INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION
Connecting Computers to the KVM Switch (USB Connection)
Note: Early versions of Windows operating system do not
automatically install HID devices. Manual installation of the
HID driver may be required.
1. Using the OmniView ENTERPRISE Series Dual-Port USB Style KVM
cable (F1D9401-XX), connect the high-density, 50-pin, SCSI 2-style
connector to the next free KVM port, starting with the port for the first
two computers (for best results screw the connectors into the KVM
Switch and the computer, when possible).
2. Connect the USB connector of your KVM cable to the computer. If
your computer is running Windows Me or later, skip to step 6.
Otherwise, continue with step 3.
3. Boot up the computer you wish to connect via USB, as you would
normally, with the keyboard, mouse, and monitor connected directly
to the computer.
4. Take the USB cable attached to the KVM Switch and connect it to an
available USB port on your computer.
5. Your computer should detect and identify the KVM Switch as a
generic mouse and keyboard. Manually install the HID device driver
by selecting “Next” through the Windows Hardware Wizard until the
HID devices are completely installed (the KVM Switch will install
four devices if not previously installed on your system: a HID
keyboard, a HID mouse, a generic keyboard, and a generic mouse).
The driver installation only needs to be done once for each computer;
the KVM Switch will be enumerated automatically in the future.
When driver installation is complete, power down the computer and
disconnect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
6. Connect the male VGA HDDB15 connector located on one end of
the KVM cable to the VGA port on the computer.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each additional computer you wish to
connect to the KVM Switch via USB.
Note: For USB Installation
We recommend you attach the KVM cable directly to a free USB port on
your computer, not through a USB hub.
