Belkin Modular Secure KVM Switch
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this Belkin Secure Modular KVM. This Switch is designed
for use in secure environment installations. The Switch offers safe centralized
control, which prevents unintended data transfer between computers running at
different security levels. The Switch provides the highest security safeguards and
features that meet today’s Information Assurance (IA) computing requirements.
Belkin Secure Modular KVM is especially challenging in terms of security as
DisplayPort is a very robust protocol by nature, which is capable of transferring
various types of information, such as USB and Ethernet other than display. Belkin
has developed this unique Secure KVM switch with the highest possible security in
mind, assuring no leakage of information between connected computers through
any channels including DP dedicated channels.
This User Manual provides all the details you’ll need to install and operate your
new Switch, in addition to expert troubleshooting advice— in the unlikely event of
a problem.
Please Note: Belkin Secure KVMs cannot be upgraded, serviced or repaired.

Belkin Modular Secure KVM Switch
OVERVIEW
Security Features
The 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, mouse and display EDID, 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 the 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, Audio and Video
A 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;
• Secure digital audio prevents audio eavesdropping with no support for
microphone or any other audio-input device;
• Video path is kept separate from all other traffic, enforcing unidirectional
native video flow. EDID emulation is done at power up and blocks all EDID/
MCCS writes. For DisplayPort video, filtration of AUX channel exists to reject
unauthorized transactions.
Isolation of Power Domains
Complete isolation of power domains prevents signaling attacks.
Secure Administrator Access & Log Functions
The product incorporates secure administrator access and log functions to provide
auditable trail for all product security events.
Anti-Tamper System
Holographic security tamper-evident labels are placed on the enclosure to provide a
clear visual indication if product has been opened or compromised.

INSTALLATION
Connection and Installation
Step 1 – Connecting the Console to the Switch
Warning: Before attempting to connect anything to the Switch or your computers,
please ensure that all computer equipment and devices are powered off.
Connect your monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speaker to the rear of the Switch in the
“User Console” section.
Notes:
1. Console USB keyboard and mouse ports are switchable, i.e. you can connect
keyboard to mouse port and vice versa. However, for optimal operation it is
recommended to connect USB keyboard to console USB keyboard port and
USB mouse to console USB mouse port.
2. For security reasons products do not support wireless keyboards. In any
case do not connect wireless keyboard to product.
3. Non-standard keyboards, such as keyboards with integrated USB hubs and
other USB-integrated devices, may not be fully supported due to security
policy. If they are supported, only classical keyboard (HID) operation will be
functional. It is recommended to use standard USB keyboards.
4. Console USB mouse port supports Standard KVM Extender composite
device having a keyboard/mouse functions.
Step 2 – Power Up
2.1 Turn the monitor on.
2.2 Power up the Belkin Secure Modular KVM by connecting the power. The display
diagnostic LEDs should be solid green a few seconds after power up. This indicates
the display EDID information has been captured and secured.

INSTALLATION
Step 3 – Connecting the Computers
3.1 Using integrated cables, connect each computer to the 1-8 port in “computer
interface ports” area on product.
3.2 If computer uses audio output, e.g., speakers/headphones, audio will flow through
the video connection.
3.3 Connect the corresponding video connectors to the computer video outputs
Note:
1. If the number of product channels is larger than the number of sources used,
make sure the computers are connected in a row starting from computer #1.
For example, if there are 3 channels used, connect computers to channels #1,
#2 and then #3.
2. The USB cable must be connected directly to a free USB port on the
computer, with no USB hubs or other devices in between.
Step 4 – Powering up the Computers
Power up all the attached computers and check for display and peripheral
functionality. All computers can be powered on simultaneously.
Note: Your computers should recognize the Switch and automatically install the
HID USB driver if necessary.
When you power on your computers, the Switch emulates both a mouse and
keyboard on each port and allows your computers to boot normally. The computer
connected to port “1” will be displayed on the monitor. Check to see that the
keyboard, monitor, and mouse are working normally. Proceed to do this with all
occupied ports to verify that all computers are connected and responding correctly.
If you encounter an error, check your cable connections for that computer and
reboot. If the problem persists, please refer to the Troubleshooting section in this
User Manual.

OPERATING THE KVM SWITCH
Selecting a Computer Using Port Selectors
Now that you have connected your console and computers to the Switch, it is
ready for use. You can select which computer you wish to control by pressing
the corresponding port selector on the front of the Switch. The LED number will
illuminate to indicate which computer (or port) is currently selected. Keyboard and
mouse inputs can only be sent to the selected computer, and video outputs can only
be received from the selected computer. The Switch also prevents any data transfer
between connected computers, ensuring the security of your computers.
Please note that the default port at power-up is port 1. In case of a power failure or
if the power is cycled, the Switch will default to port 1.
