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 Advanced 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.

User Guidance & Precautions

Please read the following User Guidance & Precautions carefully before using the product:

1.As product powers-up it performs a self-test procedure. In case of selftest failure for any reason, including jammed buttons, the product will be Inoperable. Self-test failure will be indicated by the following abnormal LED behavior:

a.All channel-select LEDs will be turned ON and then OFF;

b.A specific, predefined LED combination will be turned ON;

c.The predefined LED combination will indicate the problem type (jammed buttons, firmware integrity).

Try to power cycle product. If problem persists please contact your system administrator or technical support.

2.Product power-up and RFD behavior:

a.By default, after product power-up, the active channel will be computer #1, indicated by the applicable front panel push button LED lit.

b.Product Restore-to-Factory-Default (RFD) function is available via a physical control button on rear panel. Use a sharp object or paper clip to hold RFD button pressed for several seconds to initiate an RFD action.

c.RFD action will be indicated by front panel LEDs blinking all together.

d.When product boots after RFD, keyboard and mouse will be mapped to the active channel #1 and default settings will be restored, erasing all user-set definitions.

3.The appropriate usage of peripherals (e.g. keyboard, mouse, display, authentication device) is described in detail in this User Manual’s appropriate sections. Do not connect any authentication device with an external power source to product.

4.For security reasons products do not support wireless keyboards and mice. In any case do not connect wireless keyboard/mouse to product.

5.For security reasons products do not support microphone/line-in audio input. In any case do not connect a microphone to product audio output port, including headsets.

6.Product is equipped with an always-on active anti-tampering system. Any attempt to open product enclosure will activate the anti-tamper system indicated by all channel-select LEDs flashing continuously. In this case, product will be inoperable and warranty void. If product enclosure appears disrupted or if all channelselect LEDs flash continuously, please remove product from service immediately and contact technical support.

7.In case a connected device is rejected in the console port group the user will have the following visual indications:

a.When connecting a non-qualified keyboard, the keyboard will be non-functional with no visible keyboard strokes on screen when using the keyboard.

b.When connecting a non-qualified mouse, the mouse will be non-functional with mouse cursor frozen on screen.

c.When connecting a non-qualified display, the video diagnostic LED will flash green and video will not work.

d.When connecting a non-qualified USB device, CAC LED will flash green and USB device will be inoperable.

Security Features

Product is designed, manufactured and delivered in security-controlled environments. Below is a summary of the main advanced features incorporated in product:

Advanced isolation between computers and shared peripherals

The emulations of keyboard, mouse and display EDID, prevent direct contact between computers and shared peripherals. Product design achieves maximal security by keeping the video path separate with keyboard and mouse switched together, purging keyboard buffer when switching channels. All these features contribute to strong isolation between computer interfaces, maintained even when product is powered off.

Unidirectional data flow: USB, audio and video

Unique hardware architecture components prevent unauthorized data flow, including:

•Optical unidirectional data flow diodes in the USB data path that filtrate and reject unqualified USB devices;

•Secure analog audio diodes that prevent audio eavesdropping with no support for microphone or any other audio-input device;

•Video path is kept separate from all other traffic, enforcing unidirectional native video flow. EDID emulation is done at power up and blocks all EDID/MCCS writes. For DisplayPort video, filtration of AUX channel exists to reject unauthorized transactions.

Isolation of power domains

Complete isolation of power domains prevents signaling attacks.

Secure administrator access & log functions

Product incorporates secure administrator access and log functions to provide auditable trail for all product security events, including battery backup life for anti-tampering and log functions. Non-reprogrammable firmware prevents the ability to tamper with product logic.

Always-on, active anti-tamper system

Active anti-tampering system prevents malicious insertion of hardware implant such as wireless key-logger inside product enclosure. Any antitampering attempt causes isolation of all computers and peripheral devices rendering product inoperable and showing clear indications of tampering event to user.

Holographic security tamper-evident labels are placed on the enclosure to provide a clear visual indication if product has been opened or compromised.

Metal enclosure is designed to resist mechanical tampering with all microcontrollers protected against firmware-read, modification and rewrite.

evident labels to provide visual indications in case of enclosure intrusion attempt.

If for any reason the tamper evident seal is missing, appears disrupted, or looks different than the example shown here, please avoid using product and call Belkin Technical Support at: [phone].

Active Anti-Tampering System

Belkin Secure Switch is equipped with an always-on active anti-tampering system. If mechanical intrusion

is detected by this system, the Switch will be permanently disabled and LED will blink continuously.

If product indication tampered state (all LEDs blinking) - please call Technical Support and avoid using that product

Product Enclosure Warning Label

Belkin Secure Switch has the following warning printed next to the location of the product Asset Tag and Tamper Evident labels on product enclosure:
