Requirement: A government analyst with multiple workstations needs to consolidate the workstations with a keyboard, mouse

and up to two monitors. Each workstation has a different security classifi cation and matching network connection (unclassifi ed,

secret, etc.).

Avocent Solution: The NIAP certifi ed SwitchView SC switch technology makes it impossible to transfer data between the

connected computers. Separate I/O processors control KVM switching and access to computers – an important factor for a user

who may access secure and non-secure networks from one point of contact.

In this application diagram, the SwitchView SC

1x8 switch is connected to unsecure and secure workstations. To achieve the highest level of secure configuration, only workstations with the same security classification should be connected to each of the SwitchView SC 1x8 switch port’s four secure channels. The SwitchView SC 1x4 KVM switch has two secure channels. Both switches support PS/2 peripherals and VGA video.
