Thank you for purchasing this Belkin Advanced Secure Keyboard/

Mouse (K/M) Switch. This KM Switch is designed for use in secure environments across wide security gaps. This Secure KM Switch offers high security using optical data diodes on each channel.

Optical data diodes are used to prevent data transfer between connected computers running at different security levels. This product provides the highest security safeguards and features, meeting the cyber prevention requirements of today, and the future.

A KM switch is a device that switches a single keyboard and mouse between multiple computers. A KM switch is essentially a KVM switch without the video switching—all displays are continuously connected to their respective computers so that you can see and manage all connected devices seamlessly, in real time. Multiply displays can be connected to each computer that is connected to the Belkin Secure

KM. The Belkin Secure KM is designed to have up to eight computers connected and working simultaneously in any possible monitor setup.

The configuration of the Belkin Secure KM can be done by using the

KM presets or by using the easy-to-use configuration tool.

This User Manual provides all the details you’ll need to install and operate your new product, in addition to troubleshooting guidance, in the unlikely event of a problem.

What is a KM (Keyboard/Mouse) Switch?

There are many cases where one computer user needs to work simultaneously with few computers. In some cases users are having multiple displays attached to these multiple computers. The challenge is how a single user can interact with multiple computers having multiple displays. KVMs are not suitable for these users as they are designed to switch displays, allowing the user to only see and manage one target device at a given time. Using the Belkin Secure KM, users can see all the connected computers at the same time and easily decide on which computer they want to work.

Security Features

The Belkin Advanced Secure KM Switch is the most advanced and secure commercially available KM Switch available today. This product is a derivative of the high-security Belkin KVM products used in the many high-security government, defense and military organizations. A summary of all the security features incorporated into the Switch is listed below:

Unidirectional Data Paths

Optical diodes are used to enforce unidirectional data flow from the peripheral devices to computers, thus preventing potential leakage paths between computers, even in the severe threat of two infected computers attacking the KM.

No Cross Cabling, No Shared Resources

There are no cables connecting two computers. This product is designed to securely operate even when peripheral devices are vulnerable to signaling attacks.

Dedicated Processors

The Belkin Secure KM features a dedicated processor per computer port to emulate peripheral devices. This keeps each computer running on different security levels, physically separated and secure at all times, and prevents any unintended data leakage between computers even when computers are infected by malicious code.

USB Device Detection

Console USB ports are protected from the use of storage and other unsafe USB devices through strong filtering (independent of other computer protection means). Unqualified devices are rejected when connected to the Belkin Secure KM. Only mouse and keyboard data are passed through.

Non-Reprogrammable Firmware/Non-Serviceable Hardware

The Switch features custom firmware that is not reprogrammable, preventing the ability to tamper with the KM logic.

Note: Belkin Secure KVMs cannot be upgraded, serviced, or repaired.

Heavy-Duty Enclosure

The Belkin Secure KM Switch uses a one-piece aluminum enclosure

(for the F1DN104K model) or thick steel (for the F1DN108K model) to protect the product from physical tampering and to minimize radiated electromagnetic emissions that can be snooped or intercepted.

Active Always-On Anti-Tamper System

Active always-on chassis anti-tampering system prevents the KM electronic circuitry from being accessed and tampered with by permanently disabling the product once tampering is detected.

Tamper-Evident Tape

A holographic security tamper-evident label is placed on the enclosure to provide a visual indication if the Switch has been opened or compromised.

OVERVIEW

Secure Packaging

“Tear away” packaging ensures secure delivery of the Switch as it is routed to the end user.

Tamper-Proof Hardware

All integrated circuits are soldered directly to the printed circuit board to prevent tampering with the components.

No Memory Buffer

The Switch does not have a memory buffer and does not have the ability to store data. This prevents unintentional transfer of keystrokes or other data when switching between computers.

Common Criteria EAL 4+ Listing

The product is the only KM switch in the market that was evaluated and listed per Common Criteria standards. It is Common Criteria validated to EAL 4+ (Evaluation Assurance Level 4), and this product complies with a standard higher than Protection Profile v.2.1 to assure the highest level of protection.

Desktop Controller Unit (DCU) Support

This feature allows you to connect an optional DCU (sold separately) device to control your KM Switch from up to 50 feet away, which reduces desktop clutter and increases work space. The DCU gives clear and easy-to-understand indication of which network is currently active.

Please refer to the DCU user manual for product functionality or contact Belkin for more details regarding DCU product information and availability.

Belkin DCU Part Numbers: F1DN001R, F1DN002R, F1DN003R

Audio Switching Support

The KM Switch supports audio out switching. Microphone switching is not supported to prevent analog leakages through audio ports.

