Last Friday we re-organised the Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) switches at one of our server rooms. Previously we had never bothered to daisy chain our KVM switches and consequently had three KVM switches, each with their own keyboard, mouse and monitor. As we had two identical KVM switches -
Belkin Omni View Pro 8 Port KVM Switches (F1D108-OSD) - it seemed logical to place these physically together, daisy chaining them using a
Belkin 2' Daisy-Chain Cable (F1D108-CBL) so that they could share a single keyboard, mosue and monitor. However, when we did this the monitor attached to the master unit would only work for devices attached to the master unit; we had to attach a second monitor to the slave unit to handle devices attached to the slave unit. The master unit keyboard and mouse worked successfully for both devices connected to the master and the slave unit. Has anyone else come across this problem and found a solution so that only a single monitor is required?
