Operation

In operation, the AdderView Secure unit allows you to quickly and securely

switch between up to four systems. Strictly only one system may be accessed at

a time, whereupon the common keyboard and mouse are linked to that system.

Tamper-evident seals

Given the high security nature of most installations that incorporate this unit,

it may be a policy of your organisation to fit tamper-evident labels across

certain seals and/or chassis screws. As part of a best practice policy, you are

recommended to check any applied seals on a regular basis to ensure that the

unit has not been opened without authorisation.

Selecting computers

In order to guard against the possibility of malicious software and also to

minimise the chance of accidental switching, the AdderView Secure unit offers

only one method to change between channels. All switching is done using the

front panel switches.

• The buttons are clearly labelled to eliminate any ambiguity.

• Press the appropriate button to select the labelled channel.

• When the chosen channel has been connected, the adjacent indicator

will illuminate (continuously) to confirm. If the indicator flashes, then the

selected computer is either switched off or disconnected.

• Each channel uses a differently coloured indicator to provide additional visual

feedback about the chosen channel. Channel 1 has a green indicator and

is generally configured to link with the lowest security computer/network,

whereas channel 4 (or channel 2 on two-port versions) has a red indicator

and is generally configured to link with the highest security computer/network.

Error indicator

The red error indicator is located on the right side

of the front panel and is labelled ERR. Separate

microprocessors monitor each channel and any

of them can trigger an error state if they detect

unexpected or unauthorised operations. If the ERR

indicator illuminates, you will need to first locate and

confirm the source of the fault. Then you will need to

either power cycle the offending computer or remove

and replace its USB connection to the AdderView

Secure.

Smart card reader

AdderView Secure models with an optional smart card reader which allow you

to insert your security card for authorisation. The instructions given here are

general advice and may be

superseded by procedures

stipulated by your

organisation.

Note: The channel can be

changed before or after

inserting the smart card.

To use the smart card

reader

1 Align your smart card

with the reader slot,

located in the front panel

of the unit. Ensure that

the gold contacts of the

card are facing down.

2 Press the required

channel select button (if

not already selected).
