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 128 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.

NOTE: "ON" is down
1. Set the DIP switches. If you have only one OmniView™PRO, use the MASTER bank setting.
If the OmniView™PRO you are using will be daisy-chained off another unit, use a unique
slave setting. Please refer to the previous section for more information.

PLEASE FOLLOW THIS INSTALLATION PROCEDURE EXACTLY. NOT DOING SO MAY RESULT
IN KEYBOARD AND/OR MOUSE ERRORS, OR FAULTY OPERATION.
WARNING: Before attempting to connect anything to the OmniView™PRO or
the computers, make sure everything is powered off. Plugging and unplugging
cables may cause irreversible damage to your computers and the OmniView™
PRO. Belkin Components will not be held responsible for damage caused.
BANK ADDRESS
2. Find a convenient place to put your OmniView™PRO. Its 48.3cm form factor makes it ideal
for 48.3cm racks. When mounting to a rack, attach the included brackets to the sides of
the OmniView™PRO. Take note of the length of your cables so that your computers,
OmniView™PRO, keyboard, mouse, and monitor are distanced properly.
