The 8- and 16-port PRO2s are natively rack-mountable in standard 19-inch server racks. Rack-mount hardware is included with these switches for a study rack installation. An optional rack-mount kit (F1D005) is available for use with the 4-Port PRO2. Consider the following when deciding where to place the PRO2: · whether or not you intend to use the direct-access port selectors; · the lengths of the cables attached to your keyboard, monitor, and mouse; · the location of your CPUs in relation to your console; · and the lengths of the cables you use to connect your computers to the PRO2. Cable Distance Requirements: For PS/2 computers: VGA signals transmit best up to 25 feet. Beyond that length, the probability of video degradation increases. For this reason, we recommend that the length of the cables between the PRO2 and the connected computers does not exceed 25 feet. Note: If you need your console to reside further than 25 feet from the PRO2, we recommend using the Belkin CAT5 Extender (F1D084) with a standard CAT5 UPT cable. By using this device, you may increase the distance between your PRO2 and your keyboard, mouse, and monitor by as much as 500 feet without risking signal degradation. For USB computers: USB signals can be transmitted up to 15 feet between the PRO2 and the CPU. Beyond 15 feet, the probability of signal failure is likely, and this may cause the device to fail. Cautions and Warnings: Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air conditioning equipment, or machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners). 8 INSTALLATION Step-by-Step Installation Guide Cautions and Warnings: Before attempting to connect anything to the PRO2 or your computer(s), please ensure that everything is powered off. Plugging and unplugging cables while computer(s) are powered on may cause irreversible damage to the computer(s) and/or the PRO2(s). Belkin Components is not responsible for damage caused in this way. Installing the PRO2 into a Server Rack: Bracket Installation (F1DA108T and F1DA116T only) Eight- or 16-Port PRO2s include adjustable mounting brackets ideal for installation in 19-inch racks. The mounting brackets feature three adjustment positions to allow the faceplate of the PRO2 to mount flush to your rack-mounted servers, or to the rack. Please follow these simple steps to achieve the desired adjustment. The 4-Port PRO2 requires an optional mounting kit (F1D005). 1. Remove the adjustable brackets from the box. (The adjustable brackets allow you to set the PRO2's face flush with the ends of the rails or to extend the PRO2 past the front of the rails). 2. Determine how far you would like the PRO2 to protrude from the rack. Select a bracket-hole scheme. 3. Attach the bracket to the side of your PRO2 using the Phillips screws provided. (Refer to diagram above). 4. Mount the PRO2 to the rack rail assembly. Note: If this PRO2 will be daisy-chained to another PRO2, set the BANK address prior to installing on a rack. Refer to the section in this user manual labeled "Connecting Multiple PRO2s (Daisy-Chaining)". 9 INSTALLATION Your PRO2 is now mounted securely into the bracket and you are ready to connect cables to the back of the unit.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 above for each additional USB computer you wish to connect. Connecting Multiple PRO2s (Daisy-Chaining) You can daisy-chain up to 16 PRO2s together, giving a server administrator control over a maximum of 256 computers. When daisy-chained together, each unit is referred to as a "BANK" and assigned an address. The Console keyboard, mouse, and monitor connects to BANK 00 and is referred to as the "Master" switch. BANKs 01 through 15 are referred to as "Slave" switches. Note: A daisy-chain cable (F1D108-CBL) is required to daisy-chain each PRO2 and is available through your Belkin reseller or online at belkin.com. All PRO2s feature a "BANK DIP" switch. The BANK DIP switch is used for proper identification and use of PRO2s in a single-unit or daisy-chain configuration. · For a single-unit configuration, set the BANK DIP switch on the PRO2 to the "Master" (BANK address 00) setting. This is the factory default setting. · For multi-unit configuration, the BANK DIP switch on the Master unit must be set to "BANK address 00". Slave units must be set to a unique BANK address (from 01 through 15). Refer to the chart below for BANK DIP switch settings. 12 INSTALLATION BANK DIP Switch Configuration Chart DIP SWITCH# 1 ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON 2 ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON 3 ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF 4 ON ON OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF 5 ON ON ON ON OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON ON OFF OFF OFF OFF 6 ON BANK 00 MASTER (default) ON BANK 01 SLAVE ON BANK 02 SLAVE ON BANK 03 SLAVE ON BANK 04 SLAVE ON BANK 05 SLAVE ON BANK 06 SLAVE ON BANK 07 SLAVE OFF BANK 08 SLAVE OFF BANK 09 SLAVE OFF BANK 10 SLAVE OFF BANK 11 SLAVE OFF BANK 12 SLAVE OFF BANK 13 SLAVE OFF BANK 14 SLAVE OFF BANK 15 SLAVE BANK ADDRESS Note: "On" is the down position.

