Introduction:

Thank you for purchasing Belkin Components’ OmniView PS/2 4-Port keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) switch!

Now, you can control multiple computers from just one keyboard, mouse and monitor.  No more messy

server rooms, cluttered cables, or cramped cubicles.  With the OmniView, you are in complete control!

Compatible with both PS/2 and serial mice, and DIN5 or MiniDIN6 keyboard connectors, the OmniView is

the ultimate in flexibility.  Simply use standard keyboard, mouse, and VGA cables to interface to the

computers.  Belkin offers these cables in complete kits for even more convenience.

With the OmniView, you can boot up each computer without encountering any keyboard or mouse errors.

The intelligent circuitry emulates keyboard signals to prevent aborted boot sequences or lost mouse control,

often found when using manual KVM switchboxes.  Furthermore, the OmniView can be 

cascaded 

for even

more control, up to 64 computers!

Control, convenience, efficiency.  All of which, come standard with the Belkin OmniView.

Check the end of this booklet for more information on OmniView accessories!
