SECURE KVM
 

1.  What comes in the box of the Belkin F1DN102B, F1DN104F, F1DN104B, F1DN104C and F1DN102C KVMs?
 
F1DN102B – One 2-Port DVI-I / PS2 / USB KVM, one 12V / 1.5A Power Supply, 10 Color Chips, 12 Port Naming Labels, four Rubber Feet (uninstalled), one User Manual, and one Common Criteria Statement

F1DN104B – One 4-Port DVI-I / PS2 / USB KVM, one 12V / 1.5A Power Supply, 10 Color Chips, 12 Port Naming Labels, four Rubber Feet (uninstalled), one User Manual, and one Common Criteria Statement
 
F1DN104C – One 4-Port DVI-I / PS2 / USB KVM, one 12V / 1.5A Power Supply, 10 Color Chips, 12 Port Naming Labels, four Rubber Feet (uninstalled), one User Manual, one Common Criteria Statement, and one 6 ft CAC Cable USB-B to USB-A
 
F1DN102C – One 2-Port DVI-I / PS2 / USB KVM, one 12V / 1.5A Power Supply, 10 Color Chips, 12 Port Naming Labels, four Rubber Feet (uninstalled), one User Manual, one Common Criteria Statement, and one 6 ft CAC Cable USB-B to USB-A
 

2.  Do the Belkin Advanced Secure KVMs support 120 Hz refresh rates?
 
No, the Belkin Advanced Secure KVMs do not support refresh rates of 120 Hz.  The supplied refresh rate for the KVM is 2.2 GHz.  On the other hand, a 1920 x 1800 resolution of the Advanced Secure KVM requires 2.9 GHz.  Also, a 2560 x 1600 resolution requires 5.9 GHz.
 

3.  I use the Belkin F1086U to get the video and USB from a remote location to another location and connect it to the Belkin F1DN104K.  What should I do if the mouse cursor keeps moving around the screen even with slight mouse motion?
 
Place the Belkin F1DN104K near the computers and use standard USB-A to B cables to connect the computers to the Belkin F1DN104K.  This is to properly receive Absolute Mouse signals between the computers and the Belkin F1DN104K.  Then, use the Belkin F1D086U to only extend the video to the remote location for each computer using the KM.  An additional Belkin F1D086U is then connected to the mouse port of the Belkin F1DN104K to extend the keyboard and mouse to the remote locations.  To learn more, click
here.
 
NOTE:  This issue happens because the Absolute Mouse drivers, the cross between touch and mouse inputs, are being used on the Belkin F1DN104K.  For security reasons, the Belkin F1DN104K has restricted Input/Output (I/O).  Thus, issues arise when extenders such as the Belkin F1086U are used.

When you press the Caps Lock + Left Shift keys, the KVM Switch will emulate the Compose Key to the PC.  The action of Compose Key is the same as the mouse’s right-click.  This is programmed in the firmware to support Sun™ and Mac® computers.  This cannot be changed.
