Daisy-Chaining the OmniView™MATRIX

(Skip if you only have one unit):

The OmniView™MATRIX can be daisy-chained with additional OmniView™MATRIX units through the DB25 daisychain ports. The F1D208-CBL daisy-chain cable (not included) is required for proper operation. Please refer to the example below. Here, two OmniView™MATRIX units are cascaded together for control over 16 computers. Recall that a maximum of 16 OmniView™MATRIX units can be cascaded together for control over 128 computers. Adding additional units does not add more consoles to your system. Please note that the F1D208-CBL is a 3-headed cable specially designed for daisy-chaining OmniView™MATRIX units together.

MASTER (or previous slave)

SLAVE (or successive slave)

Hardware Installation

(continued)

First, you must connect the computers to the slave unit (or units), as shown in the previous section. DO NOT POWER UP THE COMPUTERS CONNECTED TO THE SLAVE UNIT(S) YET. Please refer to the diagram above.

• Using the F1D208-CBL, connect the DB25 to the "Input" connector on the MASTER unit. Connect the HDDB15 "A" cable to the "A/IN", and the HDDB15 "B" cable to the "B/IN"on the MASTER.

• At the slave side, connect the DB25 to the "Output" connector on the slave unit. Connect the HDDB15 "A" cable to the "BANK OUT" connector under Console A, and the HDDB15 "B" cable to the "BANK OUT" under Console B on the slave.

• To add more slave units, refer to the diagram and repeat the process above.

• Upon connecting the daisy-chain cable to the previous unit, it should automatically power up if the previous unit is powered up. However, it is still recommended that the power supply be used with the slave unit. You will see the LED display on the front panel show the units bank address setting.

• RESET the MASTER unit by pressing the BANK and any port button simultaneously. This is necessary for the MASTER unit to detect the newly added slave unit.

• Verify that the MASTER unit has detected the new slave by pressing the BANK button. If it detected the new slave properly, the LED display on the MASTER will register the slave unit’s bank address. If you have many slave units, you may have to press the BANK button many times to cycle through all of the preexisting slave units before reaching the newly added unit.

• Now you can power up the computers connected to the newly added slave unit. After all the computers have booted up, you may need to RESET the MASTER unit again to detect the presence of powered computers on the new slave unit.

NOTE: The OmniView

™

MATRIX 2x8 can only be daisy-chained to other OmniView™MATRIX 2x8 units. They are not

daisy-chain compatible with any other KVM switch.

Keyboard Hot key commands:

You can also conveniently command the OmniView™MATRIX to switch ports through simple keyboard key sequences. To send commands to the OmniView™MATRIX, the SCROLL LOCK key must be pressed twice within 2 seconds. You will hear a beep for confirmation. Below are the different commands:

Switch to PREVIOUS ACTIVE port

(on the same BANK)

Switch to NEXT ACTIVE port

(on the same BANK)

Switch to the PREVIOUS BANK

(by default, selects first active port on that BANK)

Switch to the NEXT BANK

(by default, selects first active port on that BANK)

Directly switches to port Y on BANK X

X = {0 to F} hexadecimal, Y = {1 to 8}

You can switch directly to any port by giving the OmniView

™

MATRIX the BANK and PORT numbers. For instance, if you

press SCROLL LOCK, SCROLL LOCK, [2], [5], the computer on PORT 5 of the OmniView

™

MATRIX set to BANK 2 will be

selected. In the following diagram, that is PC # 21. Hence, if you only have one OmniView

™

MA TRIX, the first key (X) must

be "0".

Selecting which computer to operate can be done either by On-Screen Display, the SELECT PC PORT buttons, or through keyboard Hot key commands. You will notice that after the OmniView™MATRIX switches to another computer, the mouse will be inoperative for about 1-2 seconds. This is normal operation and ensures that proper mouse synchronization is established.

Simultaneous Access:

• When both consoles have selected the same PC port, the first console that switched to that PC port has control of

its keyboard and mouse. The second console merely “views.”

• Both consoles cannot control the same PC port at the same time. If console A has control, and console B is viewing, then console A must switch to another port in order for console B to have control.

• Although a power supply is not necessary to make the slave unit work, try adding a power supply.

Q: What if the mouse and keyboard don’t work? A: • The unit is in SCAN MODE.

• Both consoles are on the same PC port. In this case, only one console has control over the PC. See USAGE section for more help.

Monitor/Video Problems:

Q: I am getting ghosting, shadowing or fuzzy images on my monitor. What do I do? A: • Check the cables and make sure they are inserted properly.

• Your resolution and/or refresh rate is extremely high, or your cable is too long. Replace your VGA cables with coaxial, double-shielded cables such as Belkin A3H981-XX.

• Check to make sure that the power adapter is plugged in and is working properly. It must be 12VDC, 1000mA minimum. Make sure the power switch is on.

• Lower you refresh rate and/or screen resolution settings.

Keyboard Problems:

Q: The keyboard is not detected, or a keyboard error is reported during boot-up. A: • Check the cables and make sure they are inserted properly in the correct ports.

