Note: An ENTERPRISE Series Daisy-Chain Cable (F1D9402-XX) is required
to daisy-chain each KVM Switch and is available through your Belkin
reseller or online at www.belkin.com.
All ENTERPRISE Series KVM Switches feature a “BANK DIP” Switch. The
BANK DIP Switch is used for proper identification of the KVM Switch,
either in a standalone or multiunit configuration.
• For a single-unit configuration, set the BANK DIP Switch on the KVM
Switch to the “Standalone” (BANK address 00) setting. This is the
factory default setting.
• For multiunit configuration, the BANK DIP Switch on the Primary
Switches must be set to BANK address 00 to 03. Secondary Switches
must be set to a unique BANK address (from 00 through 15). Refer to
the chart on the next page for DIP Switch settings.
MULTIPLE KVM SWITCHES—INSTALLATION
(DAISY-CHAINING)
You can daisy-chain up to 16 OmniView KVM Switches together, giving a
server administrator control over a maximum of 128 servers. In addition,
when multiple units are daisy-chained together, three additional Consoles
can be added, creating a maximum configuration of up to four consoles.
When daisy-chained together, each unit is referred to as a “BANK” and is
assigned an address. The KVM Switch that the Console (keyboard, mouse,
and monitor) is connected to is referred to as a “Primary” Switch. BANKs
00 through 03 can be configured as Primary Switches, allowing up to four
consoles. BANKs 04 through 15 can only be configured as Secondary
Switches (without Console support). If BANKs 00 through 03 do not have
a Console attached, they function as the Secondary. However, the
connections are hot swappable, so if a Console is added to one of the first
four BANKs, it will immediately become a Primary Switch.
Console connection
Connect the Console
1. Set BANK address to zero. (The BANK address is preset to zero
at the factory.)

to the HDDB15 female port on the back of the KVM Switch
labeled “Console”.
3. Connect the PS/2 or USB keyboard to the appropriate port on the
back of the KVM Switch in the “Console” section.
4. Connect the PS/2 or USB mouse to the appropriate port on the back
of the KVM Switch in the “Console” section.
5. Attach the IEC power cable to the power connector located on the
rear of the KVM Switch. Power on the KVM Switch.