Port Coloring

The included color chips can be inserted into each port-selector button. Colors can be associated with an established network to facilitate port identification and reduce user switching error.

Port Naming

The included network-name labels can be placed in the area underneath the port-selector button to facilitate port identification and reduce user switching error. Blank labels are also provided for network names that are not listed on the included network-name labels.

LED Indicators

Each port button number illuminates to indicate that the console currently controls the corresponding computer. As a port selector is pushed, or if the mouse cursor crosses between displays associated to different computers or networks, the LED number will light up.

Integrated Mounting Rails (for F1DN104K model only)

The KM Switch features an integrated mounting system for easy under-the-desk or side-wall mounting.

Rack-Mount Brackets (for F1DN108K model only)

This product includes rack-mount brackets for rack-mounting installations.

9 cursor location. For example, when the user moves the cursor from the left display to the center bottom display, the KM identifies the display border crossing between these two displays and switches the keyboard and mouse to computer #3.

Seamless Cursor Switching (SCS) is implemented in the Belkin

Advanced Secure KM Switch to enable seamless cursor and keyboard switching between multiple displays. SCS allows administrators to configure any desired multiple display configuration using the same, or different size displays and resolutions. Simply move the mouse cursor across neighboring displays to switch between connected computers.

Refer to the example in the figure above. Assume that computer #1 is connected to the left display, computer #2 is connected to the top display, computer #3 is connected to the center bottom display and computer #4 is connected to the display at the right side. In this example all four displays are identical. SCS allows the user to move the mouse cursor across the four displays while automatically switching the shared peripherals (keyboard and mouse) based on the current

SCS is now further enhanced with the inclusion of pointing device drivers to support dual-, triple- and up to 16-head computers. With this technology, user workstations may be integrated with any combination of single-, dual-, triple- and quad-head computers. SCS Configurator software enables the user administrator to easily configure any set of display sizes, resolutions, geometry and physical arrangements.

(Figure 5 – Pre-Defined Configuration List – Applies to 8-Port KM

Version Only - Using CTRL, CTRL, F11, x, x)


28

Note: The KM Configuration Utility Tool is designed to be used by administrators only for configuring the display layout for each deployment environment if the predefined configuration list does not accommodate the needs of the user’s multiple monitor layout.

Mouse Speed Setting

Constant mouse cursor speed is essential for system usability.

Having several systems each with a different cursor “ground speed” is detrimental for the user. Belkin’s Secure KM Switch calculates and adjusts the cursor speed across different displays and computers using the geometry and display settings entered by the administrator.

In addition, the Switch settings include a global speed setting with input values between 1 and 10, which can be changed to adjust the cursor speed for all displays. Typical initial setting of cursor speed is

5. After initial use, the exact value can be set based on user inputs.

To increase mouse speed, press CTRL, CTRL, F11, +

To decrease mouse speed, press CTRL, CTRL, F11, -

SCS Enabled/Disabled Setting

Through the SCS enabled/disabled setting, you can disable the mouse cursor tracking function. Once SCS is disabled, the Switch will enable channel selection only through:

1. Front-panel push buttons

2. Keyboard shortcuts, and

3. DCU (if connected)

Note: This setting is enabled by default.



SECTIONS 1 2 3

Multiple-Head Display Driver Installation

To enable proper KM interaction with computers having multiple heads (more than one display), the Belkin Advanced Secure KM

Switch Mouse Filter driver software must be installed. This driver is available in an executable .EXE file that can be installed on the target computer. Please download the multiple-head display driver from the

Support section of Belkin’s website, or contact Belkin to order the optional CD (Belkin part number 8810-00725) that is part of the KM

Switch Accessory Kit.

Note: This driver must be removed from computers prior to using the computer without Belkin’s Secure KM. Failure to do so will result in loss of mouse functionality when a mouse (USB or PS/2) is connected directly to the computer. Contact Belkin Technical Support if issues persist.

SECTIONS 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9

Operation

Cursor Tracking (SCS Enabled)

Upon powering up, the cursor will be positioned at the center of the primary display of computer #1. The keyboard and audio will be coupled to the same PC where the cursor is active. Once the user moves the cursor to another display, the keyboard and audio will follow that computer.

Front-Panel Push Buttons

The default channel is #1 upon powering up. The user can select any other channel by pressing the appropriate front-panel push button.

The mouse cursor will be positioned at the center of the selected computer display. If the computer has multiple heads, then the cursor will be positioned at the center of the primary display. The selected channel is indicated by an LED illuminated in the appropriate push button. The keyboard and audio will follow the selected channel.

