Connecting Multiple PRO3 KVM Switches (Daisy-Chaining)

You can daisy-chain up to 16 PRO3 KVM Switches, allowing a server administrator to manage up to a maximum of 256 servers from one console. Each daisy-chained PRO3 KVM Switch is referred to as a “BANK” and is assigned an address. The PRO3 KVM Switch connected to the console keyboard, mouse, and monitor is BANK 00 and is referred to as the “primary” KVM switch. BANKs 01 through 15 are referred to as “secondary” KVM switches.

Note: Your PRO3 KVM Switch is backward-compatible with Belkin OmniView PRO2 KVM Switches with standard cabling (F1DA104T, F1DA108T, F1DA116T). In a daisy-chain configuration, the PRO3 KVM Switch with micro-cabling (F1DA104Z, F1DA108Z, F1DA116Z) must be designated as the primary KVM switch. (Refer to the diagram below.)

or online at www.belkin.com.
