3. Do Belkin USB to Ethernet adapters support PXE boot?
 
No, the Belkin USB to Ethernet adapters do not support PXE boot.
 
4. Do the Belkin F1DB102P2-B and F1DN001-PWR require a power adapter to prevent PS/2 devices from not being recognized upon resume from standby or sleep?

The only time you need the power adapter is if the computer can’t supply enough power to the KVM.  With PS/2 connection, if the computer goes into standby mode and there is no power on the KVM, the keyboard and mouse might not work upon resume.  This is a limitation in the PS/2 technology, not with the KVM.


It is recommended to use both the KVM and power supply (Belkin F1DB102P2-B and F1DN001-PWR) to ensure compatibility.  You can also adjust the operating system’s setting to prevent standby / sleep, or to increase the time before it happens to avoid having issues. 

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Is the Belkin F1DJ104P-B compatible with Windows® 7?

Yes, the Belkin F1DJ104P-B is compatible with Windows® 7.

2. Can the Belkin B2B048 support 2k and 4k jumbo frames?

Yes, USB 3.0 is capable of supporting jumbo frames, and as such, so is our Belkin USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter.

NOTE:  While the 2k/4k packets can be supported, the user's Internet Service Provider (ISP) should support similar types of packets or Gigabit speeds at the same time.

3. I use 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?


This issue happens because the Absolute Mouse drivers, the cross between touch and mouse inputs, are being used on the F1DN104K.  Because the F1DN104K has restricted I/O for security reasons, issues arise when extenders such as the F1086U are used.

5. Can I use any CAC reader with Belkin Secure KVMs?

The CAC port on the PP3.0 compliant KVMs is designed to support all CAC card readers that conform to the USB standard and are properly grounded.  Ungrounded peripherals pose a security risk as it would allow someone to replace the CAC reader with another peripheral device after the port has been opened.  In our testing, we test and validate against the Belkin F1DN005U, SCR331, SCR243, Stanley Global 111, OmniKey DoD USB CAC, and the Cherry USB CAC.  If a CAC reader is not properly grounded, that will cause its authorization to fail.