Connect the power supply to the Master switch. Power up the Master switch. You should see the Master switch light up and display the digits "00", indicating its BANK address. 11. Power up the Slave switches sequentially, beginning with Bank 01, by connecting each unit's power supply. Each switch should display its corresponding BANK address number as it is powered up. Note: If the PRO2s do not enumerate correctly, reset the Master switch (BANK 00) by simultaneously pressing the "BANK +" and "BANK ­" buttons. You can also reset the Master switch to detect newly added Slave switches. If the switches still do not enumerate correctly, check that all switches have the correct BANK address assigned to them and that all daisy-chain cables are connected properly. 12. Verify that the Master unit has detected all Slave switches by scrolling through the BANKS using the BANK up and BANK down buttons. If all Slave switches are detected properly, the LED display on the Master switch will register and display the attached Slave switch's BANK address. 15 USING YOUR PRO2 Powering up the Systems Once all cables have been connected, power up the computers that are attached to the PRO2. All computers can be powered on simultaneously. The PRO2 emulates both a mouse and keyboard on each port and allows your computer to boot normally. The computer connected to port "1" will be displayed on the monitor. Check to see that the keyboard, monitor, and mouse are working normally. Proceed to do this with all occupied ports to verify that all computers are connected and responding correctly. If you encounter an error, check your cable connections for that computer and reboot. If the problem persists, please refer to the Troubleshooting section in this manual. Using Your PRO2: Now that you have connected your Console and computers to your PRO2, it is ready for use. Select connected computers by either the direct-access port selectors, located on the front panel of the PRO2, using the On-Screen Display, or by using hot key commands through the Console keyboard. It takes approximately 1-2 seconds for the video signal to refresh after switching computers. Re-synchronization of the mouse and keyboard signals also occurs. This is normal operation and ensures that proper synchronization is established between the Console and the connected computers. 16 USING YOUR PRO2 Selecting a Computer Using Keyboard Hot Key Commands: Switch to the next or previous port with simple keyboard key sequences using the "Scroll Lock" key and either the up or down arrow keys. To send commands to the PRO2, the "Scroll Lock" key must be pressed twice within two seconds. The PRO2 will beep, confirming that it is in hot key mode. Next, press the up or down arrow keys, and the PRO2 will switch to either the prior port or the next port. + + + + Switch to next active port--Down arrow Switch to previous active port--Up arrow With a single-switch configuration (no daisy-chained switches), you can switch directly to any port by entering the two-digit number of the port you wish to access. For example, if you press "Scroll Lock", "Scroll Lock", "02", the PRO2 will switch to the computer on port 2 located on BANK 00. + + Switch to BANK 00, Port 2--(02) Note: You will have approximately five seconds to complete each hot key sequence. With daisy-chain switch configuration, you can switch between BANKs by pressing "Scroll Lock", "Scroll Lock", "Page Up", to switch to the previous BANK. Press "Scroll Lock", "Scroll Lock", "Page Down", to switch to the next BANK. + + Page Up + + Page Down Switch to previous BANK--Page Up Switch to next BANK-- Page Down 17 USING YOUR KVM SWITCH With a daisy-chain switch configuration, you can switch directly to any port on any BANK by pressing "Scroll Lock", "Scroll Lock", BANK address, and port number. For example, if you press "Scroll Lock", "Scroll Lock", "03", "05", the computer on BANK 03, Port 5 will become active. + AutoScan Mode: + 3+ 5 Pressing the AutoScan button on the PRO2 will activate the AutoScan function. In AutoScan mode, the PRO2 remains on one port for a pre-set number of seconds, before switching to the next computer. This time interval can be adjusted via the On-Screen Display menu. Note: There is no mouse or keyboard control in AutoScan mode. This is necessary to prevent data and synchronization errors. If the user is using the mouse or keyboard when the PRO2 is switching between ports, data flow may become interrupted and could result in erratic mouse movement and/or wrong-character input when using the keyboard. Press any button on the front panel or any key on the keyboard to disable AutoScan. Selecting a Computer Using Direct-Access Port Selectors: You can directly select which computer you wish to control by pressing the direct-access port selector next to the corresponding port. The LED will illuminate to indicate the port is currently selected. If you are installing multiple PRO2s that are daisy-chained, use the BANK scroll keys located on the front panel of the Master switch to access other computers that are connected to the Slave switches. BANK Up and BANK Down Scroll Buttons: Pressing the BANK + and BANK ­ scroll buttons on the Master switch will allow you to switch between the daisy-chained PRO2s. Pressing both buttons simultaneously will reset the PRO2. The BANK + button will take you to the next BANK. For example, when you are at the Master switch (BANK 00) and want to check computers on BANK 02, pressing the BANK + button will take you to BANK 02. As a default, the 18