• Check to make sure that the power adapter is plugged in and is working properly. It must be 12VDC, 1000mA minimum. Make sure the power switch is on.

• RESET the OmniView

™

MATRIX by simultaneously pressing the BANK and SCAN buttons on the front panel.

Access the OSD menu again and it should have re-detected all the active ports.

• Do not press any keys on the keyboard while the selected computer is booting up. This is true for any PC, whether stand-alone or connected to a KVM switch.

Troubleshooting

F1D208-OSD_EU_man.qxd 4/20/00 4:37 PM Page 15

Troubleshooting

(continued)

Q: The computers boot up fine, but the keyboard does not work. A: • Check the cables and make sure they are inserted properly in the correct ports.

• Make sure the keyboard works when directly plugged into the computers.

• Try a different keyboard, but use only 101, 102 or 104-key keyboards.

• Make sure that the keyboard driver is for 101, 102 or 104-key keyboards, and not old XT keyboards.

• Check to make sure that the power adapter is plugged in and is working properly. It must be 12VDC, 1000mA minimum. Make sure the power switch is on.

• RESET the OmniView™MATRIX by simultaneously pressing the BANK and SCAN buttons on the front panel. Access the OSD menu again and it should have re-detected all the active ports.

PS/2 Mouse Problems at the console or computers:

Q: The mouse is not detected during boot-up. A: • Check the cables and make sure they are inserted properly in the correct ports.

• Check your computer/motherboard documentation making sure that the PS/2 mouse port (or IRQ) is enabled.

• Make sure the mouse is detected when directly plugged into the computer. Rebooting is necessary when trying this. If the computer still does not detect the mouse, then your computer’s PS/2 mouse port has a problem.

• RESET the OmniView™MATRIX by simultaneously pressing the BANK and SCAN buttons on the front panel. Access the OSD menu again and it should have re-detected all the active ports.

Q: The computers boot up fine, but the mouse does not work. A: • Check the cables and make sure they are inserted properly in the correct ports.

• Make sure the mouse works when directly plugged into the computer. Rebooting is necessary when trying this. If the mouse pointer still does not move, then either your PS/2 mouse port or the mouse itself has a problem.

• Try a different mouse.

• Make sure the mouse is a true PS/2 mouse. A combo mouse will work just as long as it is set for PS/2 mode with the correct adapter. A serial-only mouse with a combo mouse adapter WILL NOT work.

• Check to make sure that the power adapter is plugged in and is working properly. It must be 12VDC, 1000mA minimum. Make sure the power switch is on.

• RESET the OmniView™MATRIX by simultaneously pressing the BANK/SCAN and CHANNEL buttons on the front panel. Access the OSD menu again and it should have re-detected all the active ports.

Q: When I switch from one port to another, mouse movement is completely erratic.

What do I do?

A: • RESET the OmniView™MATRIX by simultaneously pressing the BANK and SCAN buttons on the front panel.

Access the OSD menu again and it should have re-detected all the active ports.

• Make sure you do not have more than one mouse driver. Make sure that the driver is either for a Standard PS/2 or Microsoft®-compatible PS/2 mouse. Try to obtain the latest version from your hardware manufacturer.

• If you are using a specialized mouse such as a cordless mouse, scrolling mouse or mice with more than 2 operational buttons, use generic PS/2 mouse drivers. Non-standard mice often use non-PS/2 proprietary mouse protocol.

• Make sure you do not have any mouse drivers loaded in your config.sys or autoexec.bat files.

• Avoid moving the mouse or pressing the mouse buttons when switching ports.

• Reset the mouse to resume proper mouse movement simply by unplugging the mouse from the front of the OmniView™MATRIX for about 2-3 seconds, and plugging it in again.

F1D208-OSD_EU_man.qxd 4/20/00 4:37 PM Page 16

Problems with computers using the serial mouse output:

Note: The OmniView™MATRIX has Integrated Mouse Conversion Technology. This technology converts the

PS/2 mouse signals at the console to serial mouse signals. Windows

9x Control Panel System applet may not display that it has detected a mouse, but the Modem applet will show a serial mouse at a certain serial port.

Q: The computers boot up fine, but the mouse does not work. A: • Check the cables and make sure they are inserted properly in the correct ports.

• Check the cable and make sure that it is a straight-through DB9 male/female cable such as Belkin Part# F2N209-XX-T (XX is the length in feet).

• Check your computer/motherboard documentation to make sure that the serial ports are enabled, and that there are no IRQ or base address conflicts with other serial ports or modems.

• Plug in a serial mouse directly to your computer, and reboot. If the mouse pointer still does not move, then there may be no serial mouse drivers installed, or the serial port on your computer may have other conflicts or problems.

• Try a different PS/2 mouse at the console.

• Make sure the mouse (at the console) is a true PS/2 mouse. A combo mouse will work just as long as it is set for PS/2 mode with the correct adapter. A serial-only mouse with a combo mouse adapter WILL NOT work.

