1The PRO2 PS/2s allow you to control up to a maximum of 256 PS/2
computers with one keyboard, monitor, and mouse. They support PS/2
input devices (keyboard and mouse) as well as VGA, SVGA, XGA, and
XGA-2 video.
Feature Overview
Hot Keys:
Hot key functionality allows you to select a desired port using
designated key commands. By using a simple hot key sequence
on your keyboard, selecting one computer from as many as 256
computers is instantaneous. For a listing of complete hot key
instructions and commands, see pages 17-19
AutoScan:
The AutoScan feature allows you to set your PRO2 PS/2 to scan and
monitor the activities of all operating computers connected to the
switch—one by one. The time interval allotted for each computer can
be defined or adjusted through the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.
For complete instructions on AutoScan usage, please refer to page 18.
Video Resolution:
Through a 400MHz bandwidth, the PRO2 PS/2s support video
resolutions of up to 2048x1536@85Hz. To preserve signal integrity at
these higher resolutions, your PRO2 PS/2 requires 75-Ohm coaxial
VGA cabling
Flash Upgrade:
Flash upgradeable firmware allows you to install the latest firmware
for your PRO2 PS/2. This enables your PRO2 PS/2 to maintain
consistent compatibility with the latest devices and computers.
Firmware upgrades are free for the life of your PRO2 PS/2. Refer to
the enclosed flash upgrade instruction document or visit us at belkin.
com for complete upgrade information and support.
On-Screen Display (OSD):
The OSD feature simplifies server management by allowing you to
assign individual names to each connected server throughout the
system. It provides a visual means of switching between computers
and setting the time interval for the AutoScan function.

Front-Panel Push Button:
Direct-access port selectors, located conveniently on the front panel of
the PRO2 PS/2, allow for simple, manual port-selection. Each button
controls a port.
LED Display:
An LED display on the face of the PRO2 PS/2 serves as a status monitor.
An LED next to each direct-access port selector illuminates to indicate
that the console currently controls the corresponding computer. As a port
selector is pushed, the LED next to it will light up. A flashing port LED
indicates that there is no computer connected to that port.
Seven-Segment LED Display:
When daisy-chaining multiple PRO2 PS/2s together, the seven-segment
LED display serves as a quick indicator of the selected BANK.
Equipment Requirements Cables:
To connect to the PRO2 PS/2, each PS/2 computer requires one VGA
cable, one PS/2 keyboard cable, and one PS/2 mouse cable. Keyboard
and mouse cables must have PS/2 male-to-PS/2 male connectors.
Video resolution support of up to 2048x1536@85Hz requires use of a
75-Ohm coaxial VGA cable to preserve signal integrity. VGA cables must
have HDDB15 female-to-HDDB15 male connectors.
Belkin highly recommends that you use OmniView All-In-One PRO Series
Plus Cables. These cables offer the highest quality possible to ensure
optimal data transmission. All-In-One Cables are molded together for
a clean and organized setup; are double-shielded to reduce EMI/RFI
interference; have strain-relief construction for added durability; come
with a ferrite bead for noise immunity; and include PC99 color-coded
connectors for easy identification and connection. The PRO Series Plus
Cables include an industry-standard, 14-pin, coaxial VGA cable and
nickel-plated connectors for high-resolution applications.
