Belkin NIAP PP4.0 Secure KVM and KM Administrator Advanced Configurations – Adding Asset Tags

Last updated: 5/29/2024

All Belkin KVMs and KMs can store digital asset tags in the KVM, as well as display a physical sticker. This adds an additional layer of security and bookkeeping accountability.


Adding physical asset tags

A convenient, visible area has been marked on the casing of the KVM / KM for placing a physical asset tag but it can be placed anywhere you choose.
