This function allows the Administrator to configure the Secure Switch to accept or reject specific USB
devices (for CAC Port), and reject specific HID devices (for Keyboard / Mouse Ports). CAC Port device
filtering can also be configured via Raritan's Port Authentication Utility. For detailed information on
port authentication utility, refer to Raritan's Port Authentication Section in this Administrator Guide.
Note:
1. The CAC port does not support USB hub. The USB hub cannot be added to allowlist/blocklist via
either administrator functions or ATEN Port Authentication Utility.
2. The user can only blocklist an HID device within the default HID devices* for the Keyboard/
Mouse Ports. Please connect the HID device (you would like to blocklist) directly to the Mouse Port
(do not connect it to the KVM via a USB hub), and perform the configuration via administrator
functions. After configuration, the blocklisted HID device will be rejected by both Keyboard/ Mouse
Ports. A USB hub cannot be added to blocklist via administrator functions.
* The default HID devices for Keyboard/ Mouse Ports could be referred to "Using Qualified
Peripheral Device Only"- "USB keyboard and mouse"section on page 9.
