Introduction

The Secure KM Switch

Viewing and Interacting with Multiple Systems Simultaneously

The Secure KM Switch (models F1DN104K-3 and F1DN108K-3) are engineered for high-security

environments where operators require simultaneous interaction with multiple computing systems

across different security enclaves. Unlike the traditional Secure KVM, the Secure KM only switches the

USB keyboard and mouse between connected inputs, relying on the individual computers to drive their

own video displays. The KM is therefore the ideal technology for Command and Control room

environments where operators often interact with monitor walls displaying video from multiple

systems.

Connections

The Belkin Secure KM Switch can support 2, 4 or 8 computers simultaneously with the use of a single

keyboard and mouse. For demonstration purposes, the F1DN104K-3, supporting 4 computers, is used as

the reference below.

Hardware Connections:

-4x Input Ports (USB Keyboard/Mouse, Audio)

-1x Console Output Port (USB or PS2 keyboard/Mouse, Audio)

-1x Power Port

Software requirements:

-No software is required to be installed on any computer or system unless a connected

system has more than one monitor. In that case, the Belkin Multi-Monitor Mouse Driver is

necessary to be installed on Windows PCs. The driver can be found at

Secure KM Switch Controls and Modes

Keyboard and Mouse

As with Belkin’s Secure KVMs, each of the KM’s keyboard and mouse USB ports is isolated from one

another using the same optical data diode technology to eliminate signal leakage. Further, no user data

is buffered in the KM that can potentially create security vulnerabilities. These ports are filtered to

allow only HID keyboard and mouse commands to pass from the keyboard to the KM and physically

block any reverse data flow. The KM eliminates vulnerabilities that exist for data theft or the ability for

signals to leak from one security enclave to another via the USB keyboard or mouse.

Mouse

The KM emulates a USB mouse such that each connected computer believes a keyboard and mouse are

connected directly, even though there is only one physical keyboard and mouse shared among these

systems. The KM mouse function can be configured to work in either Absolute or Relative mode. In

either case, commands are sent to one computer at a time only via the optical data diode isolation

described above and the cursors being emulated on the other computers are hidden from view.

Absolute Mode:

In Absolute mode, the KM maps all monitors onto the same grid, maintaining the coordinates that

reflect the edge of one physical monitor to another. As the cursor is moved from the coordinate at the

edge of one physical monitor and onto the coordinate indicating the edge of its neighbor monitor, the

KM passes data from the physical mouse to the USB emulation logic for the second computer and paints

the cursor onto its corresponding monitor (while simultaneously hiding the cursor on the former

monitor). In doing so, it also invokes the Seamless Cursor Switching (SCS) mechanism to seamlessly

switch the mouse and keyboard controls to the corresponding input source. The KM’s mouse

emulators offer zero delay in switching between computers allowing for an instant response. In keeping

with information assurance requirements, the front panel of the KM illuminates the button LED of the

new channel to provide constant visual feedback to operators as to which enclave they are working

with.

Relative Mode:

In Relative mode the movement of the mouse is confined to the borders of each computer’s display.

The user will then need to select which console to interact with by pressing the console buttons on the

KM switch as with a traditional KVM.

Keyboard

The keyboard connected to the KM interacts with each computer individually and only interacts with

one computer at any time. A user can switch the interaction of the keyboard between computers either

by pressing the console buttons on the KM or by using the movement of the mouse in Absolute Mode to

switch between computers.

Since mouse and keyboard data flow in a unidirectional data path, any keyboard indicators that require

acknowledgement from the computer will not be shown, including LEDs for Caps Lock, Num Lock, or

Scroll Lock. For example, when a user presses the Caps Lock key the command will reach the computer

and activate all keys as caps, but the computer will not be able to acknowledge the change back to the

keyboard to then enable the key’s LED indicator.

Display

The KM provides for a variety of pre-configured monitor configurations that should meet most user

requirements. The size, relative positioning, and coordinates of these display configurations are pre-

programmed in the KM and can be selected thru administration options.

