Manual Switching

For increased security, the ATEN Secure KVM Switch offers manual port-switching only. This 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 Numbering, below). To meet maximum 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

- Verify if the keyboard, mouse, or CAC reader hasn’t failed.

- For USB CAC card reader (USB authentication device), please make sure the USB CAC cable has

been securely connected, and the CAC function is enabled.

- For USB CAC card reader port, please contact your administrator to verify if the device has been

authorized.

Port ID Numbering

Each KVM port on the ATEN Secure KVM Switch is assigned a port number (1–2 for the 2-Port

models; 1–4 for the 4-Port models; 1–8 for 8-Port models). The port numbers are marked on the rear of

keyboard lock (Num Lock/Caps Lock/Scroll Lock) LEDs and CAC LEDs that are built into the front

panel to indicate port / keyboard / CAC reader operating status. A video LED is located on back panel

to indicate the operating status of the video connection. These LEDs also serve as the alarm notification

for KVM security issues.
