10. Attach the power supply to the power supply connector at the back of the
OmniView™PRO. Plug this into any available AC outlet. Flip the power switch on
the front of the OmniView™PRO. You should see the LED for Port 1 on the front
panel blink, and hear a beep. Power up your monitor.
11. You can now power up all your computers simultaneously. The first computer will
show up on the monitor. Check to see if the keyboard and mouse are
functioning properly, as well as the image displayed on the screen. If this is okay,
press the SELECT button and check the functionality of the other computers. If
you find any errors, double-check all of the cable connections.
NOTE: Avoid pressing any keys on the keyboard or moving the mouse if the currently
selected port has a computer that is in the process of booting up. This may cause the
computer to not detect or initialize the keyboard or mouse drivers properly.
Daisy-Chaining the OmniViewTM PRO:
The OmniView™PRO can be daisy-chained with additional OmniView™PRO units
through the DB25 daisy-chain ports. The F1D108–CBL daisy-chain cable is required (not
included) for proper operation. Please refer to the example below. Here, four
OmniView™PRO units are cascaded together for control over 64 computers. Recall that
a maximum of 16 OmniView™PRO units can be cascaded together for control over 256
computers. Recall that the DIP switches on the MASTER unit must be set to BANK 0,
and the slave units set to a unique BANK (any from 1 through F). See the beginning of
this section for more information on the DIP switch settings.
