Belkin® Secure 2/4 port DisplayPort KVM Switch User Manual
Thank you for purchasing this Belkin Secure DisplayPort 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 DisplayPort 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.

Belkin® Secure 2/4 port DisplayPort KVM Switch User Manual
The Belkin Secure DisplayPort KVM is the most advanced and
secure commercially available KVM Switch available today. Below is a
summary of all the security features incorporated into the Switch.
Protected DisplayPort Channel
Belkin Secure DisplayPort KVM switch includes safety mechanisms
to protect DisplayPort channels and preventing leakage of information
between connected computers and the DisplayPort display.
Dedicated Processors
The Switch features a dedicated processor per computer port. This
keeps each computer running on different security levels physically
separated and secure at all times, and prevents any unintended data
leakage between computers.
No Memory Buffer
The Switch does not have a memory buffer and does not have the
ability to store data. This prevents any keystrokes or other data
input from being unintentionally transferred when switching between
computers, ensuring the integrity of data.
Non-Reprogrammable Firmware
The Switch features custom firmware that is not reprogrammable,
preventing the ability to tamper with the KVM logic.
Unidirectional Data Paths
Optical diodes used in USB data paths provide high isolation and
prevent data leakage.
Heavy Duty Aluminum Enclosure
The Belkin Secure DisplayPort KVM uses one-piece aluminum
enclosure to protect the product from physical tampering and to
minimize radiated electromagnetic emissions that can be snooped or
intercepted.
Active Always-On Anti-Tampering
Active always-on chassis anti-tampering system prevents the Belkin
Secure DisplayPort KVM electronic circuitry from being accessed and
tampered with by permanently disabling the product once tampering
is detected.
Tamper-Evident Label
A holographic security tamper-evident label is placed on the
enclosure to provide a visual indication if the Switch has been opened
or compromised.

Tamper-Proof Hardware
All integrated circuits are soldered directly to the printed circuit board
to prevent tampering with the components.
Protected Display Information
Protected DDC/EDID emulation prevents software weaknesses that
can cause data leakage while maintaining compatibility with the
console display.
USB Device Detection
Storage and other unsafe USB devices are rejected when connected
to the Switch. Only mouse, keyboard, and CAC reader data are
passed through.
Secure Packaging
“Tear away” 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.
EAL 4+ Evaluation (Canada)
The Belkin Secure DisplayPort KVM switch was evaluated in Canada
to EAL 4+ level and is listed on the Common Criteria Portal
