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 identies 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 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.

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 SDMN-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
INSTALLATION
The following steps are intended for the system administrator or IT manager only.
If you have the optional CAC ports there will be 1 port on a single host port Secure KVM Switch, 2 ports on a 2 host ports
Secure KVM Switch and 4 ports on a 4 host ports Secure KVM Switch. 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
Secure KVM Switch. 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 Secure KVM Switch 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 Secure
KVM Switch to the channel whose CAC mode you wish to change. Once the channel is selected, the button LED for this
specic 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 Secure KVM Switch to the channel whose CAC
mode you wish to change. Once the channel is selected, the button LED for this specic channel should be off (CAC
port disabled). Press and hold the button for 3 seconds until the button LED turns on. The CAC port is now enabled for
this channel.
CAC PORT CONFIGURATION
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 Conguration is an optional feature, allowing registration of any USB peripheral to operate with the Secure KVM
Switch. Only one peripheral can be registered and only the registered peripheral will operate with the Secure KVM Switch.

press Enter.
7. Connect the peripheral device to be registered to
the CAC USB port in the console side of
the Secure KVM Switch and wait until
the Secure KVM Switch is reading the new
peripheral information.
