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)
ETC... ETC...

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

2. Find a convenient place to put your OmniView™PRO. Its 19" form factor makes it
ideal for 19" 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.
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.

cable (Belkin Part# F2N025-XX-T or A3H981-XX), connect the male end of the cable

back of OmniView™PRO.
