The OmniView™PRO has the capability to be daisy-chained to 3 more units (for a total of 4),
giving the user control over a maximum of 16 computers!
Each OmniView™PRO unit is defined as a BANK. See diagram above for more information.
BANK numbers range from 0 to 3, for a total of 3 BANKs. BANK 0 is the MASTER bank, while
banks 1 through 3 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 3.

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.

2. Connect the monitor to the OmniView™PRO. Using the attached cable, or the one
included with your monitor, connect it to the HDDB15 female port on the back of the
OmniView™PRO labeled with the monitor symbol at the CONSOLE section.
