USING YOUR KVM SWITCH
18
INSTALLATION
Connecting the Computers
8. Power on the KVM Switches in whatever order is convenient. You
should see them light up and display the digits “XX”, where XX
denotes their respective BANK addresses.
Note: If the KVM Switches still do not enumerate correctly, check that all
Switches have the correct BANK address assigned to them and that all
daisy-chain cables are connected properly.
Enabling Daisy-Chain Mode on BANK 00
9. Primary BANK 00 must be configured to daisy-chain mode by the
administrator. This is only to be set on BANK 00.
a. Open IntelliView and enter “Setup”. Refer to the section
“IntelliView On-Screen Display Menu Control” in this manual for
instruction on operating IntelliView.
b. Navigate to the “Options” page, and check the “Daisy-chain this
KVM” box.
c. A dialog box will appear that says “You must power cycle the KVM
for this to take effect”. Click “OK” to clear the dialog box and
power cycle the KVM Switch.
When the KVM Switch reboots, it will interact with the remainder the
other daisy-chained KVM Switches as expected. You can verify this by
opening IntelliView and scrolling through the list of computers. If any of
the other daisy-chained computers appear in BANK 00’s list, then it is
working properly.
Note: If you don’t configure BANK 00 for use on the daisy-chain, then it
will not be able to interact with any of the other KVM Switches and they
will not be able to interact with it. In addition, the unit’s front panel will
not act the same as the other units’ front panels. Finally, there could be
some unpredictable interactions caused by connecting an improperly
configured BANK 00 to a daisy-chain.
POWERING UP THE SYSTEMS
Once all cables have been connected, power up the connected
computers. All computers can be powered on simultaneously. The KVM
Switch emulates both a mouse and keyboard on each port and allows
your computer to boot normally.
The computer connected to port “01” of the Primary Switch will be
displayed on the monitor. Check to see that the KVM Switch is working
normally by use of mouse, keyboard, hot keys, IntelliView, and/or
direct-access port selectors. Proceed to do this with all occupied ports
to verify that all computers are connected and responding correctly. If
you encounter an error, check your cable connections for that
computer and reboot, if necessary.
If the problem persists, call Belkin Tech Support at
1-800-223-5546 ext. 2263.
Now that you have connected your Console and computers to your
KVM Switch, it is ready for use.
You can select connected computers by the direct-access port
selectors, located on the front panel of the KVM Switch, hot key
commands, or IntelliView. It takes approximately 1–2 seconds for the
video signal to refresh (depending on monitor and graphics card used)
after switching computers.
Note: For hot keys (e.g. up and down arrows) and AutoScan, the order
of progression, when switching from one computer to the next, is
dictated by the order of the computers in the list box (on the main
page of IntelliView).
Selecting a Computer Using Direct-Access Port Selectors
Standalone Configuration
Note the following:
• The 7-segment LED display will indicate the number of the port
in focus
• One port-selection LED display will always be lit, corresponding to
the port in focus
