TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

WHAT’S IN THE BOX?

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 identifies such an attempt, all the front panel LED’s will flash 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 firmware.
  High Isolation on USB Channel 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.

INSTALLATION

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

1. iPGARD Secure PSS is compatible with standard personal/portable computers, servers or thin-clients, running operating systems such as Windows or Linux.
2. The peripheral devices that are supported by the KVM are listed in the following table:

INSTALLATION

Single-Head Units:

1. Ensure that power is turned off or disconnected from the unit and the computers.
2. Use a DVI cable to connect the DVI output port from each computer to the corresponding DVI- IN ports of the unit.
3. Use a USB cable (Type-A to Type-B) to connect a USB port on each computer to the respective USB ports of the unit.
4. Optionally connect a stereo audio cable (3.5mm to 3.5mm) to connect the audio output of the computers to the AUDIO IN ports 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. Optionally connect stereo speakers to the AUDIO OUT port of the unit.
7. Optionally connect CAC (COMMON ACCESS CARD, SMART CARD READER) to the CAC port in the user console interface.
8. Finally, power on the KVM by connecting a 12VDC power supply to the power connector, and then turn on all the computers.

Note : The computer connected to port 1 will always be selected by default after power up.
Note : You can connect up to 4 computers to the 4 port KVM.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS – For security reasons:

• This product does not support wireless devices. Do not attempt to use a wireless keyboard or a wireless mouse with this product.
• This product does not support keyboards with integrated USB hubs or USB ports. Only use standard (HID) USB keyboards with this device.
• This product does not support microphone audio input or line input. Do not connect any microphones or headsets with microphones to this device.
• Connection of authentication devices (CAC) with external power sources is prohibited.

EDID Learn:

• The monitors must be connected to the video output connectors located on the console at the back of the KVM during the EDID learn process.
• There are one way to get the EDID on the SA-DMN-4S-P.
  Note : Only the display connected to the “PREVIEW” connector can get its local EDID.

Through the buttons of the front panel:

Hold down Button #1 and Button #8 at the same time for about 5 seconds and then let go. The entire top row of LEDs will blink while waiting for any of the following three commands for EDID:

• Hold Button #1 and let go after both the top and bottom rows of LEDs are blinking. This will load the onboard EDID FHX2300 to the “DVI OUT” display.
• Hold Button #2 and let go after both the top and bottom rows of LEDs are blinking. This will load the onboard EDID H213H to the “DVI OUT” display.
• Hold Button #3 and let go after both the top and bottom rows of LEDs are blinking. This will get and load the local EDID of the monitor connected to the “PREVIEW” connector

CAC (COMMON ACCESS CARD, SMART CARD READER) INSTALLATION

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 specific 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.
