INSTALLATION 

The following steps are intended for the system administrator or IT manager only. 

If you have the optional CAC ports there will be 2 ports on a 2 host ports KM and 4 ports on a 4 host ports KM. CAC 

connection to the computer requires a USB cable connection separate from the keyboard and mouse. This allows 

the CAC to be connected and controlled independently from the keyboard and mouse. It also allows the user to 

select whether CAC for a certain computer is supported or not.  

1.

Ensure that power is turned off or disconnected from the unit and the computer.

2.

Use a USB cable (Type-A to Type-B) to connect a USB port on a computer to its respective CAC USBports on the

KM. Do not connect the USB cable if CAC functionality is not needed for that computer.

Power on the KM by connecting a 12VDC power supply to the power connector, and then turn on allthe

KM to the channel whose CAC mode you wish to change. Once the channel is selected, thebutton LED for this

specific channel should be on (CAC port enabled). Press and hold the button for 3seconds until the button LED

turns off. The CAC port is now disabled for this channel.
