Belkin Secure KVM and KM products adhere to the NIAP PP4.0 standard and leave the factory configured to the strictest guidelines. An Administrator Configuration Terminal is available in our KVM / KM products for system administrators, allowing system auditing and customizations to suit your installation or user needs.
Once logged into the Terminal, a numerical menu will be presented with different options available for viewing logs or customizing the functionality of your KVM / KM. The options are accessed using the top row of the number keys above the letter keys on the keyboard. The Terminal will not recognize keys pressed on number pads. Pressing a number will immediately enter that menu and display any sub-options in the Terminal.
The Asset Management Menu allows you to make bookkeeping changes to the KVM, such as adding custom asset tags or names for the KVM / KM. This is useful when tracking your KVMs to ensure the data is stored digitally alongside any asset tags placed on the product casing.
Menu 1 – firmware versions
The Firmware Versions Menu lets you view information about the firmware of the different system boards in your KVM / KM. This information is helpful when working with Belkin Support.
Menu 2 – configure dpp
The Configure DPP (dedicated peripheral port) option is available on Belkin KVM units with a CAC card reader port. This option allows you to configure what devices are allowed through the CAC port on your KVM.
Menu 3 – configure sc
The Configure SC Menu allows bulk customization options for your KVM / KM. Here, you can customize KM functionality, including mouse cursor speeds, changing the Administrator Configuration Terminal activation keys, switching between computers using only the mouse cursor, and customizing the RGB coloring of the Belkin Universal KVMs and Belkin F1DN008KBD KVM Remote Control with Integrated Keyboard controller.
Menu 4 – account management
The Account Management option allows configuring the administrator accounts on your KVM / KM.
Menu 5 – reset to factory defaults
The Reset to Factory Defaults option will erase all customizations of your KVM / KM and non-critical system logs. A factory reset will not reset the default administrator password or erase critical system logs that contain information such as failed login attempts and tamper events.
Menu 6 – logs and events
The Logs and Events Menu allows viewing of all system and critical logs stored on your KVM / KM. These logs are helpful for auditing, to see how your KVM / KM is functioning, or to view access attempts and system changes.
Menu 7 – configure peripheral devices
The Configure Peripheral Devices Menu allows you to change how peripheral control devices such as keyboards, mice, and touchscreens function on your KVM / KM and activate certain KM functionality on KVMs.
Menu 8 – exit terminal mode
Option 8 will stop the current connection to the Administrator Configuration Terminal mode and stop capturing keyboard keystrokes. This will not log the current administrator out of the Terminal which requires a power cycle of the KVM / KM.
Menu 9 – power cycle the kvm
Option 9 will power cycle the KVM / KM without requiring you to unplug it. This is useful for troubleshooting when you can’t reach the KVM and is the best way to completely log out of the Administrator Configuration Terminal.
