Before You Begin Personal and product safety CAUTION: Prevent ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage to ClientCube 2 and smart card readers by always discharging your body and smart card before using a reader (for example, by touching a grounded, unpainted, metal object). ESD can vary depending on many environmental conditions, including clothing that users wear and how they handle smart cards. ESD damage can potentially cause unsupported card reader behavior including failure.
Before You Begin, Continued Before setup (continued) Step Action 4 Optionally, install a CAC driver on any computing devices requiring CAC support. 5 If the ClientCube 2 includes a KM switch and you are connecting to computers with multi-head displays, install the Belkin Advanced Secure KM Switch Mouse Filter driver software (see www.clearcube.com/support). CAUTION Be sure to remove this driver from computers before using the computer without the Secure KM.
Setting up ClientCube 2 with KVM Switch, Continued Configure devices and connect The table below shows how to configure zero clients and remote hosts, and how to connect. Step 1 Action Configure zero clients using the zero client on-screen display (OSD). NOTE For more information about the OSD and configuration, see the appropriate zero client Quick Start Guide (included) and PC-over-IP System User’s Guide (download from ClearCube Support).
Setting up ClientCube 2 with KM Switch Set up ClientCube 2 and KM The table below shows how to set up ClientCube 2 with a KM switch. NOTE Be sure that ALL components (monitors, remote computers, zero clients, and so on) are : powered OFF before performing any of the steps below. Follow the steps in the order listed below (note that connecting power automatically powers on ClientCube 2).

In many cases, this can eliminate the need to use the mouse and toggle mouse modes as described below.
Connecting to Physical Devices Dependencies Configure zero clients and connect If you are connecting to physical devices (such as Blade PCs) with PCoIP host cards, use a Web browser to configure the host card as appropriate for your environment. For more information about Host Card configuration, see the appropriate zero client Quick Start Guide (included) and PC-over-IP System User’s Guide (download from ClearCube Support).
Configuring Zero Clients for VM Connections Overview Interaction between a KM, zero clients, and VMware components requires setting options on the zero client to bridge the USB keyboard and mouse to VMs. Set bridging options from the zero client Web interface before connecting to VMs. Find zero client IP address The table below shows how to find a zero client IP address. Use the zero client IP address to access the device’s Web interface for additional configuration steps.
