SEAMLESS CURSOR SWITCHING (SCS)
Seamless cursor switching allows the user to change automatically from one highly isolated
computer system to another as the mouse cursor crosses display borders, without having to push
any buttons.
Audio and keyboard will “follow” the mouse from one computer to the next as the cursor moves
from screen to screen.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
• What is the difference between a KM and a KVM?
KVMs are designed to switch displays, allowing the user to only see and manage one target device. When
using a KM switch, users can see all connected computers, securely, at the same time. A KM switch is a
device that switches a single keyboard and mouse between multiple computers. It is essentially a KVM
switch without the video switching; all displays are continuously connected to their respective computers,
so that all connected devices can be managed seamlessly, in real time. To navigate from one computer to
the next, simply move your mouse cursor from one monitor to the next.
• Can a Secure KVM be used as a KM?
No, Secure KVMs are designed to switch video as well as mouse and keyboard at the push of a button.
On a KM, the switching channel is done by just moving the mouse cursor from monitor to monitor.
• When should a Belkin Secure KM Switch be used?
A KM switch should be used when one user needs to work simultaneously with multiple displays attached
to multiple computers using a single keyboard and mouse. Multiply displays can be connected to each
computer that is connected to the Belkin Secure KM. The Belkin Secure KM is designed to support up to
32 monitors connected and working simultaneously in any possible monitor setup.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
• Are Belkin KM Switches as secure as Belkin KVM Switches?
The Belkin Secure KM Switch is a derivative of the award winning Belkin Secure KVM product line,
and is equipped with the same high security features: Active Always-On Anti-Tampering, Heavy-Duty
Tamper-Resistant Enclosure, Tamper Evident Label, Unidirectional Data Paths, Dedicated Processors for
Emulation, USB Port Protection, Non- Reprogrammable Firmware, Tamper-Proof Hardware, and more.
• Can I use a KM with multiple-display computers?
Yes, The Belkin Secure KM can be easily configured to support dual, triple, or quad head monitors on up
to eight computers. This allows the 4-Port Secure KM to support up to 16 monitors, and the 8-Port Secure
KM to support up to 32 monitors. Multi-display operation requires installation of a software driver and is
supported on computers running Windows Operating Systems.
• How to define monitor-layout for a KM connected to multiple-display computers?
The KM arrives with a predefined set multi-monitor-layout presets. These Presets can be activated by
using specific keyboard shortcuts.
Further customization of multi-display KM monitor layout is to be done at the administrator level only, prior
to a deployment to the end-users that will operate the device.
