Congratulations and thank you for purchasing this Belkin OmniView Secure KVM
Switch (the Switch). Designed especially for secure military and government

transfer between classified and unclassified computers.
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. For quick and easy installation, please refer to the Quick Installation
Guide included in your packaging.

Overview
Security Features
• Dedicated Processors
Designed specifically for secure environments, the Switch features a
dedicated processor per computer port. This keeps each classified and
unclassified computer completely separated and secure at all times, and
prevents any unintended data transfer between computers.
• No Memory Buffer
The Switch does not have a memory buffer and does not have the ability
to store data. This prevents any keystrokes or other data input from being
unintentionally transferred as you switch between computers, ensuring the
integrity of your classified data. The Switch does not include any features that
require memory, such as hot keys, AutoScan, or an on-screen display (OSD).
• Non-Reprogrammable Firmware
The Switch features custom firmware that is not reprogrammable, preventing
the ability to tamper with the KVM logic.
• Tamper-Evident Tape
Tamper-evident tape is placed on both sides of the enclosure, to provide
indication if the Switch has been opened or compromised.
• Tamper-Proof Hardware
All integrated circuits are soldered directly to the printed circuit board to
prevent tampering with the components.
• NIAP Listing
The Switch is listed by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP),
and is pending NIAP Common Criteria validation to Evaluation Assurance
Level 4 (EAL 4).

Overview
Other Features
• USB Support
The Switch is compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 technology and supports
Plug-and-Play connectivity with USB computers, keyboards, and mice.
• Video Resolution
The Switch supports video resolutions of up to 1920x1440@75Hz.
• Dedicated Port Selectors
Port selectors, located conveniently on the front panel of the Switch, allow you
to switch easily from one computer to the next. Each button controls a single
computer port.
• LED Indicators
An LED above each port selector illuminates to indicate that the console
currently controls the corresponding computer. As a port selector is pushed,
the LED above it will light up.
• Metal Enclosure
The Switch features a rugged, metal enclosure that provides stability and
allows the Switch to be placed beneath your monitor or other desk item.
• Desktop or Rack-Mount Installation
With its compact design, the Switch can be placed on your desktop or
mounted to a standard 19-inch server rack for 1U installation.*
* The 2- and 4-Port Switches require an optional Rack-Mount Kit for rack installation
(Belkin part number F1D005).
