SECURITY FEATURES
Advanced Single Port DVI-I Secure KVM 4
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 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.

2. Use a DVI cable to connect the DVI output port from the computer to the DVI-I IN port of the
unit.
3. Use a USB cable (Type-A to Type-B) to connect a USB port on the computer to the USB port of
the unit.
4. Optionally connect a stereo audio cable (3.5mm to 3.5mm) to connect the audio output of the
computer to the AUDIO IN port of the unit.
5. Connect a monitor to the DVI-I OUT console port of the unit using a DVI cable.
6. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse in the two USB console ports.
7. Optionally connect stereo speakers to the AUDIO OUT port of the unit.
8. Optionally connect CAC (COMMON ACCESS CARD, SMART CARD READER) to the CAC port in
the user console interface.

INSTALLATION (Continued)
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
LED will begin to ash for about 10 seconds. When the LED stops ashing, the EDID learn process is done.
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.
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 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 the
computer.
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/KM 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/KM
and wait until the KVM /KM is reading the new peripheral information.
8. The KVM/KM will list the information of the connected peripheral on the screen and buzz 3 times when
registration is completed.
