Step 3 Daisy-Chaining Multiple KVM Switches (Optional)
You can daisy-chain up to 15 KVM switches to your Console, allowing you to control
up to a maximum of 256 servers from the Console. The following section provides
instructions for setting up your daisy-chain configuration. If you do not wish to daisy-
chain any KVM switches at this time, please skip to the “Powering Up the Systems”
section on page 17.
Each daisy-chained KVM switch is referred to as a “BANK” and is assigned an
address. The Console’s built-in KVM switch is BANK 00 and is referred to as the
“primary” KVM switch. BANKs 01 through 15 are referred to as “secondary” KVM
switches.
Note: Your PRO2 Rack Console is compatible with Belkin OmniView PRO2 KVM
Switches. You can daisy-chain any combination of up to 15 additional PRO2
KVM Switches to your Console.
Note:
A Daisy-Chain Cable (F1D108-CBL) is
required
to daisy-chain each KVM
switch and is available through your Belkin reseller, or online at www.belkin.com
(U.S. only).
How to Assign a BANK Address
All OmniView PRO2 KVM Switches feature a “BANK DIP” switch. The “BANK DIP”
switch is used to assign the proper BANK address to each KVM Switch.
• For a single-unit configuration, set the “BANK DIP” switch on the KVM Switch
to the “primary” (BANK address 00) setting. This is the factory default setting.
• For a multi-unit configuration, the “BANK DIP” switch on the primary KVM switch
must be set to “BANK address 00”. Each secondary unit must be set to a unique
BANK address (from 01 through 15). Refer to the chart on page 14 or “BANK DIP”
switch settings.
