SECURITY FEATURES
Anti-Tamper Switches
Each model is equipped with internal Anti-Tamper switches, which sense attempts to open the device
enclosure. Once the system identies such an attempt, all the front panel LED’s will ash rapidly, the
internal buzzers will beep, and the unit will become useless by shutting off connection with all attached
PCs and peripherals disabling any functionality.
Tamper-Evident Seal
The enclosure of the unit is protected with a tamper-evident seal to provide a visual evidence if the unit has
been opened.
Protected Firmware
The controller of the unit has a special protection feature that prevents reprogramming or reading the
rmware.
High Isolation on USB Channels
Opto-isolators are used in the unit to keep USB data paths electrically isolated from each other, providing
high isolation and preventing data leakage between ports.
Secure EDID Emulation
The unit prevents unwanted and unsecure data to be transmitted through the DDC lines by means of
secure EDID learning and emulation.
Self-Test
A self-test is performed each times the KVM is powered on as part of its boot-up sequence. If the KVM
starts up correctly and is functional, the self-test has passed. However, if all Front Panel LED’s are on and
not ashing, the power up self-test has failed and all functions are disabled. Check if any of the front panel
port selection buttons are jammed. In this case, release the jammed button and recycle the power.

EDID Learn:
The KVM is designed to learn the connected monitor’s EDID upon power up. In the event of connecting
a new monitor to the KVM, a power recycle is required.
The KVM will indicate to the user the EDID learn process by ashing the front panel’s LEDs. Port one
green and push button blue LEDs will both begin to ash for about 10 seconds. When the LEDs stop
ashing, the EDID learn process is done.
If the KVM has more than one video board (such as dual-head and quad-head models), then the unit
will continue to learn the EDIDs of the connected monitors and indicate the progress of the process by
ashing the next port selection green and push button blue LEDs respectively.
The monitor must be connected to the video output connector located in the console space at the back
of the KVM during the EDID learn process.
If the read EDID from the connected monitor is identical to the current stored EDID in the KVM then the
EDID learn function will be skipped.

CAC (COMMON ACCESS CARD, SMART CARD READER) INSTALLATION
CAC PORT CONFIGURATION
The following steps are intended for the system administrator or IT manager only.
If you have the optional CAC ports there will be 4 ports on a 4 host ports KVM.
CAC connection to the computer requires a USB cable connection separate from the keyboard and mouse.
This allows the CAC to be connected independently from the keyboard and mouse. It also allows the user to
select whether CAC for a certain computer is supported or not.
1. Ensure that power is turned off or disconnected from the unit and the computer.
2. Use a USB cable (Type-A to Type-B) to connect a USB port on a computer to its respective CAC USB
ports on the KVM. Do not connect the USB cable if CAC functionality is not needed for that computer.
3. Connect a CAC (smart card reader) to the CAC port in the user console interface.
4. Power on the KVM by connecting a 12VDC power supply to the power connector, and then turn on all
the computers.
5. To disable CAC for any channel (all CAC ports are enabled as default), use the front panel buttons to
switch the KVM to the channel whose CAC mode you wish to change. Once the channel is selected, the
button LED for this specic channel should be on (CAC port enabled). Press and hold the button for 3
seconds until the button LED turns off. The CAC port is now disabled for this channel.
6. To enable CAC for any channel, use the front panel buttons to switch the KVM to the channel whose
CAC mode you wish to change. Once the channel is selected, the button LED for this specic channel
should be off (CAC port disabled). Press and hold the button for 3 seconds until the button LED turns
on. The CAC port is now enabled for this channel. An active session on a computer is terminated upon
removal of the CAC device.
Note: The open session will be immediately terminated upon the removal of the registered CAC device.
The following steps are intended for the system administrator and operators (users).
Note: Only one computer connected to port 1 is required for this operation
CAC port Conguration is an optional feature, allowing registration of any USB peripheral to operate with
the KVM. Only one peripheral can be registered and only the registered peripheral will operate with the
KVM. By default, when no peripheral is registered, the KVM will operate with any Smart Card Reader.
Congure the CAC Port via User Menu Options
1. Open the Administration and Security Management Program.
2. Using the keyboard, press the Alt key twice and type “cnfg”.
3. At this stage the mouse connected to the KVM
will stop functioning.
4. Enter the default username “user” and press Enter.
5. Enter the default password “12345” and press
Enter.
6. Select option 2 from the menu on your screen and
press Enter.
7. Connect the peripheral device to be registered to
the CAC USB port in the console side of the
KVM and wait until the KVM is reading the
new peripheral information.
8. The KVM will list the information of the
connected peripheral on the screen and buzz
3 times when registration is completed.
