INSTALLATION

9.If the primary BANK is set to address 00, the KVM administrator must configure the Switch for daisy-chain usage. To do this, take the following steps:

(Note: You may see lines across some of the consoles, which is normal since it is in an invalid configuration until the “Daisy-Chain this Switch” option is activated).

a)Open the OSD by pressing the CTRL key twice, then the space bar, and enter Setup.

b)Go to the Options page, select the “Advanced” button.

c)In the Advanced Dialog, check the “daisy-chain this KVM” box.

d)A dialog will appear informing you that, “This will reset the KVM to change this setting.” Click “OK” to clear the dialog and automatically power cycle the Switch.

When the Switch reboots, it will interact with the remainder of the other daisy-chained Switches as expected. You can verify this by opening the OSD and scrolling through the list of computers; if any of the other Switch’s computers appear in BANK 00’s list, then it is working properly.

Note: If you don’t configure BANK 00 for use on the daisy-chain, then it will not be able to interact with any of the other Switches and they will not be able to interact with it. In addition, the unit’s front panel will not act the same as the other units’ front panels. Finally, there could be some unpredictable interactions caused by connecting an improperly configured BANK 00 to a daisy-chain.

Powering Up the Systems

Once all cables have been connected, power up the connected computers in any order. The Switch emulates both a mouse and keyboard on each port and allows your computer to boot normally; the Switch does not need to be powered on to emulate the keyboard and mouse.

The computer connected to port 01 of any primary KVM Switch will be displayed on the monitor. Check to see that the Switch is working normally by use of mouse, keyboard, hot keys, OSD, and/or front-panel push buttons. Proceed to do this with all occupied ports to verify that all computers are connected and responding correctly. If you encounter an error, check your cable connections for that computer and reboot, if necessary. If the problem persists, please call Belkin

technical support.

Note: For hot keys (e.g. up and down arrows) and AutoScan, the order of progression, when switching from one computer to the next, is dictated by the order of the computers in the list box, on the Main page of the OSD.