• Check to make sure that the power adapter is plugged in and is working properly. It must be 12VDC, 1000mA minimum. Make sure the power switch is on.

• RESET the OmniView

™

MATRIX by simultaneously pressing the BANK and SCAN buttons on the front

panel. Access the OSD menu again and it should have re-detected all the active ports.

Q: When I switch from one port to another, mouse movement is completely erratic. What do I do? A: • RESET the OmniView

MATRIX by simultaneously pressing the BANK and SCAN buttons on the front

panel. Access the OSD menu again and it should have re-detected all the active ports.

• Make sure you do not have more than one serial mouse driver loaded. Make sure that the driver is either for a Standard Serial or Microsoft®-compatible serial mouse.

• Avoid using a specialized mouse at the console such as a cordless mouse, scrolling mouse or mice with more than 2 operational buttons. Non-standard mice often use non-PS/2 proprietary mouse protocol.

• Make sure you do not have any other mouse drivers loaded in your config.sys or autoexec.bat files.

• Avoid moving the mouse or pressing the mouse buttons when switching ports.

• Reset the mouse to resume proper mouse movement simply by unplugging the mouse from the OmniView™MATRIX for about 2-3 seconds, and plugging it in again.

Q: The wheel on the IntelliMouse

does not work on my computer. Why?

A: • The Integrated Mouse Conversion Technology converts only the standard PS/2 signals which are the

buttons and the x and y coordinate movement, but not the wheel movement or wheel button. This is because the wheel and wheel button data use non-PS/2 protocol.

Note about the Optional Serial Mouse port at the console: If you have tried all possible troubleshooting methods, you can plug in a serial mouse (as a second mouse) at the optional serial mouse input port. See the Product Detail Section for the diagram. This mouse will be directly connected to the serial mouse ports on the OmniView™MATRIX. Note that the serial mouse signals will not be converted to PS/2 mouse signals, so if you have other PCs using PS/2 mouse ports, you must keep the PS/2 mouse at the console. This serial mouse is a second mouse, and is active only when on a computer that uses the serial mouse output.

Nous vous remercions d’avoir choisi le commutateur OmniView™MATRIX KVM (clavier/vidéo/souris) de Belkin Components. Il n’a jamais été aussi facile de commander 8 PC à partir de deux claviers, souris et moniteurs !

L ’OmniV iew™MATRIX constitue le fin du fin en matière de commande de PC. Compatible avec les ordinateurs AT et PS/2, il possède de nombreuses caractéristiques telles que le paramétrage à l’écran OSD (On-Screen Display), la technologie de conversion de souris intégrée et des ports DB25/HDDB15 de mise en cascade séparés. Il est doté d’une émulation souris et clavier complète pour des démarrages sans erreur et il supporte la souris Microsoft

Intellimouse®. L ’OmniV iew™MATRIX est également conçu pour gérer les résolutions les plus exigeantes allant jusqu’à 1600 x 1200, et ce sans dégradation visible de la qualité de l’image.

Installation du matériel

Configuration simple ou en cascade

L’OmniView™MATRIX peut être mis en cascade avec 15 autres unités (dans une configuration regroupant donc 16 unités au total), ce qui permet à l’utilisateur de commander jusqu’à 128 ordinateurs !

Chaque OmniView™MATRIX est appelé BANC (“Bank”). Pour de plus amples informations, référez-vous au schéma ci-dessus. Les numéros de BANCS sont compris entre 0 et F (hexadécimal), avec un total de 16 BANCS. Le BANC 0 est le banc MAÎTRE (“Master”), tandis que les bancs 1 à F sont les bancs esclaves (slave). Le banc MAÎTRE est l’unité assurant le raccordement aux moniteurs, souris et claviers de la console.

L’OmniView™MATRIX fixe automatiquement son numéro de banc lorsqu’il est mis en cascade avec l’unité MAITRE.

(suite)

VEUILLEZ SUIVRE SCRUPULEUSEMENT CES INSTRUCTIONS. TOUT MANQUEMENT PEUT ENTRAÎNER DES ERREURS CLAVIER ET / OU SOURIS OU UN DYSFONCTIONNEMENT.

AVERTISSEMENT: Avant de tenter de brancher quoi que ce soit à l’OmniView™MATRIX ou aux ordinateurs, vérifiez que rien n’est sous tension. En effet, si vous branchez ou débranchez des câbles alors que des appareils sont encore sous tension, vous pouvez endommager vos ordinateurs et l’OmniView

™

MATRIX de façon irrémédiable. Belkin Components ne sera pas tenu responsable des

dommages occasionnés.

1. Cherchez un endroit approprié pour poser votre OmniView

™

MATRIX. Du fait de sa taille, proche des 48 cm, il convient parfaitement aux racks de 19" (48 cm). Lorsque vous le montez en rack, fixez les supports de montage fournis avec l’appareil aux côtés de l’OmniView™MATRIX. Notez bien la longueur de vos câbles afin que vos ordinateurs, l’OmniView™MATRIX, les claviers, souris et moniteurs soient à la bonne distance les uns des autres.
