Introduction:
Thank you for purchasing Belkin Components' OmniView AT 6-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 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 216 computers!
Control, convenience, efficiency. All of which, come standard with the Belkin OmniView.

Hardware Installation: 1. Make sure you have the right cables!

It includes one keyboard, one mouse and the VGA cable for convenience. Select the appropriate one based on the type of mouse your computer uses. If the keyboard cable does not match with the port, simply attach one of the keyboard adapters mentioned above.
- Page 5 Connect a computer to the OmniView. Attach the female end of the VGA cable into the computer’s HD-DB-15 port, and the female end into a HD-DB-15 port on the OmniView. Attach the keyboard cable into the keyboard port of the computer. Plug in the opposite end into the appropriate port on the OmniView.
- Page 6 Connecting one OmniView into another is just like connecting a computer into an OmniView. The A3X932 cable kit is also used in that sense. Simply connect the cascaded OmniView’s console port to one of its “parent” OmniView’s free ports, as below: Usage: Selecting which computer to operate can be done in two different ways - either by pressing the front-panel pushbutton, or by entering the hot-key sequence.
- Page 7 Quick Last/Next switching mode is similar to scan mode, except the operator has control over the switching. In this mode, the operator can press either one of the shift keys to switch to the adjacent computer previous or after the currently selected port. There is also no keyboard control during this mode, but the mouse is still completely operable.

On all of the OmniViews below the top level, all DIP switches need to be OFF (or up). - Page 9 OmniView from one computer to another. The solution for this is to not move the mouse when switching and also give it a second or two after the switch is made. Reasons for this reaction is still not known.
