ATEN Secure KVM User Manual
Manual Switching
For increased security, the ATEN Secure KVM Switch offers manual port-switching only. Th is is
achieved by pressing the port selection pushbuttons located on the unit's front panel.
Press and release a port selection pushbutton to bring the KVM focus to the computer attached to its
corresponding port (see Port ID Nu mbering, below). To meet maximu m security and channel isolation
requirements, keyboard, mouse, video, audio, and USB CAC reader ports will be switched together.
The Selected Port LED lights orange to indicate that the computer attached to its corresponding port
has the KVM focus (keyboard, mouse, monitor, audio, and CA C reader).
The PC that has the port focus should be able to detect the peripherals after port switch ing.
If the PC fails to detect the keyboard, mouse, or CA C card reader:
-
Verify that the keyboard, mouse, and/or CAC card reader is qualified.
-
Verify if the keyboard, mouse, or CA C reader hasn't failed.
-
For USB CA C card reader (USB authentication device), please make sure the USB CAC cable has
been securely connected, and the CAC function is enabled.
-
For USB CA C card reader port, please contact your administrator to verify if the device has been
authorized.
