Hardware Installation (continued)
11. You can now power up all of your computers simultaneously. The first computer
will show up on the monitor. Check to see if the keyboard and mouse work, as
well as the image displayed on the screen. If this is okay, press the SELECT
button and check the functionality of the other computers. If you find any errors,
double-check all of the cable connections.
NOTE: Avoid pressing any keys on the keyboard or moving the mouse if the currently
selected port has a computer that is in the process of booting up. This may cause the
computer to not detect, or initialize the keyboard or mouse drivers properly.
The OmniView
™
SE has the capability to be daisy-chained to additional units for
control over more computers. Up to four OmniView
™
SE units can be daisy chained
together, whether 2-Port, 4-Port, or a mixture of both. The example above shows two
OmniView
™
SE 2-Port units and two OmniView
™
SE 4-Port units daisy chained
together.
Each OmniView
™
SE unit is defined as a "BANK." See diagram above for more
information. BANK numbers range from 0 to 3 for a total of 4 BANKs. BANK 0 is the
MASTER bank, while banks 1 through 3 are slave banks. The MASTER bank is the unit
that connects to the console keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
The DIP switches must be set correctly for proper identification and usage. See
page 6 for the actual settings. If you are using the OmniView
™
SE in a single-unit
configuration, it must be set as the MASTER (BANK 0). If it is to be used as a slave
unit, then it must be set to any unused unique bank number from 1 through 3.
