Certain models of Belkin Secure KVMs feature a Dedicated Peripheral Port, labeled CAC on the KVM. This is a one-way, slow-speed, USB 1.1 port designed for USB authentication devices. The CAC port, by default, is switchable and shared amongst all the computers connected to your KVM or can be locked to a specific port. Belkin KVMs leave the factory pre-programmed to accept the most common CAC reader devices, but additional devices can be added through the Administration Configuration Terminal.
IMPORTANT: Allowing or Blocking devices requires the device to be connected to the KVM when allowing or blocking.
Applicable to:
- F1DN102KVM-UN-4
- F1DN104KVM-UN-4
- F1DN108KVM-UN-4
- F1DN116KVM-UN-4
- F1DN202KVM-UN-4
- F1DN204KVM-UN-4
- F1DN208KVM-UN-4
Adding additional devices
The CAC port allows additional devices to connect through it. This is done through the Administration Configuration Terminal. When you add a new device, it is placed on an allow list, which can be viewed at any time through the Administration Configuration Terminal. Devices will remain on this list until added to the block list, a reset of DPP settings is performed, or a factory restore is initiated.
NOTE: Allowing a device through the CAC (DPP) port is a KVM-wide change and will impact all channels of this KVM.
1. Log in to the Administration Configuration Terminal.
2. Use the top row of number keys to access Menu 2 – configure dpp.
3. Use the top row of number keys to choose option 1 – allow currently connected device on all channels.
4. Once added, back out and exit the Administration Configuration Terminal. Power down the KVM and reconnect power.
Blocking devices from connecting through the CAC port
Blocking devices from connecting through the KVM’s CAC port can be used to add devices you had allowed but no longer want to allow, or to block specific devices that may be accessible in the location the KVM is at. These devices are added to a block list stored on the KVM. Devices will remain on this list until added to the block list, a reset of DPP settings is performed or a factory restore is initiated.
NOTE: Blocking a device through the CAC (DPP) port is a KVM-wide change and will impact all channels of this KVM.
1. Log in to the Administration Configuration Terminal.
2. Use the top row of number keys to access Menu 2 – configure dpp.
3. Use the top row of number keys to choose option 2 – block currently connected device on all channels.
