How to use and install the Belkin F1DN008KBD

The Belkin KVM Remote Control with Integrated Keyboard, F1DN008KBD introduces a new secure KVM client experience while supporting Belkin's goal to tidy up the administrator's work area. It also allows full control and awareness of the KVM while flawlessly covering the KVM away from the administrator, offering an ideally cleaned-up workspace.

The steps below will show you how to use and set up your Belkin F1DN008KBD.

NOTE: Verify that all peripherals and computers are turned OFF prior to connecting them to the product. Some models of Belkin Universal 2nd generation SKVMs back panel are divided into sections of console ports and computer ports.

Connecting the USB keyboard to the KVM console port-marked keyboard
Using the remote control

Connecting the USB keyboard to the KVM console port-marked keyboard

Step 1:
Connect the remote control with an integrated keyboard to be shared by the KVM to the console port-marked keyboard. The remote control will operate as the front panel of the SKVM when connected to the proper SKVM model.

Step 2:
Connect the other peripherals to the console. If the remote control is connected to an incorrect SKVM or PC it will function as a standard keyboard and will not function to operate the SKVM’s front panel.

Confirm that all other peripherals and PCs are connected to the SKVM per the SKVM quick installation guide (QIG).

Using the remote control

Ports 1 to 4 are inaccessible when the SKVM FN key is not active, while ports 5 to 8 are accessible when the SKVM FN key is active.
