maximum security and channel isolation requirements, control of the keyboard, mouse, video, audio,
and USB CAC reader will be switched together.
The selected port's LED turns GREEN to indicate that the connected keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers
(or headset), and CAC reader are redirected to the computer attached to the corresponding port. The
selected computer should be able to detect the peripherals after port switching.
If the computer fails to detect your keyboard, mouse, or CAC card reader, check the following:
•
•
Verify if you are using a supported keyboard, mouse, or CAC card reader. See:

Port ID Numbering
Each KVM port on the Secure Switch is assigned a port number. 1 and 2 for 2-port models, 1 to 4 for 4-
port models, and 1 to 8 for 8-port models. The port numbers are marked on the rear of the Secure
Switch. See
Secure Switch Ports and Connectors
The port ID of a computer is derived from the KVM port number it is connected to.
LED Indicators
In addition to the power LED, there are port LEDs and CAC LED on the Secure Switch's front panel to
indicate Port / CAC reader operation status. These LEDs also serve as the alarm notification for KVM
security issues.
