Problem Cause Solution

Mouse Not Responding**

Mouse needs to be reset

Unplug the mouse from the Switch, then plug it back in.

Switch needs to be reset

Turn off the PCs. Wait 5 seconds; then turn the PCs on.

Wrong type of mouse or adapter

The switch will only work with a PS/2 mouse. A serial mouse cannot be converted to a PS/2 mouse by using a serial to PS/2 adapter. One exception is a combo-mouse which is specifically designed for both applications. In this case, ensure that the mouse is set up for PS/2 mode and is being used with the adapter originally provided.

Unsupported or incorrect mouse driver

Each PC needs to be using the mouse driver correlating to the mouse connected to the console port.

Some newer mice (with extra buttons and wheels) have unique drivers that may not be supported. Try a regular mouse with a generic mouse driver (like the one that comes with the operating system).

Problem Cause Solution

* This Switch is designed to work with AT and PS/2

keyboards. Older XT (84 key) and some older AT keyboards (those with the function keys on the side) will not work.

** Some Notebook computers, notably the IBM

Thinkpad and Toshiba Tecra, have trouble working with a switch when their mouse and keyboard ports are used simultaneously. To avoid this problem, only connect the mouse port or the keyboard port to the Switch. If you connect the mouse port, you will need to use the notebook’s keyboard when the notebook is the active computer.

Video Problems

Resolution and/or Bandwidth set too high

The Switch supports VGA, SVGA, Multisync, and XGA (interlaced) monitors with resolutions of up to 1920x1440 Hz. The maximum bandwidth is 180 MHz.

A power source such as a power panel or poorly insulated device is too close to the KVM switch or its cables

Move the device that is creating the electromagnetic interference, or move the KVM switch and/or its cables.
