USING YOUR KVM SWITCH

22

BELKIN KVM SWITCHES AND ACCESSORIES

You can switch directly to any port by entering the port number of the
port you wish to use. For example, if you press “SCROLL LOCK”, “SCROLL
LOCK”, “2”, the computer on port 2 will be selected.

AutoScan Mode

In AutoScan mode the KVM Switch remains on one port for 10 seconds
before switching to the next. This time interval cannot be changed.

To enable AutoScan mode press “SCROLL LOCK”, “SCROLL LOCK”, “0”.

Note: There is no mouse or keyboard control in this mode. This is necessary
to prevent errors. Otherwise, if the user is moving the mouse or using the
keyboard when the unit switches to the next port, communication between
the computer and KVM Switch could be interrupted and cause erratic mouse
movement, or wrong characters to display when using the keyboard.

To disable AutoScan mode, press the space bar.

OmniView KVM Switches
OmniView E Series

These KVM devices allow you to control two or four computers from one
console and make switching between computers more convenient.
Designed for compatibility with your PS/2 platform, they reduce desktop
clutter and provide a simple, reliable solution at a lower price point.
High-quality resolution of up to 2048x1536@85Hz is supported through
the E Series KVM Switch when used with coaxial VGA cabling, offering the
highest resolution without compromising the quality of the display. Power
for the KVM Switch draws off of the keyboard, meaning no power supply
is necessary and less cables to hassle with. Other standard features found
on this unit include: hot key functionality; PS/2 keyboard and mouse
emulations for error-free boot up; and a Belkin Two-Year Warranty.
