ATEN CS1184DP4C Secure KVM Switch
Overview
The ATEN CS1184DP4C is a 4-port USB DisplayPort Secure KVM switch designed for environments requiring high-security data isolation and multi-system control. It enables a single operator to access up to four computers from a single workstation, ensuring data segregation between secure and non-secure networks. This unit meets PSD PP v4.0 compliance standards, making it suitable for government, military, or financial sector deployments where strict security protocols are paramount. The integrated CAC (Common Access Card) reader port streamlines authentication processes, allowing for secure smart card access to connected systems. Its inclusion of a Remote Port Selector simplifies management by allowing users to switch between computers without physically interacting with the KVM unit itself.
Compatibility
This KVM switch supports DisplayPort video interfaces and USB connectivity for peripherals. It is designed to work with standard DisplayPort monitors and USB keyboards/mice. The CAC port is compatible with standard smart card readers that utilize USB interfaces. It is intended for use with computers running various operating systems, provided they have compatible DisplayPort video output and USB ports. Specific compatibility is not limited by workstation model but by the presence of these required interfaces and operating system support for USB HID devices.
Installation Notes
The device dimensions are 33.50 x 16.39 x 4.40 cm (13.19 x 6.45 x 1.73 in.), allowing for standard 1U rack mounting or desktop placement. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating, especially when operating at maximum 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz resolution. Use appropriate DisplayPort and USB cables to connect the KVM to each host computer and the operator's workstation for optimal signal integrity and performance.
