Belkin F1DP108G Daisy-Chaining Multiple KVM Switches Optional, How to Assign a Bank Address

Local Installation

Daisy-Chaining Multiple KVM Switches (Optional)

Note: If you are only installing a single SMB KVM-over-IP Switch, skip to the “Remote Installation” section on page 28.

You can daisy-chain up to 15 additional OmniView SMB and PRO2 KVM Switches to your OmniView SMB KVM-over-IP Switch, allowing a server administrator to manage up to a maximum of 256 servers from one local or remote console. Each daisy-chained KVM Switch is referred to as a “BANK” and is assigned an address. The SMB KVM-over-IP Switch connected to the console keyboard, mouse, and monitor can only function as the “primary” KVM switch. BANKs 01 through 15 are referred to as “secondary” KVM switches.

Note: The SMB KVM-over-IP Switch can only function as the primary KVM switch. You cannot daisy-chain two SMB KVM-over-IP Switches together.

Note: A Daisy-Chain Cable (F1D108-CBL-XX) is required to daisy-chain each KVM Switch and is available through your Belkin reseller, or online at

www.belkin.com (U.S. only).

How to Assign a BANK Address

All SMB CAT5 and PRO2 KVM Switches feature a “BANK DIP” switch. The “BANK DIP” switch is used to assign the proper BANK address to each KVM Switch.

•For a multiunit configuration, the “BANK DIP” switch for each secondary unit must be set to a unique BANK address (from 01 through 15). For SMB CAT5 KVM Switches, refer to the chart on page 24 for “BANK DIP” switch settings. For PRO2 KVM Switches, refer to the PRO2 User Manual for “BANK DIP” switch settings.
