Emerson Network Power First to Earn EAL2+ Common Criteria Certification for Secure KVM Switch Series
In this video, I am explaining how 3 Way lighting circuits work. You've all seen it, you can turn your kitchen light on in the hall then turn it off as you walk through your back door, a very simple yet confusing circuit if you can't see how ti works. The schematic i have drawn is the best way to visualize how exactly the circuit works. If you need further explanation or don't know something, please feel free to message/comment me, i always answer as soon as i can. As always when doing anything electrical if you are not comfortable or do not feel you know enough about what your doing seek help from a licensed electrician. I am a licensed electrician, and i know all the safety that must be done when working with any type of circuit. Do not lack in safety when working with electricity. Video Rating: 4 / 5
Huntsville, AL (PRWEB) August 10, 2011Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson and a global leader in maximizing availability, capacity and efficiency of critical infrastructure, today announced the Avocent SwitchView® SC600 and SC700 are the industry’s first secure KVM switches to receive EAL2+ Common Criteria certification. The certification extends a history of KVM leadership that started with the introduction of the secure KVM in 2000 and includes the first secure USB KVM switch and the first secure dual-head DVI switch.
Delivering secure access for any desktop environment with controlled USB connectivity, the next-generation secure switch series offers improved work efficiency while saving desktop space by eliminating redundant hardware and cables. Enhanced with the new profile certification that was introduced by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) in 2010, the switches enable the user to consolidate multiple workstations of varying security classification levels with one keyboard, monitor and mouse without compromising the network security.
“Being the first to market with EAL2+ certification marks another significant milestone and underscores our commitment to provide secure access for any desktop environment where security is mandatory while keeping pace with stringent government standards,” said Michael Helms, director of product management for Emerson Network Power’s Avocent business.
Both the Avocent SwitchView SC600 and SC700 switches feature multiple layers of security, including tamper-proof hardware security at the desktop. In addition, the secure switch ensures that only keyboard and mouse function on target computers by constantly monitoring all devices attached to the console ports. These switches ignore communication from all other USB devices (such as flash drives, hard disk drives, cameras and printers) when switching data to the target.
Common Criteria is an internationally recognized set of guidelines (ISO 15408), which define a common framework for evaluating security features and capabilities of information technology security products. The standard consists of several stringent predetermined evaluation assurance levels. To ensure consistency, vendor products are tested against a chosen level by an independent third-party testing laboratory.
The NIAP Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme for IT Security (CCEVS), was established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Security Agency (NSA) to evaluate IT product conformance to international standards within the framework of the Common Criteria.

@theUltinator haha i wandered when anyone would say something about that. yes technically it should be called a 2 way light circuit, because you control the light from 2 switches not 3. I can’t figure it out myself, and get this, when you place a 3rd switch in the middle its called a 4 way lighting circuit, and the 2 switches here in this video are called 3 way light switches and the one switch that would be in the middle is called a 4 way light switch, go figure!!! thanks for watching!
Is this not a two way lighting circuit?
I say it because there are two ways of lighting the circuit via two switches.
Therefore its a two way lighting circuit.
Thank you and goodnight.
@GManM88 well on a go kart, you wouldn’t really want a setup like this, all you would need is just a standard on/off switch, hook + to switch, then off the other leg of switch goes to + on bulb, then connect – from bulb to – on battery. Thanks for watching
ok i kinda know it now lol. im going to place a light on my go kart so this makes the task a bit more clear
@pragill thanks! just wish my camera work was a small better on this one haha. thanks for watching
