INSTALLATION

Pre-Configuration
Where to Place the KVM Switch: The compact size of the OmniView SOHO Series KVM Switch makes it perfect for desktop placement. Consider the following when deciding where to place the KVM Switch: whether or not you intend to use the manual push buttons for selecting ports; the length of the cables attached to your keyboard, mouse, and monitor; the location of your CPUs from your console; and the length of the cables you use to connect your computers to the KVM. Cable Distance Requirements:For PS/2 computers: VGA signals are best retained when transmitted up to 25 feet (7.5m). Beyond 25 feet (7.5m), probability of video degradation increases with an increase in distance. For this reason, your PS/2 computer should be placed within 25 feet (7.5m) of the KVM Switch. Note: If your computer needs to be more than 25 feet (7.5m) from the KVM Switch, you can use the Belkin CAT5 Extender to extend your PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and monitor up to 500 feet (152.4m) away using standard CAT5 UTP cable. For USB computers: USB signals are the strongest when transmitted up to 15 feet (4.5m) between the KVM and the CPU. Beyond 15 feet (4.5m), probability of signal degradation, which can cause the device to fail, is likely. Cautions and Warnings: Avoid having cables near fluorescent lights, air conditioning equipment, or machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).

Step-by-Step Installation Guide
This section provides complete instructions for the hardware setup of a single SOHO Series KVM Switch. (F1DS102P, F1DS104P, F1DS102T, or F1DS104T)

PS/2 INSTALLATION

PS/2 Installation: Keyboard, Video, and Mouse Connections
CONNECT THE CONSOLE: 1. Connect the monitor to the SOHO Series KVM Switch. Using the cable that is included with your monitor, connect it to the HDDB15 female port on the top of the SOHO Series KVM Switch with the monitor symbol on the console. See fig. 4. Connect a PS/2 keyboard to the PURPLE port on the console. See fig. 5. Connect a PS/2 mouse to the GREEN port on the console. See fig. 5

Important Note:

Before attempting to connect anything to the SOHO Series KVM Switch or into your computer(s), make sure that everything is powered off. Plugging and unplugging cables while computers are powered on may cause irreversible damage to the computers and KVM Switch. Belkin Components will not be responsible for damage caused by these actions. Installing the SOHO Series KVM Base: Hold the main housing with one hand and the base with the other. With the narrow part of the base facing towards the rear of the housing, align the hooks of the base to the base holes located underneath the housing. Put the hooks through the holes and push the base toward the front of the housing to lock the base into place. See fig. 3.

USING YOUR SOHO SERIES KVM SWITCH

Powering up the Systems

Once all cables have been connected, power up the CPUs that are attached to the SOHO Series KVM Switch. All computers can be powered on simultaneously. The SOHO Series KVM Switch emulates a mouse and keyboard on each port and allows your computer to boot normally. Your Belkin SOHO Series KVM Switch should now be ready for use. You can select which computer to operate by either the push-button Selector Button located on the front panel of the SOHO Series KVM Switch or through keyboard hot key commands. Note that it will take 12 seconds for the video to display after switching. This is due to the refresh of the video signal. There is also re-synchronization of the mouse and keyboard signal that takes place. This is normal operation and ensures that proper synchronization is established.
Selecting a Computer Using Front-Panel Selector Buttons
You can directly select which computer you wish to control by pressing the corresponding push button next to the appropriate port. The LED will be lit to indicate that the port is currently selected.

fig. 14

Selecting a Computer Using Keyboard Hot Key Commands
You can command the SOHO Series KVM Switch to switch ports with a simple keyboard command sequence by using the [SCROLL LOCK] key and [UP], [DOWN] arrow keys. To send commands to the SOHO Series KVM Switch, the [SCROLL LOCK] key must be pressed twice within two seconds. You will hear a beep for confirmation. Then you can press the [UP], [DOWN] arrow keys to switch between ports.
10. Using a second audio cable, connect one end of the male 3.5mm plug to the MIC OUT jack of your sound card or computer and connect the other end to the MIC IN jack of your OmniView SOHO Series KVM Switch. See fig. 14.

TROUBLESHOOTING

A: The SOHO Series KVM Switch comes with a five-year limited warranty. TROUBLESHOOTING VIDEO I am getting ghosting, shadowing, or fuzzy images on my monitor. Check that all video cables are inserted properly. Check that the monitor you are using supports the resolution and refresh-rate setting on your computer. Check that the graphics card you are using supports the resolution and refresh-rate setting on your computer. Connect the monitor directly into the computer you are having trouble with to see if the problem still appears. I am getting a black screen on my monitor. Check that all video cables are inserted properly. If you are not using a power adapter check that the keyboard cable is connected and inserted properly between the computer and KVM for the appropriate port. If you are using the KVM for video switching only and have no keyboard and mouse connection between the KVM and PC, you will need to purchase the optional 9V DC, 600mA power adapter
(F1D065-PWR for your appropriate country). Connect your monitor directly to the computer to verify that your monitor is functioning properly. KEYBOARD Computer does not detect keyboard and I get a keyboard error reported at boot up. Check that the keyboard cable between the KVM switch and the computer is connected properly. Tighten any loose connections. Try swapping your keyboard with a different one. Try connecting the computer to a different port. If you are using the keyboard software that was included with your keyboard, uninstall it and install the standard Microsoft keyboard driver.
MOUSE Mouse is lost when I switch to a different channel. Check that the mouse you are using is connected properly to the console of the KVM switch. If you are using a mouse driver that was included with your mouse, uninstall it and install the standard Microsoft mouse driver. Disconnect and reconnect the mouse cable attached to the channel with which you are experiencing problems to resynchronize the mouse connection. Attach the mouse directly to the computer you are experiencing mouse problems with. If the computer just awoke from standby mode, allow up to one minute to regain mouse function.

Page 34

Deactivate power-management schemes on the PC that you are experiencing problems with. Try swapping the mouse with a different one. The mouse is not detected at boot up. Check the cables and make sure that they are inserted properly. The computer boots up fine, but the mouse does not work. Make sure it is plugged in properly. Make sure the mouse works when directly plugged into the computer. Rebooting may be necessary when trying this. Try a different mouse. When I switch from one port to another, mouse movement is completely erratic. Make sure you do not have more than one mouse driver installed. Make sure that the driver is either for a standard PS/2 mouse or a Microsoft-compatible PS/2 mouse. Make sure you do not have any mouse drivers loaded in your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files. Avoid moving the mouse or pressing the mouse button when switching ports on the SOHO Series KVM Switch.

You can reset the mouse and resume proper mouse movement simply by unplugging the mouse from the front of the SOHO Series KVM Switch for about 23 seconds, and then plugging it in again. GENERAL My computer does not boot when connected to the SOHO Series KVM Switch and works fine when I connect the keyboard, video, and mouse directly to it. Make sure that the keyboard and mouse cables are connected tightly between the KVM switch and the computer. Check that the keyboard and mouse cables are not crossed.
