Installation
Pre-Configuration
Where to Place the KVM Switch
The OmniView PS/2 KVM Switch is designed to sit on the desktop. Where you
place the KVM Switch will be based on the location of your CPUs and the length
of your cables.
ConsiderthefollowingwhendecidingwheretoplacetheKVM
Switch:
• whether or not you intend to use the port-selector button
• the lengths of the cables attached to your keyboard, monitor, and mouse
• the location of your computers in relation to your console
• the lengths of the cables you use to connect your computers to the KVM
Switch
Cable-DistanceRequirements:
ForPS/2Computers:
VGA signals transmit best up to 25 feet (7.6m). Beyond that length, the
probability of video degradation increases. For this reason, Belkin recommends
that the length of the cables between the KVM Switch and the connected
computers does not exceed 25 feet (7.6m).
Cautions and Warnings!
Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air-conditioning equipment, or
machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).
