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 LEDs will flash rapidly, the internal buzzers will beep, and the unit will become useless by shutting off the 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 visual evidence showing 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 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 EDIT EMULATION
The unit prevents unwanted and unsecure data from transmitting through the DDC lines by means of secure EDID learning and emulation.
SELF-TEST
A self-test is performed each time 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 LEDs are on and not flashing, 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.

EDIT 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, power recycling is required.
The KVM will indicate to the user the EDID learn the process by flashing the front panel’s LEDs. Port one green and push-button blue LEDs will both begin to flash for about 10  seconds. When the LEDs stop flashing, the EDID learning 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 flashing 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 the 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
The following steps are intended for the system administrator or IT manager only.
If you have the optional CAC ports there will be 2 ports on a 2 host ports KVM, 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.