Prevent Transition While Dragging Feature

The Belkin Advanced Secure KM Switch offers a unique feature that further improves usability—Prevent Transition while Dragging. When this feature is enabled, if the user drags an object on one display

(while the left mouse key pressed), the cursor will not leave that display. This feature prevents the loss of that dragging action while accidentally crossing the display border line. This feature may be enabled or disabled through the administrator setup. By default, this feature is enabled. Please refer to the “Keyboard Shortcuts” table for details.

Cursor Acceleration and Speed

Cursor speed and acceleration is a combination of few factors such as display size, resolution and static settings. If the current settings are not constant across the different displays or not working properly, please ask your system administrator for assistance. Both cursor acceleration and speed can be set by the administrator to reach desired settings.

APPENDIX A – Secure KM Configuration Utility Software (KMC Creator)


SECTIONS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Belkin’s Secure KM Configuration Utility (KMC Creator) is an optional software tool that allows for users using the Switch to define their monitor setup and create a KM configuration file. The KM configuration file (.kmc extension) will later be loaded to the Switch that will be configured accordingly.

Note: Refer to Appendix B for loading the configuration file to the

KM Switch using the KMC Loader .

Using the KMC Creator software, administrators can define any number of monitors connected to each computer with different or identical sizes and screen resolutions. The monitors can be deployed in any physical layout. This software also allows removal of unneeded bridges between monitors.

Before You Begin

Please download the Secure KM Switch software files from the

Support section of Belkin’s website, or contact Belkin to order the optional CD-ROM disc (Belkin part number 8810-00725) containing files for the KMC Creator and the KMC Loader .

A KM configuration file is based on the number of computers that will be connected to the KM and the number of monitors each computer will have connected to it. Make sure you know the sizes and native screen resolution of all monitors connected to all computers that will eventually be connected to that KM switch.

Notes:

• The KM Creator and Loader software do not need to be loaded on each computer.

• The software is to be loaded to an external computer, so that the connected monitors and computers are accessible for display resolutions.

• This external computer will be used to create and input that created file into the KM.


34



SECTIONS 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9

Step 1 – Create a New Project

Each KM configuration file is called a “KM Configuration Project.” For every setup you will be required to create a new project. Click “Back” to return to the previous stage at any point during the configuration process.

• Click on “New Project”

• Product Model – The product model can be found on the back sticker of the KM Switch. The Belkin Advanced Secure KM Switch can support two to four computers.

• Mouse Speed – This is the default mouse speed for all systems.

Changing the mouse speed on each computer will not affect the

KM mouse speed.

• Mouse Acceleration – Same as above.

• Number of Computers – The total numbers of computers that will be connected to the KM for this configuration.

• Click “Next Step”

Step 2 – Enter Project Details

Please enter the requested information in the following manner:

• Project Name – The name can be a combination of English characters or numbers. It is advised to use a name that will be reflective of the configuration, for example: “Dealer 3 5 monitors,”

“Generic Workstation 7.” The project name can be read from the

KM after loading.


35



SECTIONS 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9

Step 3 – Enter Description

Add the description that will explain the project. The description will appear in the configuration file (.kmc) and can help explain the configuration.

Step 4 – Computer Setup

In this stage, the administrator will define the number and type of monitors connected to each computer as defined in step 2. For every computer, define the number of monitors connected to the computer by selecting it from the drop-down menu “Number of Displays.” The maximum number of possible displays is limited to four per computer.

Once the number of monitors is selected, you will be able to enter the size and native resolution for every monitor.

Note: If a certain monitor is set to portrait orientation, the native resolution should be entered accordingly. For example, for a monitor with a native screen resolution of 1680x1050, which is used in portrait, please enter resolution of 1050x1680.

Number of Monitors

Multiple Display Setup

When creating a setup with multiple displays for one of the computers, there is an additional requirement to enter the Microsoft virtual desktop parameters.

When using multiple monitors on one of the machines, both the KM and MS Extended desktop are controlling the switching between the monitor. Both mechanisms need to work synchronously.

Display Size

Native Resolution


36



SECTIONS 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9

The following instructions and screen captures are based on Windows

7, but can be used for Windows XP and Windows Vista.

• Go to: “Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display\Screen

Resolution.” You can also right-click your desktop and select screen resolution.

• In the KM configuration dialog you will be asked to provide information regarding your primary display. Primary display is defined as “main display” in the MS “Screen Resolution” dialog.

You can see which is defined as your main display by selecting it in the MS dialog.

• Enter the details for your main display as requested in the dialog.

Monitor Native

Resolution

Monitor Size Monitor Native

Resolution

• Enter the details for the secondary display. To find out what are the

vertical and horizontal MS values, select the secondary monitor and

move it slightly. Two numbers will appear on the secondary monitor.

Enter both numbers in the dialog.


