Example:
Four 8-Port MATRIX2s (F1DM208T) are daisy-chained together for
controlling up to 32 computers. The DIP switch on the Primary switch is
set to “BANK address 00” (factory default) and the Secondary switches are
each set to a unique BANK address between 01 and 15.
INSTALLATION
4. Using the OmniView MATRIX KVM Cable, plug the male DB25
connector to an available port, such as “CPU2”, on the back of
the MATRIX2.
5. Connect the male VGA connector located on the other end of the
cable to the VGA port on the computer.
6. Connect the USB cable’s “A-type” connector to an available USB port
on your computer.
Note: We recommend you attach the KVM cable directly to a free USB
port on your computer.
Repeat steps 1 through 6 above for each additional USB computer you
wish to connect to the MATRIX2.
Power on all connected computers. The MATRIX2 is now ready to use.

Connecting Multiple MATRIX2s (Daisy-Chaining):

You can daisy-chain up to 16 MATRIX2s together to control over a
maximum of 256 computers. When daisy-chained together, each
MATRIX2 is referred to as a “BANK” and assigned an address. The
Console keyboard, mouse, and monitor connects to BANK 00 and is
referred to as the “Primary” switch. BANKS 01 through 15 are referred to
as “Secondary” switches.
Note: A MATRIX Series daisy-chain cable (F1D9302-XX) is required to
daisy-chain each MATRIX2 and is available through your Belkin
reseller or online at belkin.com.
All MATRIX2s feature a “BANK DIP” switch. The BANK DIP switch is used
for proper identification and use of OmniView KVM Switches in a
single-unit or daisy-chain configuration.
•F
or a single-unit configuration, set the BANK DIP switch on the
MATRIX2 to the “Primary” (BANK address 00) setting. This is the
factory default setting.
•F
or multi-unit configuration, the BANK DIP switch on the Primary unit
must be set to “BANK address 00”. Secondary units must be set to a
unique BANK address (from 01 through 15). Refer to the following
chart for DIP switch settings.
