Designed to give you control over multiple computers and servers from one console, Belkin PRO2 PS/2s come in a variety of capacities suitable for all configurations, large or small. Offering intuitive port indicators, direct-access port selectors, high video resolution support, and flash upgradeable firmware. The PRO2 PS/2 also comes with an unparalleled Belkin Three-Year Warranty. This manual will provide details about your new PRO2 PS/2, from installation and operation to troubleshooting--in the unlikely event of a problem. For quick and easy installation, please refer to the Quick Installation Guide included in your PRO2 PS/2 packaging. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Package Contents · OmniView PRO2 PS/2 Series KVM Switch · Adjustable Rack-mount Brackets with Screws · USB Flash Cable · User Manual · Quick Installation Guide · 12-Volt DC, 1-Amp Power Supply · Registration Card 1 Overview section 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 The PRO2 PS/2s allow you to control up to a maximum of 256 PS/2 computers with one keyboard, monitor, and mouse. They support PS/2 input devices (keyboard and mouse) as well as VGA, SVGA, XGA, and XGA-2 video. Feature Overview Hot Keys: Hot key functionality allows you to select a desired port using designated key commands. By using a simple hot key sequence on your keyboard, selecting one computer from as many as 256 computers is instantaneous. For a listing of complete hot key instructions and commands, see pages 17-19 AutoScan: The AutoScan feature allows you to set your PRO2 PS/2 to scan and monitor the activities of all operating computers connected to the switch--one by one. The time interval allotted for each computer can be defined or adjusted through the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu. For complete instructions on AutoScan usage, please refer to page 18. Video Resolution: Through a 400MHz bandwidth, the PRO2 PS/2s support video resolutions of up to 2048x1536@85Hz. To preserve signal integrity at these higher resolutions, your PRO2 PS/2 requires 75-Ohm coaxial VGA cabling Flash Upgrade: Flash upgradeable firmware allows you to install the latest firmware for your PRO2 PS/2. This enables your PRO2 PS/2 to maintain consistent compatibility with the latest devices and computers. Firmware upgrades are free for the life of your PRO2 PS/2. Refer to the enclosed flash upgrade instruction document or visit us at belkin. com for complete upgrade information and support. On-Screen Display (OSD): The OSD feature simplifies server management by allowing you to assign individual names to each connected server throughout the system. It provides a visual means of switching between computers and setting the time interval for the AutoScan function. 2 Overview section Front-Panel Push Button: Direct-access port selectors, located conveniently on the front panel of the PRO2 PS/2, allow for simple, manual port-selection. Each button controls a port. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 LED Display: An LED display on the face of the PRO2 PS/2 serves as a status monitor. An LED next to each direct-access port selector illuminates to indicate that the console currently controls the corresponding computer. As a port selector is pushed, the LED next to it will light up. A flashing port LED indicates that there is no computer connected to that port. Seven-Segment LED Display: When daisy-chaining multiple PRO2 PS/2s together, the seven-segment LED display serves as a quick indicator of the selected BANK. Equipment Requirements Cables: To connect to the PRO2 PS/2, each PS/2 computer requires one VGA cable, one PS/2 keyboard cable, and one PS/2 mouse cable. Keyboard and mouse cables must have PS/2 male-to-PS/2 male connectors. Video resolution support of up to 2048x1536@85Hz requires use of a 75-Ohm coaxial VGA cable to preserve signal integrity. VGA cables must have HDDB15 female-to-HDDB15 male connectors. Belkin highly recommends that you use OmniView All-In-One PRO Series Plus Cables. These cables offer the highest quality possible to ensure optimal data transmission. All-In-One Cables are molded together for a clean and organized setup; are double-shielded to reduce EMI/RFI interference; have strain-relief construction for added durability; come with a ferrite bead for noise immunity; and include PC99 color-coded connectors for easy identification and connection. The PRO Series Plus Cables include an industry-standard, 14-pin, coaxial VGA cable and nickel-plated connectors for high-resolution applications. 3 Overview section 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 The following cables are recommended for your PRO2 PS/2: OmniView All-In-One PRO Series Plus F3X1105b-XX (PS/2 Style) (-XX denotes length in feet) Operating Systems OmniView PRO2 PS/2 Series KVM Switches are for use on CPUs using: Platforms: · · · · Windows ® 95/98/2000/Me/NT ® /XP DOS Turbolinux ® and all Linux ® distributions Novell ® NetWare ® 4.x/5.x Keyboards: · Supports 101-/102-/104-key keyboards Mice: · Microsoft ® system-compatible PS/2 mice having 2, 3, 4, or 5 buttons · Microsoft system-compatible PS/2 wireless or optical mice Monitor: · VGA · SVGA · MultiSync ® 4 Overview section Side View of the PRO2 PS/2: BANK DIP switch (may be located on the back in some models) FLASH DIP switch (may be located on the back in some models) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 5 Overview section 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Front View of the PRO2 PS/2: F1DA108Pea Autoscan button LED for selected port identification 7-segment LED for selected BANK identification Direct-access port selectors Manual BANK scroll buttons Back View of the PRO2 PS/2: F1DA108Pea Console VGA Computer VGA port Console PS/2 mouse/keyboard ports Master Input/Slave Output Slave Input Flash Upgrade port DC power jack Computer PS/2 mouse/keyboard ports 6 Overview section Specifications 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Part No.: F1DA104Pea, F1DA108Pea & F1DA116Pea Power: 12-Volt DC, 1-Amp power adapter with center-pin positive polarity Daisy-Chain: Maximum of 16 KVM Switches Computer Connections Supported: 4 (F1DA104Pea) 8 (F1DA108Pea) 16 (F1DA116Pea) Keyboard Emulation: PS/2 Mouse Emulation: PS/2 Monitors Supported: VGA, SVGA, MultiSync, and LCD (optional adapter may be required) Max.

The 8- and 16-port PRO2 PS/2s 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 4Port PRO2 PS/2. Consider the following when deciding where to place the PRO2 PS/2: · 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 PS/2. Cable Distance Requirements: 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 PS/2 and the connected computers does not exceed 25 feet. Note: If you need your console to reside further than 25 feet from the PRO2 PS/2, we recommend using the Belkin CAT5 Extender (F1D084vea2) with a standard CAT5 UPT cable. By using this device, you may increase the distance between your PRO2 PS/2 and your keyboard, mouse, and monitor by as much as 300 feet without risking signal degradation. Cautions and Warnings: Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air conditioning equipment, or machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners). 8 Installation section Step-by-Step Installation Guide Cautions and Warnings: Before attempting to connect anything to the PRO2 PS/2 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 PS/2(s). Belkin Components is not responsible for damage caused in this way. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Installing the PRO2 PS/2 into a Server Rack: Bracket Installation (F1DA108Pea and F1DA116Pea only) Eight- or 16-Port PRO2 PS/2s include adjustable mounting brackets ideal for installation in 1 ...
