Where to place the Switch:  
The enclosure of the Switch is designed for stand-alone or rack-mount  
configuration. The Switch can be mounted to a standard 19-inch server rack  
using the included rack-mount brackets and screws.  
Consider the following when deciding where to place the Switch:  
• whether or not you intend to use the front-panel port selectors  
• the lengths of the cables attached to your keyboard, monitor, and mouse  
• the location of your servers in relation to your console  
• the lengths of the cables you use to connect your servers to the Switch

Cable-Distance Requirements (for PS/2, USB, and Sun Servers)  
VGA signals transmit best up to 100 feet (30m). Beyond that length, the  
probability of video degradation increases. For this reason, Belkin recommends  
that the length of the CAT5 UTP cable between the Switch and the connected  
servers does not exceed 100 feet (30m).  
Note: The Belkin CAT5 Extender (F1D084vea2) may be used to extend your  
console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor) by up to 300 feet (91m).  
Warning: Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air-conditioning  
equipment, or machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).  
You are now ready to begin installation of your Switch. The following  
sections (pages 13–22) provide complete instructions for the hardware  
setup of a single Switch (F1DP108Gea, F1DP116Gea).

your server to boot normally. The server connected to port 1 will be  
displayed on the monitor.  
4.2 Check that the keyboard, monitor, and mouse are working normally.  
4.3 Using the port selectors, check all occupied ports to verify that all  
servers are connected and responding correctly. If you encounter an  
error, check your cable connections for that server and reboot. If the  
problem persists, please refer to the “Troubleshooting” section in this  
User Manual.

to the “Remote Installation” section on page 28.  
You can daisy-chain up to 15 additional OmniView SMB and PRO2 KVM  
Switches to your OmniView SMB KVM-over-IP Switch, allowing a server  
administrator to manage up to a maximum of 256 servers from one local or  
remote console. Each daisy-chained KVM Switch is referred to as a “BANK” and  
is assigned an address. The SMB KVM-over-IP Switch connected to the console  
keyboard, mouse, and monitor can only function as the “primary” KVM switch.  
BANKs 01 through 15 are referred to as “secondary” KVM switches.  
3
4
5
Note: The SMB KVM-over-IP Switch can only function as the primary KVM  
switch. You cannot daisy-chain two SMB KVM-over-IP Switches together.  
6
Note: A Daisy-Chain Cable (F1D108-CBL-XX) is required to daisy-chain  
each KVM Switch and is available through your Belkin reseller, or online at  
www.belkin.com (U.S. only).

How to Assign a BANK Address  
All SMB CAT5 and PRO2 KVM Switches feature a “BANK DIP” switch. The  
“BANK DIP” switch is used to assign the proper BANK address to each  
KVM Switch.  
9
10  
• For a multiunit configuration, the “BANK DIP” switch for each secondary unit  
must be set to a unique BANK address (from 01 through 15). Refer to the chart  
on page 24 for “BANK DIP” switch settings.

Three SMB CAT5 16-Port KVM Switches (F1DP116Aea) are daisy-chained  
together with an SMB KVM-over-IP 1x16 Switch (F1DP116Gea) to manage up  
to 64 servers. The DIP switches on the secondary units are each set to a unique  
BANK address (between 01 and 03).

Getting Started:  
1. Make sure that all servers and Switches are powered off and that each  
KVM Switch has been assigned a unique BANK address.  
2. Place the SMB KVM-over-IP Switch and all secondary KVM Switches in  
the desired location.  
3. Connect the console monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the console ports  
of the SMB KVM-over-IP Switch. Refer to “Connecting the Console to the  
Switch” on page 14.  
Connecting the Primary and Secondary KVM Switches:  
1. Using the Daisy-Chain Cable (F1D108-CBL-XX), connect one end to the  
“Daisy-Chain” port on the SMB KVM-over-IP Switch.  
2. Connect the other end of the Daisy-Chain Cable to the “Primary Input/  
Secondary Output” port of the first secondary KVM Switch (BANK 01).  
3. To add secondary units, connect one end of the Daisy-Chain Cable to the  
“Secondary Input” on the first secondary KVM Switch and the other end  
to the “Primary Input/Secondary Output” port of the next secondary KVM  
Switch (for example, BANK 01).  
4. Repeat step 3 for additional KVM Switches you wish to add to your  
daisy-chain configuration.

