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). Refer to the chart on page 24 for “BANK DIP” switch settings.
