouse) Switch?
There are many cases where one user needs to work simultaneously with more
than one computer. In some cases users have multiple displays attached to multiple
computers. The challenge is how a single user can interact with multiple computers
with multiple displays each. KVMs are not suitable for these users as they are
designed to switch displays; allowing the user to only see and manage one target
device at a given time. Using the Belkin Secure KM users can see all the connected
computers at the same time and easily decide on which computer they may want
to work on.
A KM switch is a device that switches a single keyboard and mouse between multiple
computers. A KM switch is essentially a KVM switch without the video switching -
all displays are continuously connected to their respective computers; so that all
connected devices can be managed seamlessly, in real time. Multiple displays can
be connected to each computer that is connected to the Belkin Secure KM. The
Belkin Secure KM is designed to have up to 4 computers connected and working
simultaneously in a wide array of monitor presets.
The Belkin Secure KM supports Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems.
Switching is done simply by holding down the left control key (Ctrl) and dragging
your mouse from one monitor to another having it disappearing from one machine
and appearing on another. Multi displays connected to the same computers are only
supported by Windows based operating systems. Note-No audio is supported in
either model.

OVERVIEW
Security Features
Product is designed, manufactured and delivered in security-controlled environments.
Below is a summary of the main advanced features incorporated in product:
Advanced Isolation Between Computers and Shared Peripherals
The emulations of keyboard and mouse prevent direct contact between computers
and shared peripherals. Product design achieves maximal security by keeping the
video path separate with keyboard and mouse switched together, purging keyboard
buffer when switching channels. All these features contribute to strong isolation
between computer interfaces, maintained even when product is powered off.
Unidirectional Data Flow: USB
Unique hardware architecture components prevent unauthorized data flow, including:
• Optical unidirectional data flow diodes in the USB data path that filtrate and
reject unqualified USB devices;
Anti-Tamper System
This product is equipped with a holographic security tape anti-tamper system. Any
attempt to open the enclosure will destroy the anti-tamper tape. If the unit’s enclosure
appears disrupted, please call Belkin Technical Support toll-free at [phone].
Holographic security tamper-evident labels are placed on the enclosure to provide a
clear visual indication if product has been opened or compromised.
Secure Packaging
Security taped packaging ensures secure delivery of the Switch as it is routed to the end
user. The recyclable packaging also breaks down flat, simplifying the cleanup process.
LED Indicators
Each port button number illuminates to indicate that the console currently controls
the corresponding computer. As a port selector is pushed, or if the mouse cursor
crosses between displays associated to different computers or networks, the LED
number will light up.
