OVERVIEW

Feature Overview

The OmniView SOHO Series USB KVM Switch with Audio (the KVM Switch) allows you to control up to four computers, with one USB keyboard and USB mouse and a VGA, SVGA, XGA, or XGA-2 video monitor.

USB Hot Keys

Hot keys allow you to select ports using designated key commands from your USB keyboard. Control up to two (for the 2-port unit) or four (for the 4-port unit) computers, using a simple hot key sequence on your keyboard.

AutoScan

The AutoScan feature allows you to automatically scan and monitor the activities of all operating computers connected to your KVM Switch, one by one.

Video Resolution

With a 400MHz bandwidth, the KVM Switch supports video resolutions of up to 2048x1536@85Hz. To preserve signal integrity at high resolutions, 75-Ohm coaxial VGA cabling is required.

Flash Upgrade

Flash upgradeability allows you to obtain the latest firmware upgrades for your KVM Switch. These upgrades will let your KVM Switch continue to be compatible with the latest devices and computers. Firmware upgrades are free for the lifetime of the product. Visit belkin.com for upgrade information and support, or see the enclosed instruction document.

Microphone/Audio Support

The KVM Switch supports USB-type speakers and microphones and has built-in microphone and speaker jacks to support the growth of multimedia use in small-office and home-office environments. This feature eliminates the need to disconnect and reconnect these devices when switching between computers, and reduces the clutter on your desktop with fewer speakers.

OVERVIEW

Direct-Access Port Selectors

Direct-access port selectors, conveniently located on the front face of the KVM Switch, allow for simple, manual port selection.

Cable Management

The designed enclosure offers built-in cable management to contain connected cables. Once the cables have been connected and the shroud slid into place, the cables are conveniently maintained through the back opening.

LED Display

An LED display is added to the face of the KVM Switch for easy status monitoring. A lit LED indicates which computer the console has control of. The corresponding direct-access port selector is located next to the LED. When pushed, the LED should light next to the port selector.

USB Device Ports

Two USB device ports allow you to add shared peripherals. This reduces cable clutter and eliminates the need to disconnect and reconnect devices when switching between computers.
