Each OmniViewTM PRO unit is defined as a BANK. See diagram above for more information. BANK numbers range from 0 to F (hexadecimal), for a total of 16 BANKs. BANK 0 is the MASTER bank, while banks 1 through F are slave banks. The MASTER bank is the unit that connects to the console keyboard, mouse, and monitor. The DIP switches must be set correctly for proper identification and usage. See the next section for the actual settings. If you are using the OmniViewTM PRO in a single-unit configuration, it must be set as the MASTER (BANK 0). If it is to be used as a slave unit, then it must be set to any unused unique bank number from 1 through F. 5 P73055/F1D108-OSD/EU/man.qxd 4/21/00 2:25 PM Page 6 Hardware Installation (continued) PLEASE FOLLOW THIS INSTALLATION PROCEDURE EXACTLY. NOT DOING SO MAY RESULT IN KEYBOARD AND/OR MOUSE ERRORS, OR FAULTY OPERATION. WARNING: Before attempting to connect anything to the OmniViewTM PRO or the computers, make sure everything is powered off. Plugging and unplugging cables may cause irreversible damage to your computers and the OmniViewTM PRO. Belkin Components will not be held responsible for damage caused. 1. Set the DIP switches. If you have only one OmniViewTM PRO, use the MASTER bank setting. If the OmniViewTM PRO you are using will be daisy-chained off another unit, use a unique slave setting.
