These have been very carefullydesigned and tested to maximize the performance levels of the switch.Note: For additional security, use tamper-evident tape to bridge the computercable connections to the switch’s case once installed.Connections to computer systemsAll connections to computer systems are achieved using combined shielded linkcables of which there are several different types to suit the various ports used -see the Additional items section for details.See also Devices used with the AdderView Secure for advice about linkingdevices to the AdderView Secure unit.To connect a system link1 Wherever possible, ensure that power is disconnected from the unit and thehost computer(s) to be connected.2 At the rear panel of the unit, connect the appropriate link cable to the 26-way connector of the appropriate channel.Connections to user console peripheralsTo connect a keyboard and mouseIMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of radiated snooping, do not use wirelesskeyboard or mouse devices.See also Devices used with the AdderView Secure for advice about linkingdevices to the AdderView Secure unit.1 Wherever possible, ensure that power is disconnected from the unit and thehost computer(s) to be connected.2 In the middle of the rear panel, connect the cables from the keyboard andmouse to the USB sockets marked and respectively.Note: If using a combined keyboard and smartcard reader then connect thekeyboard/reader to the socket labeled .