37



SECTIONS 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9

Step 5 – Place the Displays and Create the Geometry

In the stage, the administrator will create his displays setup. The administrator can drag and drop the monitors that were created in proportion that reflect the size and shape of his actual monitors until he creates a view similar to his real environment.

Each display is clearly marked by his computer number and monitor number as entered by the administrator in the previous stage.

Monitors can be connected side by side or set apart, based on the actual geometry required.Once the monitors are placed, yellow

“bridges” will indicate the area in which the mouse “teleports” itself from one monitor to another.

Clicking on one of these areas will remove it, which will prevent the mouse cursor from “teleporting” through this bridge. To enable the bridge between monitors, just drag one monitor to the desired monitor, having them touch each other. Pull apart the monitors, and the bridge should appear between the monitors again.

Examples:

Example 1 - The following setup creates a corridor from the top right of monitor 2 computer 2 to the top bottom left of monitor 1 computer 1.

Trying to drag the mouse through the red lines will not work.

Example 2 – Both configurations below create identical setups in which the mouse cursor moves from the right of computer 2 to the left of computer 1.


38



SECTIONS 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9

Example 3 - The setup shown below is invalid. There is no interface between the two monitors hence the curser will not move. It is recommended to use the below bottom setup instead, which will give similar results.

(Invalid Setup) (Invalid Setup)

Multi-Displays Rules

• Computers with multi displays Rule #1 – When one of the computers is configured with multi displays, the setup of those displays connected to the same PC must be similar to that configured on the MS setup.

• Computers with multi displays Rule #2 – All displays connected to the same PC must be stuck to one another. It is impossible to have distance between two displays connected to the same PC.

Step 6 – Complete Setup

Once ready, the administrator will press the “Complete Setup” button.

Example 4 – The two setups below are identical except that on the right setup, the user chose to prevent the mouse cursor from moving from: Computer 2, Display2 to Computer 1, Display 1.

This was done by clicking on the yellow area between the monitors.

A file with an extension ending in “.kmc” will be generated and downloaded automatically.

Please refer to Appendix B for instructions on how to upload the .kmc configuration file to the KM Switch.


39

APPENDIX B – SECURE KM CONFIGURATION UTILITY (KMC LOADER) SOFTWARE

9

Belkin’s Secure KM Configuration Utility (KMC Loader) allows you to load the configured .kmc file (created per the procedure defined in

Appendix A of this manual) into the Secure KM Switch.

Note: Please refer to Appendix A for instructions on installing the executable setup file that installs the KMC Creator and

KMC Loader programs and create the .kmc files needed for the following steps .

Setting Up the KM Switch for Loading the Configuration

( .kmc) File

The KM Switch is configured through a cable connected from a

PC containing the KMC Loader to the KM USB mouse port. The connection is done via a special USB Configurator Cable that is part of the optional KM Switch Accessory Kit.

1. Disconnect the mouse connected to the Console mouse port of the KM Switch.

2. Connect the USB Configurator Cable from a PC to the mouse port of the KM Switch.

3. Put the KM Switch into administration mode (CTRL, CTRL, F11, d, c). The KM Switch will click several times to audibly indicate that it needs to be power cycled.

4. Power cycle the KM Switch by unplugging the DC plug of the power supply and re-plugging it after a few seconds.


40


Loading Utility

Once the KM is in Administration mode and is connected to the PC:

• Run the loading utility (KMC Loader). Wait for five to 10 seconds until the KMC Loader window shows “KM Ready,” as shown:

Loading a Configuration File

• Click on “Select a new configuration file”

• Browse to your .kmc configuration file

• Click on “Update KM”

After the .kmc file is loaded, the following screen will show:

Figure 1 – KM Loading Utility capture – before selecting a file

41

Figure 2 – KM Loading Utility capture – file selected and loaded


After loading is complete, restart the KM by disconnecting and then reconnecting power. Reconnect the mouse back to the mouse port and the new configuration will apply.

KM Loader Troubleshooting and Support

The KMC Loader Utility communicates with the KM Switch to load the configuration file.

The two most common errors when using the loading utility are:

• Configuration file incorrectly formatted

• No communication with KM Switch

Configuration File Incorrectly Formatted

When loading a wrong configuration file, the Loading Utility will report the issue if possible and will direct the user to load another file.

To avoid this, make sure the files you have loaded were created with the KMC Creator configuration tool and that it was not manually modified in any way.

Figure 3 – KM Loading Utility capture – File not correct

42


No Communication with KM Switch

If the utility cannot communicate with the KM Switch, it will prompt

“KM Not Ready” and no communication port will appear.

To avoid this, ensure that the KM Switch is connected via the mouse

(not keyboard) Console port on the KM Switch. Put the KM Switch in administrative mode as explained previously.
