OSD Time:

Specifies the amount of time the OSD menu is displayed. Also specifies the amount of time the “Port Identification” tag displays on-screen after making a port selection. You may choose 7, 15, 30, or 60 seconds.

For both settings, you may use the arrow keys to navigate. After you have selected the desired time intervals, push “Enter” to save the entry. The OSD time applies to both Console A and Console B.

Press the “ESC” key again to exit On-Screen Display completely.

If there are Secondary switches connected, and the AutoScan time and OSD time settings are set on the Primary unit only, they will also apply to all Secondary switches.

Updating Firmware:

Flash upgradeable firmware allows you to obtain the latest firmware upgrades for your MATRIX2. This enables your MATRIX2 to maintain consistent compatibility with the latest devices and computers. Firmware upgrades are free for the life of your unit.

To update your firmware, download the appropriate firmware file and utility from belkin.com. The utility automatically guides you through the process of updating the firmware on your MATRIX2.

Cautions and Warnings:

We strongly recommend that you update your firmware only if you are currently experiencing mouse and keyboard problems with your MATRIX2, as reconfiguring software may lead to unexpected operational problems. Please contact Belkin Tech Support if you need assistance.

USING YOUR MATRIX2

To update the firmware, you will need the following items:

1.A separate computer running Windows 95, 98, or Me. This computer must not be connected to the CPU ports on the MATRIX2.

2.An available parallel port on the computer.

3.A custom flash cable (DB25 Male-to-RJ45; included with purchase) that connects between the MATRIX2 and the computer.

4.Firmware updates files, available at belkin.com.

Connecting Computers:

1.Connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the computer you prepared for firmware update. It must run Windows 95, 98, or Me.

2.Connect the power adapter to the MATRIX2. Be sure that all connected computers are powered off at this moment.

3.Connect the custom flash cable (DB25 Male-to-RJ45; included with purchase). Connect one end of DB25 to your computer’s parallel port and the other end of RJ45 to the MATRIX2’s flash upgrade jack.

Setting the MATRIX2 into Flash Mode:

The MATRIX2 has four Flash DIP switches:

DIP Switch 1

Mouse

DIP Switch 2

Keyboard

DIP Switch 3

Main

DIP Switch 4

OSD

The DIP switch should be set to the “ON” position when you are attempting to update the particular firmware. For instance, set the DIP switch to “ON” to update flash keyboard firmware. While updating firmware, no more than one DIP switch at a time should be set to the “ON” position.

1.Once the above steps have been completed, run the flash software executable. Make sure that the appropriate Flash DIP switch is set to the “ON” position. Only one firmware can be “flashed” at one time.
