PROVEN AND SECURE ACCESS FOR ANY ENVIRONMENT.
�

The Avocent� Cybex� SwitchView� SC100 and SC200 KVM Switch series offers proven, secure access for any environment where security is mandatory.* With USB common access card (CAC) reader support (available on the SwitchView SC200 switches), three levels of physical security, and controlled USB connectivity, you can consolidate multiple workstations of varying security classification levels with one keyboard, monitor and mouse without compromising network security.
�
The SwitchView SC200 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 specified in the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 [HSPD12].)
�
Both the SwitchView SC100 and SC200 switches include three layers of tamper-proof hardware security to enhance security at the desktop. In addition, SwitchView SC100 and SC200 switches ensure that only USB human interface devices (HIDs) function on target computers by constantly monitoring all devices attached to the console ports. These switches ignore communication from non-HIDs (such as flash drives, hard disk drives, cameras and printers) when switching data to the target. In situations where the only USB port(s) for HIDs are enabled on the target computer, the SwitchView SC switch will not introduce security vulnerabilities.
�
The SwitchView SC100 and SC200 switches offer flexible connectivity with support for USB and/or PS/2 peripherals and target computers.

SwitchView SC100/SC200 Quick Facts

Controlled KVM Switching. Separate I/O processors for control KVM switching and access to computers.
Cable Management. The Avocent locking cables provide secure connections and reduce cable volume.
Manufactured in the US. Constructed under strict Avocent production guidelines.
Designed in the US. Custom-designed, encrypted internal firmware.
Standard PS/2 Protocol. Standard PS/2 protocol is maintained to avoid the possibility of any external device detecting the presence of the SwitchView SC switch.
Clears Buffer. Automatically clears the keyboard buffer immediately after data is transmitted through the switch, so no data is ever left in the switch.
Reliable Performance. 8-port model uses an internal power supply for optimal processing performance.

Features and Benefits

Feature	Benefit
NIAP certification	The SwitchView SC switches are the only KVM switches validated to NIAP Common Criteria EAL4+ security requirements.
Designed for secure environments	Designed to make unintended data transfer between connected computers virtually impossible. Allows a user to safely switch between computers operating at different classification levels – without compromising network security.
Common access card (CAC) support (SC220, 240 & 280 only)	Common access card are required for all government employees attempting to log into government systems. This requirement is specified in the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD12). The 2x0 switches will allow the desktop IT administrators to only deploy a single CAC reader that will be switched to all targets computers connected to the switch. This will save them money by reducing the amount of CAC readers purchased and time by reducing the number of readers they have to support.
Advanced hardware security - The SC1x0 and 2x0 products offer 3 levels of hardware security.	Tamper evident tape - A visual indication of an attempt to gain access to the internal components of the switch Chassis intrusion detection prevents malicious tampering with the unit. If the cover is removed from the switch, The following events occur: The switch becomes inoperable A visual indication of intrusion is created with the LED’s constant flashing The switch becomes inoperable A visual indication of intrusion is created with the LED’s constant flashing. Lockable memory – prevents tampering and reprogramming of the firmware
USB and/or PS/2 support	Allows users with USB and/or PS/2 peripherals and target devices secure KVM switching
High resolution VGA video	Supports VGA video applications with video resolution up to 2048x1536@85Hz.
Windows or Sun support	Windows or Sun workstations are supported
Doubles as a monitor stand	Doubles as a monitor stand with zero footprint on the desk
Rack mountable (180 and 280 only)	Rack mount kit is included with the switch
Powered from target devices	The switches have the ability to be powered from the target devices
Clears Buffer	Automatically clears the keyboard buffer immediately after data is transmitted through the switch so no data is ever left in the switch
No “hot key” switching for added security	In order to eliminate the requirement for look ahead buffering within the switch and to overall simplify its operation, the “hot key” command mode functions have been removed from the product. Switching between channels will be accomplished solely by front panel push button which eliminates the need for keyboard character buffering.