2. Make sure that the power adapter is connected to the SMB KVM-over-IP  
Switch and that the Switch is powered on. You should see the Switch  
light up and display the digits “00”, indicating its BANK address.  
3
3. Power up the secondary KVM Switches sequentially, beginning with BANK  
01, by connecting each unit’s power supply. Each KVM Switch should  
display its corresponding BANK address number as it is powered up.  
4
5
Note: If the secondary KVM Switches do not enumerate correctly, reset  
the SMB KVM-over-IP Switch (BANK 00) by simultaneously pressing the  
“BANK +” and “BANK –” buttons. You can also reset the primary switch  
to detect newly added secondary KVM Switches. If the KVM Switches  
still do not enumerate correctly, check that all KVM Switches have the  
correct BANK address assigned to them and that all daisy-chain cables are  
connected properly.  
6
7
4. Verify that the SMB KVM-over-IP Switch has detected all secondary  
KVM Switches by scrolling through the BANKs using the “BANK +” and  
“BANK –” buttons. If all secondary KVM Switches are detected properly,  
the LED display on the primary KVM Switch will register and display the  
BANK address of the attached secondary KVM Switch.

Remote Installation  
Step 1 Identifying the IP Address  
Once your Switch has been connected to your network and is powered up,  
a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on your network will  
automatically assign the Switch an IP address, gateway address, and  
subnet mask.  
To identify the IP address on your network, use the MAC address or unique  
device number located on the back of the Switch. If no DHCP server is  
found on your network, the Switch will boot with the following static IP  
address: 192.168.2.155.  
If you want to connect more than one Switch to the same network and there is  
no DHCP server available, connect each Switch to your network one at a time  
and change the static IP address of each unit before connecting the next unit.  
Note: If a DHCP server later becomes available on your network, the  
Switch will take a new IP address from the DHCP server. To keep the  
original static IP address, you will need to disable DHCP (see page 32).

When first connecting to the Switch’s HTTPS configuration page, two browser  
security warnings may appear. Click “Yes” on both warnings.  
Note: The first security warning only occurs once per client machine. This is  
when the Belkin root certificate is installed. The second warning can be avoided  
by adding a line to your Windows “hosts” file (typically at \winnt\system32\  
drivers\etc\hosts—edit using Notepad). The line format should be “IP address  
any name.kvm.net”. (For example: 192.168.2.155BelkinSMB.kvm.net.)

Note: Your firewall or router security access list must enable inbound  
communication through the selected TCP ports for the Switch’s address.  
Ports 80 and 443 are used for standard Web communication and should be  
open. For client-computer access from a secured LAN, the selected ports  
should be open for outbound communication.

Enable DHCP  
When this box is checked (default setting), a DHCP server on your network is  
enabled to assign an IP address to the Switch. When this box is not checked  
(recommended), you can assign a static IP address to the Switch.  
Set a Static IP  
If you choose not to use DHCP, uncheck the “Enable DHCP” box, then enter  
the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for LAN, as provided by your  
network administrator.  
Note: If you enter a static IP address without unchecking the “Enable DHCP”  
box, the static IP address will not work and DHCP will remain enabled.  
Note: Where you have access to the server, your configured (or default) Switch  
device name will appear on the DHCP server’s list, making it easy to locate.

