INSTALLATION
Pre-Configuration
Where to Place the KVM Switch:
The OmniView E Series KVM Switch is designed to sit on the desktop. Where you place the KVM Switch will be based on the location of your CPUs and the length of your cables.
Cable Distance Requirements:
For PS/2 computers: VGA signals are best retained when transmitted up to 25 feet (7.5m). Beyond 25 feet (7.5m), probability of video degradation increases with an increase in distance. For this reason, your PS/2 computer should be placed within 25 feet (7.5m) of the KVM Switch.
Note: If your computer needs to be more than 25 feet (7.5m) from the KVM switch, you can use the Belkin CAT5 Extender to extend your PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and monitor up to 500 feet (152.4m) away using standard CAT5 UTP cable.
