INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Step-by-Step Installation Guide Single KVM Switch Installation Cautions and Warnings This section provides complete instructions for the hardware setup of a single SE Plus Series KVM Switch. Before attempting to connect anything to the Switch or your computers, please ensure that all equipment is powered off. Plugging and unplugging cables while computers are powered on may cause irreversible damage to the computers and/or the Switch(es).
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION USB Installation Connect the Computer PS/2 Installation 1. Using an OmniView KVM Cable (F3X1105-XX or F3X1835-XX-GLD), plug in the male VGA connector to the VGA port on the computer. Connect the other end (the female connector) of the VGA cable to the back of the Switch labeled “VGA 01”. 2. Connect the PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse connectors to the keyboard and mouse ports on the computer.
INSTALLATION Connecting Multiple KVM Switches (Daisy-Chaining) You can daisy-chain up to four OmniView SE Plus Series KVM Switches together, giving a server administrator control over a maximum of 16 computers. When daisy-chained together, each unit is referred to as a “BANK” and assigned an address. The Console keyboard, mouse, and monitor connect to BANK 00 and are referred to as the “Master” switch. BANKs 01 through 03 are referred to as “Slave” switches.
INSTALLATION Installation Before you begin: 1. Make sure that all computers are powered off and that each Switch has been assigned a unique BANK address. 2. Place Master and Slave switches in the desired location. Make sure all are turned off and unplugged from the power source. 3. Connect the Console monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the Console ports of the Master switch or BANK 00, as described previously in this User Manual. Connecting the Master Switch to First Slave Switch 4.
USING YOUR SWITCH Select connected computers by either the direct-access port-selectors, located on the front panel of the Switch, or hot key commands, through the console keyboard. It takes approximately 1-2 seconds for the video signal to refresh after switching computers. Re-synchronization of the mouse and keyboard signals also occurs. This is normal operation and ensures that proper synchronization is established between the console and the connected computers.
USING YOUR KVM SWITCH USING YOUR KVM SWITCH AutoScan Mode Connecting Computers Pressing the AutoScan button on the Switch will activate the AutoScan function.