Mouse-Pointer Alignment  
When working remotely at the client computer, two mouse pointers will appear:  
one for the client computer and one for the target server. The client computer’s  
mouse pointer will appear on top of the target server’s. The mouse pointers  
should be synchronized (aligned). If they are not synchronized, follow the  
instructions below.  
To align mouse pointers:  
1. In the quick-access toolbar, click  
2. Select “Align” or press “Ctrl+M”.  
Mouse-Pointer Calibration  
A target server may have a different mouse-pointer speed than the client  
computer. Calibration automatically discovers the mouse speed of the target  
server and aligns the two pointers. When you calibrate pointers, the Switch  
saves the alignment, so calibration is only needed once per target server.  
To calibrate mouse pointers (for servers running on Windows NT  
or 2000):  
1. In the quick-access toolbar, click  
2. Select “Calibrate”.  
Note: If the video-noise level is above zero, calibration may not work properly.  
Go to “Video Adjustment” and try to eliminate the noise by pressing “Audio  
Video Adjust”, or by adjusting the bars in “Manual Video Adjust”, then perform  
the mouse calibration again.

Using the Switch from a Local Console  
Now that you have connected your console and servers to the Switch,  
it is ready for use. You can select connected servers by using either the  
front-panel port selectors, the On-Screen Display (OSD), or hot-key commands  
through the console keyboard. It takes approximately 1–2 seconds for the video  
signal to refresh after switching servers. Re-synchronization of the mouse and  
keyboard signals also occurs. This is normal operation and ensures that proper  
synchronization is established between the console and the connected servers.  
Selecting a Server or BANK  
Selecting a Server or BANK Using Hot Keys  
Switch to the next or previous port with simple keyboard hot-key sequences  
using the Scroll Lock key and either the up or down arrow keys. To send  
commands to the Switch, the Scroll Lock key must be pressed twice within two  
seconds. The Switch will beep, confirming that it is in hot-key mode. Next, press  
the up arrow key and the Switch will switch to the next port. Press the down  
arrow key to switch to the previous port.  
Switch to previous active port,  
“Down” arrow  
Switch to next active port, “Up” arrow.  
With a single-switch configuration (no daisy-chained KVM switches), you can  
switch directly to any port by entering the 2-digit number of the port you wish to  
access. For example, if you press “Scroll Lock”, “Scroll Lock”, “02”, the Switch  
will switch to the server on port 2 located on BANK 00.

Selecting a Server Using Port Selectors  
You can directly select which server you wish to control by pressing the port  
selector next to the corresponding port. The LED will illuminate to indicate  
the port is currently selected. If you are installing multiple KVM Switches that  
are daisy-chained, use the BANK scroll keys located on the front panel of  
the primary KVM Switch to access other servers that are connected to the  
secondary KVM Switches.  
Selecting a BANK Using Scroll Buttons  
Pressing the “BANK +” and “BANK –” scroll buttons on the primary KVM Switch  
will allow you to switch between the daisy-chained Switches. Pressing both  
buttons simultaneously will reset the Switch.  
The “BANK +” button will take you to the next BANK. For example, when you  
are at the primary switch (BANK 00) and want to check servers on BANK 02,  
pressing the “BANK +” button will take you to BANK 02. As a default, the first  
active server will be displayed on the console monitor. Use the port selectors to  
go to the desired server on BANK 02.  
The “BANK –” button will take you to the previous BANK (for example, when you  
are at BANK 02 and want to check servers in BANK 01). Pressing the “BANK  
–” button will take you to BANK 01. As a default, the first active server will be  
displayed on the console monitor. Use the port selectors to go to the desired  
server on BANK 01.

2
The AutoScan feature allows you to set your Switch to scan and monitor the  
activities of all connected servers one by one. The Switch remains on one server  
for a preset number of seconds, before switching to the next server. The time  
interval allotted for each server can be defined or adjusted through the OSD  
menu (see the “Scan Time” section).  
3
When the Switch is in AutoScan mode, it is also in view-only mode. This means  
that input from the console (keyboard and mouse) will not be transmitted to the  
server in focus. Cancel AutoScan to regain control of the server.  
4
5
To activate the AutoScan function, press the “AutoScan” button on the Switch.  
You can also activate AutoScan on your keyboard by pressing “Scroll Lock”,  
“Scroll Lock”, space bar, F4”.

To disable AutoScan, press any button on the front panel or any key on  
the keyboard.  
7
Note: There is no mouse or keyboard control in AutoScan mode. This is  
necessary to prevent data and synchronization errors. If the user is using the  
mouse or keyboard when the Switch is switching between ports, data flow may  
become interrupted and could result in erratic mouse movement and/or wrong-  
character input when using the keyboard.

