OVERVIEW
Feature Overview
The OmniView SOHO Series dual-head VGA/USB KVM Switch with Audio
allows you to control up to four computers, with one USB keyboard and
USB mouse and two VGA, SVGA, XGA, or XGA-2 video monitors.
USB Hot Keys
Hot keys allow you to select ports using designated key commands from
your USB keyboard. Control up to two (for the 2-port unit) or four
(for the 4-port unit) computers, using a simple hot key sequence on
your keyboard.
AutoScan
The AutoScan feature allows you to automatically scan and monitor
the activities of all operating computers connected to your Switch, one
by one.
Video Resolution
With a 400MHz bandwidth, the Switch supports video resolutions of up to
2048x1536@85Hz. To preserve signal integrity at high resolutions,
75-Ohm coaxial VGA cabling is required.
Flash Upgrade
Flash upgradeability allows you to obtain the latest firmware upgrades for
your Switch. These upgrades will let your Switch continue to be
compatible with the latest devices and computers. Firmware upgrades are
free for the lifetime of the product. Visit belkin.com for upgrade
information and support, or see the enclosed instruction document.
Microphone/Audio Support
The Switch supports USB-type speakers and microphones and has built-in
microphone and speaker jacks to support the growth of multimedia use in
small-office and home-office environments. This feature eliminates the
need to disconnect and reconnect these devices when switching between
computers, and reduces the clutter on your desktop with fewer speakers.

OVERVIEW
Direct-Access Port Selectors
Direct-access port selectors, conveniently located on the front face of the
Switch, allow for simple, manual port selection.
Cable Management
The designed enclosure offers built-in cable management to contain
connected cables. Once the cables have been connected and the shroud
slid into place, the cables are conveniently maintained through the
back opening.
LED Display
An LED display is added to the face of the Switch for easy status
monitoring. A lit LED indicates which computer the console has control
of. The corresponding direct-access port selector is located next to the
LED. When pushed, the LED should light next to the port selector.
USB Device Ports
Two USB device ports allow you to add shared peripherals. This reduces
cable clutter and eliminates the need to disconnect and reconnect
devices when switching between computers.

OVERVIEW
Equipment Requirements
Cables
For each dual-head VGA/USB computer to be connected to the Switch,
one dual-head VGA/USB cable is necessary.
To support resolutions of up to 2048x1536@85Hz, use of a 75-Ohm
coaxial cable is required to preserve signal integrity. Cables must have
HDDB15 female to HDDB15 male connectors.
Belkin OmniView KVM Cables for SOHO Series with Audio offer the highest
quality possible to ensure that your data is optimally transmitted and
include PC99 color-coded connectors for easier identification and
connection. Double-shielded, strain-relief constructed KVM Cables for
SOHO Series include an industry-standard, 14-pin, coaxial, VGA cable, and
nickel-plated connectors for high-resolution applications. The following
cables are recommended for your KVM Switch:
F1D9501-XX

OVERVIEW
Where to Place the Switch
The compact size of the Switch makes it perfect for desktop placement.
Consider the following when deciding where to place the Switch: whether
or not you intend to use the direct-access port selectors; the length of
the cables attached to your keyboard, mouse, and monitor; the location
of your CPUs from your Console; and the length of the cables you will use
to connect your computers to the Switch.
Cable Distance Requirements
USB signals are the strongest when transmitted up to 15 feet between
the Switch and the CPU. Beyond 15 feet, probability of signal degradation
increases, which can cause the device to fail.
Cautions and Warnings
Avoid having cables near fluorescent lights, air conditioning equipment, or
machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).

STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION GUIDE
Connecting the Computers to the KVM Switch
1. Boot up the computer you wish to connect via USB as you would
normally with the USB keyboard, monitor, and USB mouse connected
directly to the computer. Once the operating system has loaded,
attach the male and female VGA KVM cable connectors to the Switch.
Then attach the USB KVM cable connector to the back of the
computer. The operating system will automatically install the Switch.
Do this for all USB connections.
2. Shut down your computer. Take the two male VGA cable ends and
connect them to the appropriate female VGA ports on the back of the
computer. Connect the speaker audio connector to the computer’s
audio-output port. Do the same for the microphone connection. Do this
for all computers.

USING YOUR SWITCH
You can select which computer to operate by either the direct-access port
selector located on the front panel of the Switch or through keyboard hot
key commands. Note that it will take 1–2 seconds for the video to display
after switching. This is due to the refresh rate of the video signal. There
is also re-synchronization of the mouse and keyboard signal that takes
place. This is normal operation and ensures that proper synchronization is
established.
Selecting a Computer Using Direct-Access Port Selectors
You can directly select which computer you wish to control by pressing
the corresponding direct-access port selector next to the appropriate
port. The LED will be lit to indicate that the port is currently selected.
Selecting a Computer Using Keyboard Hot Key Commands
Note: You must connect the USB keyboard to the designated USB
connector to have keyboard hot key switching function on
the keyboard.
You can command the Switch to switch ports with a simple keyboard
command sequence by using the [SCROLL LOCK] key and [UP], [DOWN]
arrow keys. To send commands to the Switch, the [SCROLL LOCK] key must
be pressed twice within two seconds. You will hear a beep for
confirmation. Then you can press the [UP], [DOWN] arrow keys to switch
between ports.
Switch to next active port,
[UP] arrow
Switch to previous active port,
[DOWN] arrow
You can switch directly to any port by entering the port number of the port
you wish to use. For example, if you press [SCROLL LOCK], [SCROLL LOCK],
[2], the computer on port 2 will be selected.
Switch to port 2—#2 key
Switch to port 4—#4 key

USING YOUR SWITCH
AutoScan Mode
In AutoScan mode the Switch remains on one port for 10 seconds before
switching to the next. This time interval cannot be changed.
To enable AutoScan mode press [SCROLL LOCK], [SCROLL LOCK],
[0], [0]
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 KVM switches to the next port, communication between
the computer and Switch could be interrupted and cause erratic mouse
movement, or wrong characters to display when using the keyboard.
To disable AutoScan mode, press the space bar.
Enable AutoScan mode—#0 key
Connecting USB Devices to the Built-In 2-Port Hub
The Switch includes a built-in 2-port USB device hub that allows you to
connect two additional shared peripherals. When you connect any USB
device to the Switch, that device can be accessed through whichever
computer you are currently using.
Note: This is 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
example, you are working on computer 1 with a file open that is stored on a
Zip drive connected to the Switch. If you switch to computer 2 while the
file is still open, you will get a “file lost or corrupted” error message on
computer one. The same will occur when you are using a streaming device
such as the Belkin VideoBus USB video capture device. You can switch from
one computer safely to the next, only if the VideoBus is no longer in use by
the first computer. You will notice that after the KVM switches to another
computer, the mouse remains inoperative for one or two seconds. This is
normal, and ensures that proper USB synchronization is established.
