Pre-Configuration  
Where to Place the KVM Switch:  
This section provides complete instructions for the hardware setup of a  
single E Series KVM Switch. (F1DB102P or F1DB104P)  
The OmniView E Series KVM Switch is designed to sit on the desktop.  
Where you place the KVM Switch will be based on the location of your  
CPUs and the length of your cables.  
Important Note:  
Before attempting to connect anything to the E Series KVM Switch or to  
any computer, make sure that everything is powered off. Plugging and  
unplugging cables while computers are powered on can cause irreversible  
damage to your computers and/or KVM switch. Belkin Components will  
not be responsible for damage caused by these actions.  
Cable Distance Requirements:  
For PS/2 computers: VGA signals are best retained when transmitted up to  
25 feet (7.5m). Beyond 25 feet (7.5m), probability of video degradation  
increases with an increase in distance. For this reason, your PS/2 computer  
should be placed within 25 feet (7.5m) of the KVM Switch.  
Note: If your computer needs to be more than 25 feet (7.5m) from the  
KVM switch, you can use the Belkin CAT5 Extender to extend your PS/2  
keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and monitor up to 500 feet (152.4m) away using  
standard CAT5 UTP cable.

In AutoScan mode, the E Series KVM Switch remains on one port  
for 10 seconds before switching to the next. This time interval  
cannot be changed.  
You can conveniently change ports with the switch through a keyboard  
command sequence by using the [SCROLL LOCK] key and [UP],  
[DOWN] arrow keys. To send commands to the E Series KVM Switch,  
press the [SCROLL LOCK] key twice within two seconds. You will hear a  
beep for confirmation. Then you can press the [UP], [DOWN] arrow keys  
to switch between ports.

I am getting ghosting, shadowing, or fuzzy images on my monitor.  
Check that all video cables are inserted properly.  
Note: The E Series KVM will require the use of the optional AC  
power adapter since power cannot be drawn from the computer via  
the keyboard or through a USB port.  
Check that the monitor you are using supports the resolution and  
refresh-rate setting on your computer.  
Check that the graphics card you are using supports the resolution and  
refresh-rate setting on your computer.  
Q: Can I use the E Series KVM Switch on my Sun computer?  
Connect the monitor directly into the computer you are having trouble  
with to see if the problem still appears.  
A: Yes, the E Series KVM Switch works with Sun computers when used  
with the Belkin OmniView PS/2 SUN Adapter (F1D082).  
I am getting a black screen on my monitor.  
Q: How long is the warranty for the E Series KVM Switch?  
Check that all video cables are inserted properly.  
A: The E Series KVM Switch comes with a Two-Year Limited Warranty.  
If you are not using a power adapter, check that the keyboard cable is  
connected and inserted properly between the computer and KVM for  
the appropriate port.  
If you are using the KVM for video switching only and have no  
keyboard and mouse connection between the KVM and computer,  
you will need to purchase the Optional 9V DC, 600mA power adapter  
(F1D065-PWR for your appropriate country).  
Connect your monitor directly to the computer to verify that your  
monitor is functioning properly.  
KEYBOARD  
Computer does not detect keyboard and I get a Keyboard Error reported  
at boot up.  
Check that the keyboard cable between the KVM switch and the  
computer is connected properly. Tighten any loose connections.  
Try swapping your keyboard with a different one.  
Try connecting the computer to a different port.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
If you are using the keyboard software that was included with  
your keyboard, uninstall it and install the standard Microsoft  
keyboard driver.  
When I switch from one port to another, mouse movement is  
completely erratic.  
Make sure you do not have more than one mouse driver installed.  
Make sure that the driver is either for a standard PS/2 mouse or a  
Microsoft compatible PS/2 mouse.  
MOUSE  
Make sure you do not have any mouse drivers loaded in your  
CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files.  
Mouse is lost when I switch to a different channel.  
Check that the mouse you are using is connected properly to the  
console of the KVM switch.  
Avoid moving the mouse or pressing the mouse button when switching  
ports on the E Series KVM switch.  
If you are using a mouse driver that was included with your mouse,  
uninstall it and install the standard Microsoft mouse driver.  
You can reset the mouse and resume proper mouse movement simply  
by unplugging the mouse from the front of the E Series KVM Switch  
and waiting about 2-3 seconds before plugging it in again.  
Disconnect and reconnect the mouse cable attached to the channel  
with which you are experiencing problems to resynchronize the  
mouse connection.  
GENERAL  
Attach the mouse directly to the computer you are experiencing mouse  
problems with.  
My computer does not boot when connected to the E Series KVM Switch  
but works fine when I connect the keyboard, video, and mouse directly  
to it.  
Allow up to one minute following the computers waking from standby  
mode for mouse function to return.  
Make sure that the keyboard and mouse cables are connected tightly  
between the KVM Switch and the computer.  
Deactivate power-management schemes on the PC that you are  
experiencing problems with.  
Check that the keyboard and mouse cables are not crossed.  
Try swapping the mouse with a different one.  
The mouse is not detected at boot up.  
Check the cables and make sure that they are inserted properly.  
The computer boots up fine, but the mouse does not work.  
Make sure it is plugged in properly.  
Make sure the mouse works when directly plugged into the computer.  
Rebooting may be necessary when trying this.  
Try a different mouse.