Problem:  
8
I am connecting the USB Server Interface Module to my USB server and  
my keyboard and mouse do not work.

Solution:  
• Prior to connecting the USB Server Interface Module, make sure that the HID  
USB driver is installed on each server. (To install the HID USB driver, connect  
a USB mouse and USB keyboard to the server. A Windows operating system  
should automatically install the drivers.)

Troubleshooting  
Remote Console  
Problem:  
The Remote console login page will not display on my browser.  
Solution:  
• Verify that you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher.  
• Verify that the ActiveX plug-in is installed and enabled for the web browser.  
• A firewall may prevent access to the remote console. Verify that default ports  
900, 901, and 902 for both HTTP and HTTPS are open. If you have selected  
your own ports, verify that the three consecutive ports are open based on the  
first port number you selected.  
Problem:  
The video quality is bad and/or grainy.  
Solution:  
• Use the quick-access toolbar to refresh the video screen.  
• Select “Automated Adjust” under Manual video settings. Refer to page 52.  
Problem:  
I forgot my password. How can I reset the RIPM to factory defaults?  
Solution:  
• Refer to the “Restoring Factory Defaults” section on page 57.  
Problem:  
I changed the LAN settings to a static IP address, but I cannot get into the  
web interface through the new IP address.  
Solution:  
• Make sure you uncheck the “Enable DHCP” box.  
• Check whether the computer you are using to access the web interface has  
an IP address in the same domain as the new IP address to which you set  
your Switch.

AutoScan: A mode of operation where the KVM switch scans from one port  
to another, on an ongoing basis, as configured by the user.  
BANK: The address of a daisy-chained KVM switch (00–15), set by the  
DIP switch.  
3
Client Computer: The computer being used to access the Switch remotely over  
a TCP/IP connection.  
4
Console: The all-in-one term for the keyboard, video monitor, and mouse  
connected to a KVM switch.  
5
6
Console Port: Receptors for the console to connect to the KVM switch.

DDC: Short for Display Data Channel, a VESA standard for communication  
between a monitor and a video adapter. Using DDC, a monitor can inform a  
computer’s video card about its properties, such as maximum resolution and  
color depth, to ensure that the user is presented with valid options for  
configuring the display.  
9
10  
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. An Internet protocol that allows  
nodes to dynamically acquire (“lease”) network addresses for periods of  
time rather than having to pre-configure them. DHCP greatly simplifies the  
administration of large networks, and networks in which nodes frequently join  
and depart.  
Daisy-Chain: A configuration of multiple KVM switches that are connected one  
to another in a series. A KVM-switch daisy-chain uses common settings to allow  
seamless, complex interactions between multiple consoles for control over  
many servers.  
HID: Human Interface Device, the USB-device class that includes keyboards  
and mice.

Glossary  
KVM: Literally “Keyboard Video Mouse”, this term refers to technology  
that allows two or more computers to be controlled by one keyboard,  
video monitor, and mouse; some switches that use KVM technology  
enable sharing of other peripherals such as audio speakers, microphones,  
and printers.  
KVM Switch: A device that allows a user to access and control multiple servers  
from a single console. It has at least one console port and multiple server ports.  
MAC: Media Access Control. In computer networking, a MAC address is a  
unique identifier attached to most forms of networking equipment.  
OSD: On-Screen Display, a graphical user interface that can be used to control  
and configure the KVM switch.  
Port: An interface receptor on a server through which you can attach a device or  
plug in a device cable.  
Primary KVM Switch: The switch that is connected to the console and is set to  
BANK address 00.  
SSL: Secure Sockets Layer. Cryptographic protocols that provide secure  
communications on the Internet for such things as email and Internet banking.  
Secondary KVM Switch: Any KVM switch that is daisy-chained to the primary  
KVM switch and is set to BANK address 01–15 (and has no console connected).  
TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Shorthand for the suite  
of rules defining the format devices use to communicate over the Internet.  
Target Server: The server currently being accessed and controlled by the user  
from a local or remote console.
