KVM, 8 ports on a 8 host ports KVM and 16 ports on a 16 host ports KVM.
CAC connection to the computer requires a USB cable connection separate from the keyboard and
mouse. This allows the CAC to be connected 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
USB ports on the KVM. Do not connect the USB cable if CAC functionality is not needed for that
computer.

4. Power on the KVM by connecting a 12VDC power supply to the power connector, and then turn on
all the computers.

switch the KVM to the channel whose CAC mode you wish to change. Once the channel is selected,
the button LED for this specific channel should be on (CAC port enabled). Press and hold the button
for 3 seconds until the button LED turns off. The CAC port is now disabled for this channel.
6. To enable CAC for any channel, use the front panel buttons to switch the KVM to the channel whose
