Active Always-On Anti-Tampering
Active always-on chassis anti-tampering system prevents the Belkin
Secure Headset Adapter electronic circuitry from being accessed and
tampered with by permanently disabling the product once tampering is
detected. (Both microphone and headset are grounded.)
Tamper-Evident Label
A holographic security tamper-evident label is placed on the enclosure
to provide a visual indication if the Adapter has been opened or
compromised.
Please note: Belkin Secure products cannot be upgraded, serviced
or fixed.
Secure Packaging
"Tear away" packaging ensures secure delivery of the product as it is
routed to the end user. The recyclable packaging also breaks down flat,
simplifying the cleanup process.
Non-Reprogrammable Firmware
All firmware resides on ROM. The product features custom firmware
that is not reprogrammable, preventing the ability to remotely attack
the Headset Adapter.
