READ BEFORE INSTALLATION  
Tech Notes:  
1) Windows 98/98 SE systems  
o
o
HID (Human Interface Device) driver must be installed prior to using  
the USB KVM switch. To install the HID driver, first connect a USB  
keyboard and mice directly to computer (before installing KVM  
switch) then follow the Windows installation instructions, this will  
install the HID device driver and allow the use of the KVM switch.  
Failure to do so may result in Windows not being able to detect  
keyboard and mouse.  
If a mouse recognition error is displayed during system boot:  
“Windows did not detect a mouse attached to the computer.  
You can safely attach a serial mouse now.  
To attach a mouse to a PS/2 mouse port, you must first turn the  
computer off”  
Press the Tab key once to select the check box  
Press the Space bar once (which will place a check in the box “Do  
not show this message again”)  
Press the Enter key once and Windows will continue to boot and will  
then recognize the mouse.  
2) Windows 2000  
Switching channels while a USB storage device is connected to the  
o
OmniView will prompt the message:  
“the device was removed unsafely”  
Before switching channels, double click on the “Unplug or Eject  
Hardware“ icon, located in the taskbar. Highlight the storage  
device(s) and click on the Stop button. This will prevent the error  
message from appearing.  
3) Beep sound can be turned on or off by pressing the scroll lock key twice then  
press the “S” key.  
4) Autoscan, Hot Keys, & OSD will only work with a PS/2 Keyboard  
5) The computer will take 1~3 seconds to redetect the connected USB devices  
when the channel is switched.  
6) WARNING: Do not switch channels when a connected data storage or  
acquisition device is in operation. Failure to do so will result in system error  
and/or loss of data.

Installation Instructions  
Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper  
system functionality.  
Do not power down any of your computers, and do  
not unplug any PS/2 or USB keyboard or mouse device  
just yet. Doing so may cause you unnecessary reboots  
and other hassles.  
First, connect your monitor to the monitor port at the back of  
the USB KVM.  
Re a r Vie w US B KVM  
Then, plug in the power adapter to an AC outlet and plug the  
power jack into the USB KVM.  
Re a r Vie w US B KVM  
Connect your keyboard and mouse to the USB KVM. You can  
use either USB or PS/2 or both. However, we recommend  
using a PS/2 keyboard, and either type of mouse. Using a PS/2  
keyboard allows you to control the KVM switch through hot  
keys and On-Screen Display.

Installation Instructions (continued)  
Once you have plugged in the USB cable, Windows® will detect  
the built-in 4-port hub, PS/2 Keyboard, and Mouse I/F. Even if  
Windows® asks for drivers, the drivers are built in. The USB KVM  
uses standard HID-Class (Human Interface Device) drivers. So all  
you need to do is keep hitting "NEXT" until Windows® loads the  
drivers. Only when the drivers are loaded can you start using the  
devices connected to the USB KVM Switch.

Usage  
Connecting USB Devices to the built-in 4-Port hub  
When you connect any USB device to the 4-port hub, that  
device will be switched when you switch computers. For  
instance, a USB Camera will be connected to computer 2 when  
you switch from computer 1 to computer 2. This is fine for  
many devices, but not suitable for storage devices such as LS-  
120 drives and Zip® drives because you cannot dynamically  
switch ports and disconnect a mounted storage device when it  
is in use by the operating system.  
For instance, if you are on computer 1 and have a file open that  
is stored on a Zip drive connected to the USB KVM, and then  
switch to computer 2, you will get an error message on  
computer 1 saying that the file may be lost or corrupted.  
The same is true when you are using a streaming device such as  
the Belkin VideoBus USB Video Capture device. You can switch  
from one computer to the next only if the VideoBus is no  
longer in use by the first computer.  
Selecting which computer to operate can be done by either  
On-Screen Display, the SELECT button, or through keyboard  
hot key commands. You will notice that after the USB KVM  
switches to another computer, the mouse will be inoperative for  
about 1-2 seconds. This is a normal operation ensuring that  
proper USB synchronization is established.  
NOTE: You must have a PS/2 keyboard in order to use  
the On-Screen Display and/or keyboard hot keys.

Usage (continued)  
The SELECT Button:  
Om niView  
US BKVM SWITCH  
Pressing the SELECT button cycles you through  
all the ports, including inactive ports.  
Keyboard hot key commands (REQUIRES PS/2 KEYBOARD):  
You can also conveniently command the USB KVM to switch  
ports through simple keyboard key sequences. To send  
commands to the USB KVM, the SCROLL LOCK key must be  
pressed twice within 2 seconds. You will hear a beep for  
confirmation. Below are the different commands:  
Switch to PREVIOUS ACTIVE port  
Switch to NEXT ACTIVE port  
Directly switches to port Y  
You can switch directly to any port by giving the USB KVM the  
PORT number. For instance, if you press [SCROLL LOCK]  
[SCROLL LOCK] [2], the computer on PORT 2 will be selected.  
10  
 
Usage (continued)  
AutoScan Mode:  
Enable AutoScan mode  
To enable AutoScan mode, press [SCROLL LOCK]  
[SCROLL LOCK] [0]. In AutoScan mode, the USB KVM remains  
on one port for a number of seconds, before switching to the  
next. This time interval is set in the On-Screen Display menu.  
NOTE: There is no mouse or keyboard control in this  
mode. This is necessary to prevent errors. Otherwise, if  
the user is moving the mouse or using the keyboard  
when the USB KVM switches to the next port, data flow is  
interrupted and will cause erratic mouse movement  
and/or the wrong characters to show up when using the  
keyboard.  
To exit AutoScan mode, press the SPACEBAR.  
On-Screen Display Menu Control:  
Enable the On-Screen Display menu  
To enable the On-Screen Display, press [SCROLL LOCK]  
[SCROLL LOCK] [SPACEBAR]. Immediately, the On-Screen  
Display overlay screen appears. This screen is generated by the  
USB KVM and does not affect your computers or running  
software in any way.

keys. The On-Screen Display menu will only allow you to move  
to active ports.  
NOTE: If a computer is connected and is powered up,  
but the On-Screen Display menu does not display a “”,  
you will have to RESET the USB KVM to re-detect the  
powered computers. Simply press the reset button at the  
back of the USB KVM.

Troubleshooting  
Monitor/Video Problems:  
Q: I am getting ghosting, shadowing, or fuzzy images  
on my monitor.  
A: Check the cables and make sure they are inserted properly.  
Your resolution and/or refresh rate is extremely high, or  
your cable is too long. Replace your VGA cables with  
coaxial double-shielded cables such as Belkin A3H981-XX.  
Check to make sure that the power adapter is plugged in and  
is working properly. It must be 12VDC, 1600mA minimum.  
Make sure the power switch is on.  
Lower you refresh rate and/or screen resolution settings.
