Single-unit operation or Daisy-chained operation
The OmniView™PRO has the capability to be daisy-chained to 15 more units (for a total
of 16), giving the user control over a maximum of 256 computers!
Each OmniView™PRO unit is defined as a “BANK.” See diagram above for more
information. BANK numbers range from 0 to F (hexadecimal), for a total of 16 BANKs.
BANK 0 is the MASTER bank, while banks 1 through F are slave banks. The MASTER
bank is the unit that connects to the console keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
The DIP switches must be set correctly for proper identification and usage. See the next
section for the actual settings. If you are using the OmniView™PRO in a single-unit
configuration, it must be set as the MASTER (BANK 0). If it is to be used as a slave
unit, then it must be set to any unused unique bank number from 1 through F.
BANK 0 (MASTER)
BANK 1 (SLAVE)
BANK 2 (SLAVE)
BANK F (SLAVE)
