4/8 Ports High Security KM Switch
Models:
K304 – 4 Ports High Security KM Switch
K304E – 4 Ports High Security KM Switch with fUSB
K308 – 8 Ports High Security KM Switch
Overview
HSL Secure KM Switch enables users to simultaneously operate four or eight computers,
each with its own displays, using a single set of keyboard and mouse. The user can easily
switch between computers and displays by simply moving the cursor from one display
to an other.
For proper use, the HSL Secure KM Switch must be configured correctly according to the
actual placement of the displays, relative to each other.
This guide instructs how to install and configure the relative location of the displays to
match their physical locations.
There are two ways to configure the HSL Secure KM Switch with the actual display setup:
• Select one of the predefined setups
• Create and load a custom configuration file

Advanced Setup
If none of the preset configurations fit your display setup, you can create a custom
configuration and load it to the KM, which can be done on a separate computer not
connected to the KM Switch.
Creating and loading the custom configuration is a 2-step process:
• On a separate computer, create a custom configuration
• Load the configuration to the KM Switch
Step 1 – Create a Custom Display Configuration
Note: To define a new conf iguration file, you will ne ed to know the resolutio n and size of
every disp lay, along with the co ordinates of every secon dary display (on a computer that
has more than on e display connected to it). See Display Resolution and Coordinates
for instruc tion on how to get the resolution and coordinates of each display.
1.1 On a separate computer, install the KM Admin Setup, which installs the K MC
Creator and KMC Loader applications. (Link: http://www.highseclabs.com/
Resources/Software%20Downloads/HSL_KM_Adminsetup.zip)
1.2 Open KMC Creator.
1.3 Click N ew Project to create a new configuration.
1.4 In the KM Projec t Setup dialog, enter the

field. If th e computer is connected to mul tiple
displays, set and note the resolution of the
primary (main) and secondary displays.
3.4 Move the secondary display relative to
the primary display, as they are physically
located, and note the coordinates.
Note: If the HSL Secure KM Switch does not work properly, or the configuration
procedure is unclear or does not work, contact HSL support at +972 - 4 - 9591191
If none of the preset display conf igurations fits your display setup, go to
