OmniView Cable Kits Belkin also offers a complete OmniView AT Cable Kit. It includes one keyboard, one mouse and the VGA cable for convenience. Select the appropriate one based on the type of mouse your computer uses. If the keyboard cable does not match with the port, simply attach one of the keyboard adapters mentioned above. [. . . ] Simply connect the cascaded OmniView's console port to one of its "parent" OmniView's free ports, as below: Usage: Selecting which computer to operate can be done in two different ways - either by pressing the front-panel pushbutton, or by entering the hot-key sequence. · Pressing the pushbutton in front simply cycles through every port on the OmniView, as shown by the solid green light on any of the "PC Ports" 1 through 6. To select a computer on cascaded OmniViews, press the button to select the port where the cascaded OmniView is connected. Then, select the port on the cascaded OmniView where the desired computer is connected. · Entering the hot-key sequence allows direct port access from the keyboard, even through cascaded OmniViews. Press <ALT>+<CTRL>+<SHIFT> all at the same time, then release. If you have cascaded OmniViews, you will have to press two (or three) numbers, x y z, where x is the port on the top level OmniView, y is the port on the second level OmniView, and z is the port on the third level OmniView. You should hear a beep to confirm the OmniView has switched to the desired port. For example, pressing <ALT>+<CTRL>+<SHIFT> 1 2 3 <ENTER> selects Port 1 on the top level OmniView, Port 2 on the second level OmniView, and Port 3 on the third level OmniView. The OmniView filters out the hot-key sequences, preventing unwanted characters from appearing in the computer's applications. Scan Mode The OmniView can be set for automatic scan mode. In scan mode, the OmniView switches from one computer to the next in regular time intervals set by the DIP switches. When the OmniView is in scan mode, there is no keyboard control passed to the displayed computers. This is necessary because switching is handled by the OmniView, not the operator. Note: Scan mode will continue indefinitely, until the <SPACE> bar is pressed and scan mode is terminated. Also, the OmniView will only scan to ports that have computers enabled on it. · To invoke scan mode, the following hot key sequence must be entered: <ALT>+<CTRL>+<SHIFT> 0 <ENTER> You will then hear a beep to confirm scan mode is taking place, and this can be verified visually by the flashing lights on the currently selected computer port. Setting the scan time on each port is done through the DIP switches found on the back of the OmniView: DIP Switch Number Scan Time 1 2 3 4 (seconds) ON ON OFF ON 3 OFF ON OFF ON 10 ON OFF OFF ON 20 OFF OFF OFF ON 40 Quick Last/Next Switching mode Quick Last/Next switching mode is similar to scan mode, except the operator has control over the switching. In this mode, the operator can press either one of the shift keys to switch to the adjacent computer previous or after the currently selected port. There is also no keyboard control during this mode, but the mouse is still completely operable. Note: Quick Last/Next switching mode will continue indefinitely, until the <SPACE> bar is pressed and is terminated. · To invoke quick Last/Next switching mode, the following hot key sequence must be entered: <ALT>+<CTRL>+<SHIFT> 9 <ENTER> You will then hear a beep to confirm quick Last/Next switching mode is taking place, and this can be verified visually by the slow blinking light on the currently selected computer port. · · To select the next adjacent computer, press the RIGHT side <SHIFT> key. To select the previous adjacent computer, press the LEFT side <SHIFT> key. Troubleshooting: WARNING! Make sure that all equipment is turned off when connecting or disconnecting any cables. Plugging and unplugging cables while the computer or OmniView are powered could potentially damage the computer, the OmniView, or both.
