Avocent SwitchView SC540 SC540-001 プリント

Proven and Secure Access for Any Environment

The Avocent SwitchView SC420, SC440 and SC540 KVM switch series offers proven, 

secure access for any desktop environment where security is mandatory. With USB Common 

Access Card (CAC) reader support, three levels of physical security, and controlled USB 

connectivity, you can consolidate multiple workstations of varying security classifi cation levels 

with one keyboard, monitor and mouse without compromising network security. Dual link 

video offers uncompromising video quality up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz.  Dual head video 

(SC540 only) supports the most demanding workstation requirements.

The SwitchView SC420, SC440 and SC540 switches allow desktop IT administrators to 

deploy a single CAC reader that will switch to all computers connected to the switch. (CAC 

support is required for all government employees attempting to log in to government systems 

and is specifi ed in the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 [HSPD12].) These 

switches include three layers of tamper-proof hardware security at the desktop. In addition, 

SwitchView SC420, SC440 and SC540 switches ensure that only USB human interface 

devices (HID’s) function on target computers by constantly monitoring all devices attached 

to the console ports. These switches ignore communication from non-HID’s (such as fl ash 

drives, hard disk drives, cameras and printers) when switching data to the target.

U.S-designed 

fi rmware allows only keyboard, 

mouse and common access cards 

(CAC) human interface devices 

(HID) to switch to the target 

computers. Devices considered 

unsecure, such as fl ash drives or 

other mass storage devices, cameras 

and all other USB devices, are strictly 

prohibited by the switch fi rmware. 

Physical security: 

 

ƒ

a)

 

à

 Tamper-evident tape: A 

visual indication of an attempt 

to gain access to the internal 

components of the switch

b)

 

à

 Chassis intrusion detection: 

Prevents malicious tampering 

with the switch. If the cover is 

removed from the switch, the 

switch becomes inoperable and 

the LEDs fl ash

c)

 

à

 Locked memory: Prevents 

tampering and reprogramming of 

the fi rmware

Secure channels:

 

ƒ

 Two (SC420) 

to four (SC440 & SC540) fully 

secure channels isolated to 60db. 

Safely switch between computers 

operating at different classifi cation 

levels – without compromising 

network security.

Clears buffer:

 

ƒ

 Automatically clears 

the keyboard buffer immediately 

after data is transmitted through 

the switch, so no data is ever left 

in the switch.
