Not sure if this is the correct model but here goes

 

Usage:

Selecting which computer to operate can be done in two different ways - either by pressing the front-panel

pushbuttons, or by entering the hot-key sequence.

 

• Pressing the pushbuttons in front directly switches to the selected port on the OmniView, as shown by

the solid green light on either Port #1 or #2.

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. The procedure is very simple, and easy to remember:

 

1. Press <ALT>+<CTRL>+<SHIFT> all at the same time, then release.

2. Press the port number of the computer you wish to control. 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. Press the correct key (or keys in succession), then release.

3. Press <ENTER>, then release.

 

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.

Hit scroll lock twice until you hear a beep, then press number 1 or number 2 depending on which computer is on port 1 or 2

If you can lie on the floor without holding on, then you’re not drunk.
