Introduction
WELCOME
Thank you for choosing a ADDERView™ AVS secure switch for sharing single or dual
head video, USB keyboard and mouse, plus analog audio between four computers
spanning multiple security classification levels. Separate models are available which
support single video displays for each channel or dual video displays throughout. In each
case you have a choice of either DVI or DisplayPort video operation.
The secure switch can be used in two
main configurations depending on the
requirements of the installation:

KM configuration
The user console consists of keyboard,
mouse and speakers. The video displays
are arranged in a default 2x2 grid and are
all connected directly to their respective
computers. The operator can view all
of the channel outputs simultaneously.
This arrangement requires the Free-Flow
feature (see page 14) to be used to
allow automatic switching of the console
between channels.
KVM configuration
The user console consists of keyboard,
mouse, speakers and also video display(s),
which are all connected to the secure
switch. The common video display(s)
show the output of the currently active
channel.

Free-Flow
To remove the need to press channel
buttons when switching, you can use
the Free-Flow feature instead (see page
14). When enabled, you may switch
channels by moving the mouse across
monitor edges according to the video
layout. The front panel displays the
currently selected channel number.
Features
• Uni-directional keyboard, video, mouse and audio data paths prevent any potential
information leakage through shared peripherals.
• No shared memory between channels: The keyboard and mouse processor is powered
down and reset at each switchover to thwart shared data leakages.
• Automatic switching between channels (configurable Free-Flow mode)without the need
to press any buttons. Simply move the mouse between windows.
• Clear channel identification to reduce the chances of operator error by displaying a
user defined name and security classification for each channel on the status display.
The color of the channel indicators may also be configured to reflect the security
classification.
• Hardware anti-tampering: Holographic anti-tampering labels protect the product's
enclosure, providing a clear visual indication if it has been opened or compromised.
• Restricted USB function: The USB ports will only accept HID (Human Interface
Devices), such as keyboards and mice.
• There is no access to the product's firmware or memory through any port. Firmware
is permanently stored in non-reprogrammable Read Only Memory (ROM) to prevent
modification. Firmware integrity is verified through a self-test procedure during
power up. Detection of a critical failure disables the device and provides a clear visual
indication to the user.
Safety
Please refer to the safety booklet provided in the box before use of this product.
