Key Features
CAT5 Technology
Integrated CAT5 technology enables you to connect your KVM Switch to your servers up to 100 feet (30m) away using standard
CAT5 cabling and Belkin’s compact Server Interface Modules (SIMs). CAT5 cabling reduces wiring clutter, simplifies cable
management, and allows for greater airflow in your racks, increasing the lifespan of your equipment. SIMs enable continuous server
uptime using keep-alive intelligence and keyboard and mouse signal emulation.
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 servers and setting network parameters.
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, you can select one server instantly.
Out of Band—BIOS-Level Access
The Switch allows you to locally access the basic input/output system (BIOS) of your servers to make changes and perform reboots,
regardless of network connectivity or server condition.

SECTIONSTable of Con tent s 2 3 4 51
User-Friendly Interface
The web-based interface allows you to set up and change the Switch’s functions quickly and easily through your web browser,
without having to install additional software onto your servers.
Video Resolution
The Switch supports video resolutions of up to 1600x1200@75Hz for both local and remote consoles.
Flash-Upgradeable
Flash upgrades allow you to obtain the latest firmware updates for your Switch. These firmware updates ensure that the Switch is
compatible with the latest devices.

Pre-Installation Guidelines
• Placecablesawayfrom fluorescentlights,airconditioners, and
machines that are likely to generate electrical noise.
• Place the Switch on a flat, clean, and dr y sur face.
• The Switch is not intended for connection to exposed outdoor lines.
• Ensure that the maximum distance between each computer and
the Switch does not exceed 100 ft. for SIMs.
Avoiding general rack-mounting problems
Elevated operating ambient temperature
The operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than the room ambient when installing into a closed or multiunit
rack assembly. Install the equipment in an environment compatible with
the maximum rated ambient temperature.
Reduced airflow
Install the equipment in a rack in such a way that the amount of airflow
required for safe operation is not compromised. Leave a gap of at least
5cm/2 inches on each side of the Switch.
Mechanical loading
Mount the equipment in the rack in such a way that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit overloading
When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the
effect that overloading of circuits might have on over-current protection
and supply wiring.
Reliable electrical grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Provide attention to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).

Rack-mounting the SMB CAT5 Switch
Rack-mount the Switch using the supplied rack-mount kit. The brackets
can be placed in two possible positions (see Figure 3).
Figure 3 Bracket positions
OmniView® SMB CAT5 216/2 32 Switch
Place the brackets toward the front of the unit so that the unit can be
mounted front facing; or place the brackets toward the rear of the unit
so that it can be mounted rear facing on the back of a rack. Figure 4
illustrates the bracket connected for rear facing. Screw the bracket to
the Switch using the screws provided

The Server Interface Modules (SIMs)
Each computer/server is directly connected to the Switch via the appropriate SIM using CAT5 cables in a star configuration. No external power is
needed at the remote SIMs. The SIMs draw their power from the computer’s keyboard port (PS/2 SIM) or from the USB port (USB SIM). The figures
below illustrate the SIM PS/2 and USB.

Connecting to the network
Connect the network cable to the LAN port of the Switch. This must be
done before powering on the Switch.
Connecting the CAT5 cables
1. Connect one connector to the SIM’s RJ45 port.
2. Connect the other connector to an available server port on
the Switch.
3. Follow the steps above for each computer.
Connecting the local console
To operate the system locally, connect a local console to the Switch:
1. Connect the monitor’s cable to the Switch’s console monitor port.
2. Connect the keyboard’s cable to the Switch‘s console
keyboard port.
3. Connect the mouse’s connector to the Switch’s console
mouse port.
OmniView® SMB CAT5 216/2 32 Switch
Connecting the power supply
1. Using the power cord provided, connect the Switch to a socket
outlet with a grounding connection. Only use the power cord
supplied with the unit.
2. Power on the Switch. Allow approximately 45 seconds for boot up.

INSTALLATION
SECTIONSTable of Con tent s 1 3 4 52
Setting the IP Address
By default, the Switch boots with an automatically assigned IP address
from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server on the
network. The DHCP server provides a valid IP address, gateway
address, and subnet mask.
You can identify the IP address from the OSD at the local position. You
can set the IP address locally via the OSD where there is no DHCP
server as follows:
1. From the local keyboard, press “Scroll Lock”. The OSD Main
window appears (see Figure 10).
Figure 10 OSD Main window
OmniView® SMB CAT5 216/2 32 Switch
2. Press “F2”. The Settings window appears (see Figure 11).
Figure 11 Settings window
In the Settings window, navigate downward using the Tab key. At the
bottom of the window, press “Tab” to go to the top of the window.
Change settings by t yping in the selected area or by pressing the space
bar—whichever is relevant.

Changing the network parameters
Enable DHCP – When a DHCP server is active on the same network to
which the Switch is connected, DHCP provides automatic IP assignment.
When DHCP is disabled (Recommended) – You can assign a fixed IP
address to the Switch.
Consult your network administrator regarding the use of the DHCP.
When DHCP is disabled, enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway as given by your network administrator.
Once the IP address is satisfactory, log in to the web interface to
complete the configuration, as explained in the next section.
(Network parameters can also be changed from the remote GUI as
explained on page 17).
