TOE Description
2.1
Product Overview
The TOE is the IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch Series (non CAC Models). Each of the sixteen models identified
in Section 1.1 is a Peripheral Sharing Device that include console ports and computer ports. The console
ports are used to connect a single set of peripherals, including a mouse, keyboard, speaker, and one or
two video displays (depending on specific device type) to the
TOE. The TOE’s computer ports are
connected to up to 2, 4, or 8 separate computers (again depending on specific device type). The user can
then securely switch the connected console peripherals between any of the connected computers while
preventing unauthorized data flows or leakage between computers. The TOE supports manual port
switching using a press and release a port selection push button (on the switch, or on the Remote Port
Selector (RPS) if connected and aligned) to bring the KVM focus to the computer attached to its
corresponding port.