Should one of these presets be inadequate for the application, the F1DN104K-3 and F1DN108K-

3 also support a custom configuration option using the Belkin KM Configuration utility that can

be downloaded from http://www.belkin.com/us/Resource-Center/Cybersecurity/Resources/

d) Select Install to begin and follow the installation wizard to complete the process.

e) Once complete, select Finish

Once the installation wizard is complete, shortcuts for KMCreator and KMLoader will be

available in the file location you chose.

Step 2: Define monitor configuration with the KM Configuration Utility

Page | 7Secure KM Custom Monitor Configuration Guide LNKPG-00559 Rev. A00

The KMCreator is used to define the monitor layout and generate a KM configuration

file (.kmc file) that will be uploaded to the KM using the KMLoader utility.

Using the KMCreator utility, administrators can define the layout and relevant traits of

monitors connected to each computer with different or identical sizes and screen

resolutions. The monitors can be deployed in any physical layout. This software also

allows removal of unneeded bridges between monitors that can be used to prevent

channel switching via the SCS capability.

Before You Begin

A KM configuration file is based on the number of computers that will be

connected to the KM and the number, size, and resolution of the monitors each

computer will have associated with it.

NOTES :

1) The KMCreator and KMLoader software do not need to be loaded on each

computer.

2) The software should be installed on an external computer and used to upload

the configuration to the KM. The KMCreator and KMLoader software are not

needed after the desired configuration has been loaded onto the KM.

1) Create a new Project

Each KM configuration file is called a “KM Configuration Project”. For every setup

you will be required to create a new project. Click “Back” to return to the

previous stage, at any point during the configuration process.

•Open KMCreator

•Select “New Project”

2) Enter Project Details

Please enter the requested information in the following manner:

•Project Name – The name can be a combination of English characters or

numbers. It is advised to use a name that will be reflective of the configuration

Page | 8Secure KM Custom Monitor Configuration Guide LNKPG-00559 Rev. A00

for example: “Dealer 3 5 monitors”, “Generic Workstation 7”. The project name

can be read from the KM after loading.

•Product Model – The product model can be found on the product label of the

KM switch. The Belkin Secure KMs come in 4, and 8 input models.

•Mouse Speed – This is the default mouse speed for all systems. Changing the

mouse speed on each computer will not affect the KM mouse speed.

•Mouse Acceleration – Same as above.

•Number of Computers – The total number of computers that will be connected

to the KM for this configuration.

• Click “Next Step”

3) Enter Description

Add a description for the project. The description will appear in the

configuration file (.kmc) and can help differentiate one configuration from

another when working with multiple potential configurations.

4) Monitor Configuration

For each computer, define the number of monitors connected to the

computer by selecting it from the drop down menu “Number of Displays”.

The maximum number of possible displays is limited to four per computer.

Once the number of monitors is selected, you will be able to enter the size

and native resolution for every monitor.

Note: If a certain monitor is set to portrait orientation, the Native resolution

should be entered accordingly. For example, for a monitor with a native

screen resolution of 1680x1050 which is used in portrait orientation, enter

the resolution as 1050x1680.

Working with Multiple Monitors per Computer

When using more than one display per computer, Microsoft Windows’

display options must be synchronized with the KM for proper operation.

Microsoft Windows maps monitors into a virtual desktop, allowing a user

to move the mouse cursor from one monitor to the other. The KM must

understand how these monitors are mapped in a Windows desktop

environment and which monitor defines the edge between channels so

as to invoke SCS channel switching. This procedure must be done for

each PC with multiple monitors.

1) To begin, open the display settings dialog on the Windows PC.

•Right-click on the desktop and select Display Settings or navigate to

Control Panel, Display Settings

The following instructions are based on Windows 7, but can also be

used with Windows 8 and Windows 10.

2) In the KM configuration dialog you will be asked to provide information

regarding your primary display. Primary display is referred to as “main

display” in the Windows “Screen Resolution” dialog. You can determine
