Troubleshooting

1. Ensure that all cables are well seated. Label all of cables with the number for each
respective computer to avoid confusion.

2. The recommended VGA cable distance is 5 meters maximum without ghosting and

degradation. Normally, the cable length is based on driver capacity of your VGA card. If you
need longer VGA cable, please use VGA extender (Model No. VGA-100, MAX. 100 feet ) to
accomplish your applications.

3. The recommended PS2 cable distance is 5 meters maximum. Normally, the cable length is

based on driver capacity of your motherboard PS2 port. If you need longer PS2 cable,
please use PS2 extender ( Model No. PS2-100, MAX. 100 feet ) to accomplish your
applications.

4. The Power Jack polarity is center positive and the power adapter need be DC12V, 1A or

DC9V, 1A.

5. Don’t press any keys on the keyboard while the selected computer is booting up. Otherwise,

it might cause the keyboard error or keyboard is not detected at PC side.

6. The computer boot up fine, but keyboard doesn’t work

z Make sure the keyboard works when directly plugged into the computer.
z Try a different keyboard, but use only 101, 102 or 104-key keyboard.

7. The Mouse is not detected during PC boot up.

z Make sure the mouse works when directly plugged into the computer.
z Make sure the mouse is a true PS/2 mouse. A combo mouse will work just as long as it is

set for PS/2 mode with the correct adapter. Try a different mouse.

z Avoiding moving the mouse or pressing the mouse buttons when switching ports.
z Avoiding switching ports during shutting down the PC process.
z When you switch one PC port to another PC port, the best scan time setting need to be set

to 5 sec. or more. Normally, the VGA monitor change one resolution mode to another will
take one or two seconds. So, the scan time is not recommended to below 5 seconds.

8. The power switch is off, but the switch still works fine or power adapter is unplugged from the

switch, but the switch still works fine.
GFC 1716A unit draws the power source from power adapter and all PC’s PS2 port. Some
PC’s PS2 port can support enough power for the switch, but some PC’s PS2 port ( like
laptop, notebook computer…etc.) is unable to supply enough power for the switch. In order
to make sure the system can work steadily, please do not set power switch to off state or
remove the power adapter from the switch.

9. If you forget the “ password ” you typed, please contact CyberResearch, Inc.

Product Service

Diagnosis and Debug

CyberResearch, Inc. maintains technical support lines staffed by experienced
Applications Engineers and Technicians. There is no charge to call and we will
return your call promptly if it is received while our lines are busy. Most problems
encountered with data acquisition products can be solved over the phone. Signal
connections and programming are the two most common sources of difficulty.
CyberResearch support personnel can help you solve these problems, especially
if you are prepared for the call.

To ensure your call’s overall success and expediency:

1) Have the phone close to the PC so you can conveniently and quickly take
action that the Applications Engineer might suggest.

2) Be prepared to open your PC, remove boards, report back-switch or
jumper settings, and possibly change settings before reinstalling the
modules.

3) Have a volt meter handy to take measurements of the signals you are
trying to measure as well as the signals on the board, module, or power
supply.

4) Isolate problem areas that are not working as you expected.

5) Have the source code to the program you are having trouble with available
so that preceding and prerequisite modes can be referenced and
discussed.

6) Have the manual at hand. Also have the product’s utility disks and any
other relevant disks nearby so programs and version numbers can be
checked.

Preparation will facilitate the diagnosis procedure, save you time, and avoid
repeated calls. Here are a few preliminary actions you can take before you call
which may solve some of the more common problems:

1) Check the PC-bus power and any power supply signals.

2) Check the voltage level of the signal between SIGNAL HIGH and SIGNAL
LOW, or SIGNAL+ and SIGNAL– . It CANNOT exceed the full scale range
of the board.

Warranty Notice

CyberResearch, Inc. warrants that this equipment as furnished will be free from
defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the confirmed
date of purchase by the original buyer and that upon written notice of any such
defect, CyberResearch, Inc. will, at its option, repair or replace the defective item
under the terms of this warranty, subject to the provisions and specific exclusions
listed herein.

This warranty shall not apply to equipment that has been previously repaired or
altered outside our plant in any way which may, in the judgment of the manufacturer,
affect its reliability. Nor will it apply if the equipment has been used in a manner
exceeding or inconsistent with its specifications or if the serial number has been
removed.

CyberResearch, Inc. does not assume any liability for consequential damages as a
result from our products uses, and in any event our liability shall not exceed the
original selling price of the equipment.

The equipment warranty shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of any Buyer
of Seller equipment and the sole and exclusive liability of the Seller, its successors
or assigns, in connection with equipment purchased and in lieu of all other
warranties expressed implied or statutory, including, but not limited to, any implied
warranty of merchant ability or fitness and all other obligations or liabilities of seller,
its successors or assigns.

The equipment must be returned postage prepaid. Package it securely and insure it.
You will be charged for parts and labor if the warranty period has expired.

Returns and RMAs

If a CyberResearch product has been diagnosed as being non-functional, is visibly
damaged, or must be returned for any other reason, please call for an assigned
RMA number. The RMA number is a key piece of information that lets us track and
process returned merchandise with the fastest possible turnaround time.

PLEASE CALL FOR AN RMA NUMBER!

Packages returned without an RMA number will be refused!

In most cases, a returned package will be refused at the receiving dock if its
contents are not known. The RMA number allows us to reference the history of
returned products and determine if they are meeting your application’s requirements.
When you call customer service for your RMA number, you will be asked to provide
information about the product you are returning, your address, and a contact person
at your organization.

Please make sure that the RMA number is prominently

displayed on the outside of the box.
