The IOGEAR GCS1318TAA3 Secure KVM Switchbox is engineered for high-security, multi-system control in desktop and enterprise environments. Designed to manage up to eight computers from a single local workstation, it delivers crystal-clear 4K UHD video, rock-solid USB console sharing, and a security-first approach that prevents unauthorized switching through software or on-screen prompts. With pushbutton port selection only, this KVM switchbox minimizes attack surfaces while still offering streamlined administration for complex setups. Built to meet government and contractor-grade standards, it blends robust hardware with practical ease of use, making it an ideal choice for data centers, control rooms, labs, and secure work environments that demand both performance and compliance.

  • 8 computers plus 1 local user — Control up to eight PC hosts from a single USB console with one local workstation, enabling IT teams and operators to switch contexts quickly without toggling between multiple keyboards and mice. This design simplifies workflows in environments where rapid cross-system access is essential, such as development labs, QA suites, and multi-OS test benches. The arrangement keeps all essential peripherals centralized while preserving dedicated access for each connected system.
  • 9 HDMI interfaces and 4K UHD video Experience high-fidelity visuals with support for up to 3840x2160 at 30 Hz. The 4K UHD capability ensures crisp text, accurate color rendering, and smooth motion for multimedia, design, engineering, and data analysis tasks. Whether you’re running design software, virtual desktops, or large spreadsheets, the GCS1318TAA3 preserves image integrity across displays connected to the switch, delivering dependable performance in professional environments.
  • Pushbutton-only PORT SELECTION FOR enhanced security All switching is performed via physical pushbuttons, with no on-screen display (OSD) or hotkey methods allowed. This design eliminates software-based interference, reduces the risk of keyloggers or malware manipulating the switch, and aligns with strict security policies that prohibit hidden or programmable controls. For organizations requiring auditable, tamper-resistant access to multiple systems, this approach provides a clear, hardware-centric method to select the active host.
  • One USB console shared across all hosts A single USB keyboard/mouse (and other USB peripherals) can be used to control any of the eight connected computers through the switch. Shared USB access helps minimize peripheral clutter and streamlines management in environments with limited desktop space. This setup is especially beneficial for technicians, analysts, and operators who need a clean, efficient workspace while maintaining rapid cross-machine navigation.
  • TAA-compliant desktop KVM for secure deployments The GCS1318TAA3 is designed to meet Trade Agreements Act (TAA) requirements, making it suitable for government, defense, and contractor projects where procurement standards demand compliant equipment. Its compact desktop form factor fits neatly on a workspace, rack or cabinet shelf, allowing it to integrate into existing security- and space-conscious infrastructures while maintaining robust performance across all eight hosts.

How to install IOGEAR GCS1318TAA3 Secure KVM Switchbox

Setting up the GCS1318TAA3 is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime while maximizing security and performance. Follow these steps to configure the switchbox for immediate use in a secure environment:

  • Power down all devices that will connect to the KVM switch before making any cabling connections to avoid electrical surges or port damage.
  • Plan the cable layout by designating eight HDMI video sources (the PCs or servers) and one HDMI display monitor for the local workstation. Note the order if you require a specific host-to-button mapping for quick recognition during operation.
  • Connect each computer’s HDMI output to the corresponding HDMI input port on the KVM switch. Use high-quality HDMI cables suitable for 4K/30 Hz to ensure stable video performance.
  • Attach each computer’s USB keyboard and mouse (or a USB hub) to the KVM switch’s USB input ports, enabling shared USB peripheral control across all hosts. If you prefer, you can connect a single USB console (keyboard/mouse) to the switch and share it among all eight hosts.
  • Connect the KVM switch’s HDMI output to your display monitor(s) so the active host’s video is shown on the screen. Ensure the display is capable of 4K UHD at 30 Hz to match the switch’s output.
  • Power on the KVM switch first, followed by all connected computers. Verify that each host is recognized when switching between ports using the physical pushbuttons on the front panel.
  • Test peripheral responsiveness by moving the mouse and typing on the keyboard after switching to a given host. Confirm that the monitor, keyboard, and mouse respond correctly on each machine, and that network or USB devices connected through the switch behave as expected.
  • If you are deploying in a secure environment, document the mapping of each host to its corresponding pushbutton and establish a standard operating procedure for routine switching to maintain consistency and compliance.

A Must Read by Francis and Lisa Chan
Format: Paperback
I recently read the book, “You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity” by Francis and Lisa Chan. Out of all the books I have read in 2015, it has by far been the best and most convicting to me. I am single but I try to read books on marriage from couples that I respect because I find that I can still learn from them and it is good preparation for the future if God does call me to be married. However, this was unlike any other marriage book I have read in the fact that it was less about marriage and more about one’s relationship with Christ. That being said, this book is not just for those who are marred. It is for married people, single people, those with kids, and those without kids. For anyone who wants to grow in their relationship with Christ and increase their eternal perspective — this book is for you. By the end of the first chapter I was hooked and already challenged in my own relationship with the Lord. The book encourages those who are married to live in such a way that they would bring their spouses and children closer to Christ each day. The lifestyle that Francis and Lisa write about is not a comfortable one, and they speak truth that is not easy for others to hear but is crucial for Eternity. Francis writes, “People accuse me of going overboard in preparing for my first ten million years in eternity. In my opinion, people go overboard in worrying about their last ten years on earth.” He also makes the point that most problems couples encounter are not marriage problems, but God problems. This principle isn’t just for folks who are married but for everyone. Chan states, “Again, our marriage problems are not really marriage problems. They are heart problems. They are God problems. Our lack of intimacy with God causes a void that we try to fill with the frailest of substitutes. Like wealth or pleasure. Like fame or respect. Like people. Like marriage.” This was such a good reminder for me. It is so easy to get consumed with the relationships or material things we have. These things are not bad but the problems begin when we put them before our relationship with Christ. He goes on to say, “Eternal-mindedness keeps us from silly arguments. There’s no time to fight. We have better things to pursue than our interests. Too much is at stake! God created us for a purpose. We can’t afford to waste our lives. We can’t afford to waste our marriage by merely pursuing our own happiness.” Each chapter of the book has one goal in mind and that is to bring the reader closer to the Savior. I would recommend that you add this to your reading list if you have not already. This would also be a great book to read together with your spouse or to read and discuss with a small group whether it be a group of singles or other married couples. However, be prepared to grow in your relationship with Jesus and ready to be taken out of your comfort zone. It may be hard but will be worth it. Also, 100% of the net proceeds from this book will support various ministries including those that help provide shelter and rehabilitation for thousands of children and exploited women around the world. :)

Great Insight on Marriage for Christians
Format: Paperback
This book has amazing insight for Christian couples on how to build a great marriage. It is not like the other marriage help books. It's insight flies in the face of I've seen taught in other books on marriage. Yet the book has Biblical insight on marriage that is more useful and accurate than any other I have seen. I suspect this book will be of little use to folks who are not Christians (Christians are folks who have surrendered to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and who earnestly desire to please Him). Yet for Christians, this book will speak truth and provide insight that is Biblical, true, and that probably has the best chance of helping you develop a deeper, richer marriage. Not that I am any expert on marriage, but I find the Holy Spirit within me leaping in support of many of the principles that Francis & Lisa painted across the pages of this book. The book is also elegantly and artfully written, so it is an easy and enjoyable read. If you are a Christian and want a deeper, richer, Biblical marriage, then this book is worth every cent, and it's insight will last a lot longer than that latte whose scent may be drifting though your thoughts at this moment.
