Users access the MergePoint Unity switch and all attached systems via Ethernet or using a V.34, V.90 or V.92
modem from a client. The clients can be located anywhere a valid network connection exists.
FIPS cryptographic module
The MergePoint Unity switch supports FIPS 140-2 Level 1 cryptographic security requirements. The FIPS mode
of operation can be enabled or disabled via the OBWI or local port and is executed after a reboot. When the
FIPS module is enabled, a reboot of the switch requires approximately two additional minutes to complete a FIPS
mode integrity check. Also, when FIPS is enabled, if the keyboard, mouse or video encryption is set to 128-bit
SSL (ARCFOUR) or DES, the encryption level is automatically changed to the encryption level AES.
NOTE: The FIPS mode of operation is initially disabled and must be enabled to operate. The Setup port factory default setting will
automatically disable the FIPS module. The FIPSmode cannot be changed via the DSView software plug-in.
The MergePoint Unity switch uses an embedded FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module (Certificate #1051)
running on a Linux PPC platform per FIPS 140-2 Implementation Guidance section G.5 guidelines.
DSView management software plug-in
The DSView software may be used with the MergePoint Unity switch to allow IT administrators to remotely
access, monitor and control target devices on multiple platforms through a single, web-based user interface. For
more information, see the DSView Software Plug-In for MergePoint Unity Switches Technical Bulletin.
